Blazing Staddles

A Garden Sale

Sunday 7th June 10am start

Over 100 Staddle Stones up for sale! What a jape!

After the monumental success of The Chavenage Garden Sale, only a mere 5 weeks ago we have another 650 lots of Garden, Salvage & Reclamation.

I feel exceptionally lucky to secure The Late Jim Robson Collection of Natural Stone Staddles and Troughs.

Jim’s son John has been a pleasure to work with even if he has done nothing but mock me to death.

Viewing at our site and at John’s (just outside Northleach) will be Saturday 6th June. No appointment necessary…

What fun!!!

Also Blazing Staddles I think could be our best sale title yet…

What… A… Day!!!!

I was feeling the pressure I’ll be honest. Having had a jewellery sale just a mere two months ago I didn’t know if we could do another and didn’t know if you lot would have the appetite for it. Presale we had very limited interest and our view was quiet yesterday. But… it made today even more sweet!

What pleases me more than a killer sale total of figures is seeing people who I love and enjoy. I must thank of for embroidering me this sweet piece for my new office (it’s almost ready) and Pauline for the cake and for her support and trust and of course the room full of people today who mainly turn up to heckle.

I feel incredibly lucky.

Just overwhelmed really…

Thank you ###

X Marks The Spot - come see and feel my bountiful b***y!

Saturday 30th May 10am start

Sale of jewellery, silver, watches and lush stuff basically.

After the success of The Tetbury Hoard sale they said it couldn’t be done again, oh yes, they said that and a lot worse... but here we are a mere two months from our last Jewels sale with another absolute HUM DINGER! Oh how they won’t bother to laugh on the other side of their fat ugly faces.

I’ve been bowled over by the support of all my vendors and buyers to let me carry on living my dream as the UKs most outlandish auctioneer and it’s putting together sales of this quality that keep the lead in the pencil...

Come and see us and have a view on Friday 29th May, it’ll be a relaxed affair with plenty of bubbly and our favourite stubby beers, we’ve got a new fancy printer for doing poshish catalogues all (and always) free.

If you’ve not been to us before give yourself a strict dressing down and make your way to the airfield where we have carved out our own little slice of paradise.
