Le Soraie is a delicious red wine from my local Italian deli, 'Licatas', I can't pronounce it of course but they don't seem to mind. Thank you so much everyone for attending the auction today, for bidding over the phone and online and for leaving such great commission bids! Thank you too Tres Chic & VintagExplore magazines xx so funny watching Jodie Brown bidding for the first time and the boss of Dreweatts saying "don't worry, we can sort it out later" to the room when she failed to find her paddle number....later she admitted to me that she was not even sure what she had won!! And wow, the saleroom was packed. Richard & Peter were excellent on the rostrum, making fun of my catalogue descriptions (stunning, incredible, fabulous, beautiful) and keeping it all going.... The antique Chinese textiles & fans sold for so much over the estimates it was embarrassing - £100 - 200 turned into £1,800.00 etc.... finally, I am so happy its all over, and that it was a success, now for another glass of wine and a massive sleep.Love Samaya XXX

I spent far too much, all very exciting. A couple of things weren't there for me to pick up as shown on the photo, so I'm hoping they'll still be at the showroom? Is there somewhere we can see what things sold for? I have some identical antique lace wedding shawls that I missed on the day to see what they're worth and I'll probably want to submit my victorian items to the next one if I don't sell them before.
I spent far too much, it was all very exciting. I picked up my stuff yesterday but just noticed by comparing the catalogue picture a couple of items are missing, will they still be at the saleroom? I hope so.
Is there somewhere we can see what items sold for, some of the antique lace, wedding shawls, were identical to items I have and I missed them on the day, and would like to know what their value is? I am thinking also of submitting my very best victorian gowns for the next one, providing I don't sell them before Feb.
Great event though, well done.
