OK - another weekend of being far too busy! We had the Weston Creek Bonsai Show which took a bit of time.

This week I plan on setting up all of the stuff I have for sale in one area, this will make it easy for people to look at, and also make it easy to take some pics.

If you are making your decision on whether to come to the sale based on photos, I will do my best to get them up here before the end of the week.

If you are in the market for some very old bonsai at ridiculous prices, then dont wait for the photos, just come along - there will be so many trees on offer.
Cheers,
Leigh.

ITS ON !!!!!


Today and tomorrow!!

I haven't been well the last couple of days, so I am a little behind in the set up! If you plan on getting here right on 10am please be patient, take your time, you might just find that gem you are looking for.

Keep an eye out for photos, on their way (I promise)
Cheers,
Leigh.

Well that was a big day ! So many people !

I am glad so many people were able to find something they really wanted at a bargain price.

I was a little disappointed, however, to be "hustled" by one customer in the rush to try and help everybody with prices, etc.

Oh well, I am a very generous person, lets just think of it as "charity" ! Don't forget, I have a family to take care of too.
Cheers,
Leigh.
