A COUPLE OF WEEKS AGO NOW FRIENDS I DECIDED I WOULD GO.

OUT TO A NEW TOWN TO DO A SHOP ONE WHICH I DON'T WELL KNOW.

JUST TO PASS THE TIME OF DAY AS SOMETIMES THEY ARE LONG.

I THOUGHT A CHANGE FROM THE DECORATING AND I WASN'T FEELING THRONG.

WELL I CAME UPON A HOSPICE SHOP AND THOUGHT I'D HAVE A BROWSE.

NOT FOR ANYTHING IN PARTICULAR BUT SOME PICTURES DID AROUSE.

MY ATTENTION WHEN I SAW THEM PLACED UPON THE FLOOR.

A SET OF TWELVE BY TEN INCHES AND IN THE SET WERE FOUR.

I PICKED ONE UP TO HAVE A LOOK AND FOUND THE ARTISTS NAME.

ON THE PRINTS I RECOGNISED IT AND SHE HAS QUITE A FAME.

FOR PAINTING WONDERFUL PICTURES AND SELLING THEM ONLINE .

ONLY PRINTS IN PASTEL COLOURS I THOUGHT THESE LOOK JUST FINE.

FOR DECORATION UP MY STAIRCASE AS THE FRAMES WERE PINE .

WITH MY WOODWORK STAINED THE SAME THEY'D MATCH UP IN A LINE.

THE PRINTS ARE OF " FELICITY WISHES" A STICK LIKE ANGEL GIRL.

FLUTTERING AMONGST THE FLOWERS WAVING HER WAND IN TWIRLS.

SPREADING ALL HER WISHES AMONGST WHAT'ERE SHE SHE'S.

I ASKED THE PRICE WHAT A SUPRIZE I'LL TAKE THEM OH! YES PLEASE.

NINETY NINE PENCE EACH THATS ALL GOOD GRIEF HOW CHEAP THE FOUR.

WHAT A BARGAIN I HAD SPOTTED THERE UPON THE FLOOR .

AS I CALL THIS MY SECOND HOME FOLKS EXPENSIVE I DON'T BUY.

TO PLACE INSIDE IT BUT I MAKE IT NICE WELL AT LEAST I TRY.

SO THE LADY WRAPPED THEM UP IN LOVELY TISSUE JUST AS IF.

THEY WERE BRAND NEW POPPED THEM IN MY SHOPPING BAG IN A JIF.

SHE PLACED THEM GENTLY I WAS REALY PLEASED WITH MY NEW PICS.

NICE WIDE FRAMES IN PINE AND NOT A MARK OR ANY CLICKS .

ON THE WOODWORK OF THE FRAMES OR THE GLASS SO NEW.

HERES A PICTURE OF THEM THAT I TOOK TO SHOW TO YOU.

WHEN I GOT HOME I LOOKED ON GOOGLE AND YES MOTHERHEN WAS RIGHT.

EMMA THOMSONS LITTLE FELICITY SERIES IN MY SIGHT.

FRAMED THESE FOUR COST TWENTY ONE POUND NINETY NINE PENCE EACH.

WHOO-HOO AT LAST A BARGAIN AND I THOUGHT THEY LOOKED A TREAT.

THEY TOOK AWAY THE BARE LOOK ON MY STAIRCASE AND I SEE.

THEM THROUGH THE OPEN SPINDLES WHEN I'M SAT ON MY SETTEE.

SO WHAT A BARGAIN HUNT I HAD I'LL VISIT THERE AGAIN.

A TEN MINUTE RIDE IS ALL IT TAKES SO IT'S NOT SUCH A PAIN.

TRAVELLING MILES AND I GO FREE WITH MY PENSIONERS PASS.

IT'S THE FIRST TIME I HAVE USED IT HAD IT TWO YRS THIS OLD LASS.

SO OFF I WILL BE TRIPPING MORE WHEN THE WEATHERS NICE.

TO SEE IF I CAN BAG ANOTHER BARGAIN AND SUPRIZE.

MYSELF WITH WHAT YOU CAN BUY IN THESE SHOPS FOR A GOOD CAUSE.

I LOVE MY LITTTLE PAINTINGS WHAT EMMA THOMSON DRAWS.

WHEN I TIRE OF THEM MY GRANDAUGHTER SAYS SHE WANTS THE LOT.

SO DIDN'T I DO WELL THAT DAY THIS BARGAIN THAT I GOT.

AH! WELL NOW I HAVE WROTE MY RHYME I'LL SETTLE DOWN AND READ.
