A bit of luck

I managed to buy from Nikki tonight Olde bones and slate potion board and decided to buy Vampire scroll set and Dragon scroll. Unfortunately no luck with potions :( - still too slow at Etsy ;)

Well done you! I didnt dare look as Im trying to save for something!Also its only fair to let those that didnt get to go to Kensington get in and buy some of Nikkis delights. I am thrilled with my minis as always and know youll love them when they arrive. Kate xx

You have to be really quick, don't you??
I managed to get the dragon skull I wanted, and some other bits, but some of the items flew past me without me even seeing the listing! I had to keep checking the 'sold items'.
Isn't it good of Nikki to offer us these - it was a bit like being at a Fair, elbowing people aside to get at the goodies!!
I had a great time!

I did some shopping also, got a couple of sacks with mouse and set of pumpkins :)

Kate, you made me curious on what you are saving? Minis I hope;)Can't wait for my minis now:)

The Old Maid said...

Congrats Glenda! I was thinking about dragon skulls - too long I guess;) Yes, I was hoping Nikki would have some minis left after the Kensington and lucky us she had!:)

The Old Maid said...

I know, Janice, they were just too fast gone! :)

The Old Maid said...

Congrats, Ira! I saw the sacks in sold items only ;)

The Old Maid said...

Thank you, Debbie! Still I was too slow for the potions...much too slow.;)

The Old Maid said...

Thank you, Belen! I am so happy about it too!You have a great week too! As you all Ladies!

Michelle said...

Ewa, You managed to grab some of Nikki's items! She will list again! :o)) You DO have to be really quick, I think I've lost out one as many items as I've bought via Etsy from Nikki, so it's a matter of keep trying until you do succeed and you will. :o) I think the Etsy experience kinda resembled her stand at KDF!

I have an old bones slate board too. :o)
Michelle xxxx

The Old Maid said...

Yes I did, Michelle! :) And as I read you too!:) Gosh, did the people at KDF buy Nikki's minis with the same speed? Must have been really crowded area there ;) Hope Nikki will list soon ;)

Hi, just watching the Eurovision (and aren't I embarassed for Finland) and had to say that I actually liked Polands song :)

The Old Maid said...

I just posted about the Eurovision:) Your song is really cool! I don't know about ours...;)

The Old Maid said...

Muchas gracias Ascension! I hope I will be:)

Oh lol, just read this ever so late i know.
It shocks me too when they fly out and i too cant keep up.
But my stand at KDF was like packed for a few hours with no let up. I couldnt even think let alone add... got in a right pickle, because it was all too fast.
Need a bigger table next time to make it easier for myself and shoppers too.

The Old Maid said...

It just means you make beautiful and most wanted minis, Nikki!:) Bigger table and maybe a little helper for the next fair?:) Gosh, wish I could see the mini fair on my own eyes one day. Need to save the money first. ;)
