Janet has fallen in love with her majolica frog all over again
Janet has been in her glass box enjoying the sunshine and unwrapping more of her ceramics. She has found items that she had long forgotten about, items that made her wonder why she bought them in the first place, items she is determined to sell and items she has really missed being parted from. There were exclamations of delight as she unpacked her beloved Shelley collection and carefully displayed her Tall Trees next to her Red Daisy and Garland of flowers trios in the cabinet John had struggled to put up. He had very wisely put up two of these cabinets and Janet soon filled the second with Aynsley Butterfly Handle, Paragon Flower Handle and even more Shelley and Wileman Trios. It has become very clear that Janet’s collecting has at times bordered on hoarding which is why she has agreed to sell some items. One item she is not about to part with is her Majolica Frog which she bought at auction a few years ago, she loved him as soon as she saw him and was determined that he would go home with her. As it was there was little competition, with one dealer actually saying he was downright ugly! Admittedly the way he was precariously perched on a Melon didn’t do much to enhance his looks, nevertheless Janet was not put off and was drawn to the sad look in his eyes. No, she will be putting her frog on display, unfortunately John has to put up yet more cupboards to accomodate the rest of Janet’s collection, meanwhile she has promised to get down to selling some items on eBay
