• Slow week

  This week is going to be a bit slow business wise. I have a few English lessons and a 'therapy party' on Friday night but that's it. I've had a few really good weeks but when one works for oneself a slow week is a thing to fear. I have decided to use the time productively though and I am going to do a bit more leafleting for the therapy business, drop some cards into local shops that the immigrant population are likely to shop in for the English classes and start working on a package to approach corporate clients with. One thing for sure is that it's all down to you when you work for yourself.

  I've always been a bit of a collector of kitsch and recently a car boot sale has started up nearby and there is nothing more seductive than having a look through other people's junk! I've bought a few pieces and have shown them on my Facebook profile recently but I thought I'd put them on here too. Btw on Facebook I am Birmingham Bear (!) feel free to say hello there too.

  

  C'mon... if Jeff Koons had made him he'd be worth a fortune!!

  

  'Autumn Leaves' by J.H. Lynch - this print is actually worth a bit now, some some crap is worth keeping.

  

  Dallas Simpson is another collectable kitsch painter - though I have to say this one is a bit faded now.

  

  Hideous scary clown! I bought him for £2.70 and I reckon if I hide him in the attic for a while I'll make a profit.
