Diss (and dat!)

Claire and I have a fledgling business, called Sourced and Salvaged (funnily enough, you may have guessed).  In our quest to find interesting items to resell or upcycle we often go to Diss  to the auction house (I fully recommend it).

I bought this beautiful stone 'plinth'.  It's difficult to see it but it depicts animals running.  It's beautiful and very heavy as it's made from stone.  I think it must have originally come from above a fireplace or doorway.  Anyway it's in my dining room now and I love it.  

They have a Friday auction every week but also specialist auctions on Saturdays.  We recently went to a Garden Artefacts and Statuary auction and bought quite a few things!  After, we went to Diss for something to eat and a mooch around the charity shops.  Old Diss is a pretty town on a small hill.  We happened by accident to come upon a lovely little group of shops in a small mews and a fabulous vegetarian restaurant that I fully recommend called Amandines.
