you bought an old statue of a lady clutching her robe, unsuccessfully, round her bosom, what would you actually do with it when you got home?
I paid eighteen quid for it. (I did knock seller down from twenty, so that's alright.
)
And, a tabletop chiminea? At 32 cms high it's too big to put on the table, and you couldn't have a little fire in it in the dining room - could you?
And then there's the garden gnome holding a notice in front of his cross looking self, saying,"GO AWAY". Why did I buy that? 
What happens to brains on holiday?
