car boot
On Sunday I went to our local car boot sale. Never have gone looking before although I have tried to sell once without much luck (think I made the grand total of a tenner!). I think 'car booting' must take skill as I was finding it difficult to find anything, however at the last moment I spotted a very dirty cake stand with a ticket saying £4! What a bargain and it's really very pretty now it's all cleaned up! Feel encouraged to go back as so many of the blogs I read find some lovely treasures. Think I might have to go further afield to find the vintage eiderdowns!

That is so pretty!
ReplyDeleteCar boots are fun, but I'm so lazy at the weekend, I hardly ever get anything good, never there in good time!

It's on my list this year ... I'm determind to go to car boot sales. I'm the same as you - I tried it once and was so unprepared that I didn't price anything, and got mobbed in the car LOL. But now seeing your lovely cake stand I think it's time to visit them soon.
ReplyDeleteAlmost as good as the one Allan 'haggled' down for me...haha...I am definitely going to be going to more this year and having a rake thru the charity shops more often...just need to find a loevly dresser to display it all on...It's lovely...xx
ReplyDeleteAll you need now are some cucumber sandwiches and fairy cakes to go on your pretty cakestand, :ucey xx

ReplyDeleteThank you so much for your comment on my blog, what a lovely word to use ('empowered')! I'm glad I helped you feel a little better about your situation. Looking at your blog you have a lovely home and a lot to be thankful for :) Bibs x
Wow, it is lovely. What a bargain, it is so delicate and beautiful.
ReplyDeleteGlad you got the mag. I am sure Prima was once quite grannyish in a bad way, so it was nice to see such prettiness there.
Ta´ta for now,
