Car boot sale booty part 2

As promised this is the rest of my finds from yesterdays boot sale, still trying to find a space for them all so they are living on the dining room table at the moment, means I can admire them all each time I go to the kitchen :o)

I picked up this Royal Stafford tea set from one of the sellers on the top floor who was fed up with the rain:

I think they just wanted to clear their table and get home as I bought his lovely lot for the grand sum of £4!

Its such a fabulous floral design that it will fit right in with the rest of my tea sets, I'm now on the look out for a larger dresser for my dining room to store them all!

I then spied these two little bowls:

They are made by Palissy pottery which is a time old English pottery brand and are excellent quality, and I couldn't argue with £1 for the two bowls. They are going to make beautiful trinket dishes on my dressing table.

On the stall I purchased the book from in my previous post, I spied a little wicker basket just behind the table which was filled with fabric, I asked the stall holder if the contents were for sale as it looked like they had been put aside, she replied that she had a lady who comes each week to buy fabric from her but she hadn't turned up today so I could have a rummage. Well here's my finds:

 This is a large table cloth with matching napkins, vintage embroidery detailing.

 Fabulous duck egg blue vintage napkins which are so darling that I don't want to use them as napkins so am looking for a crafty project for them.

 A table runner which is so delicate and pretty.

This was found at the bottom of the basket - its a huge roll of vintage edging lace, it would have cost a fortune to buy in the haberdashery!

Then I spied this amazing piece of fabric with floral embroidery, its a large piece which will make an ideal cushion cover or even to be used to cover a seat back or stool top. A lot of work has gone into this piece so I was thrilled to be able to take it home. I'm now on the look out for a vintage style dressing table stool so I can recover the seat with this piece.

 

It needs a good iron so I appologise for the creases in the pictures.  SO the main question - what did this great bundle of fabrics cost me? Well i pushed the boat out and paid a whole £5.  For the amount if items in the bundle and the age of them I didnt think this was a bad price at all - plus the lace edging would have cost more than that to buy new! Im cheekily pleased the lady didnt turn up to buy the fabrics meaning I got to nab them!  I did say to the stall holder I will be back next week so hopefully she'll be favourable and let me have a peek at the goodies next time.

I also found 4 plates which again are very old and the yellow platter dates from the 1930's:

I also love the pale pink platters as I havent found many pale pink plates so these are going pride of place in the kitchen and will be used regularly. These 4 plates cost me £2.50 and were hidden in the bottom of a dirty cardboard box so it pays off to have a good rummage through the boxes!

The final purchase of the mamouth bootsale sunday was this pretty lidded jar made by Sadler England so another great quality item and a steal at £1:

So my hands were laden down with bags by the time I left the boot sale and I'm pleased I managed to get them all home in one piece!  So I've had two great boot sale sundays in a row, maybe next week will be with one where I do find anything....I doubt it :o)

Well done if you've read this far on this huge post! And more importantly HAPPY VALENTINES DAY!
