But I still made sure I got to the boot sale :o) It wasn't as busy as usual, not sure if the Easter school holidays are the cause but it was a lot less chaotic. So here's my finds:
Pink Meakin Glamour Rosa Jug - 20p!
Vintage Martini fabric table/bar mats - 50p
Beautiful vintage cushion cover - 50p
1950s 'Skyline' Whisk - wanted a vintage hand whisk for a while now so pleased to get this one for 20p! Moulinex Mouli-Herb chopper in orginal box - 30p :o)
Leather granny purse with wrist strap - 50p
Vintage vanity case - 50p
More Pirate bunting for the little mans birthday party - 50p
Sweet little espresso set on its own stand - love these although I don't drink coffee so these are just there to look pretty - £1.50.
Men's 1970's shirts - all for a punt on Ebay - £1 each.
Kitsch big-eyed Deer - 50p from a very sweet little old lady, been wanting one like this for ages too - result!
I also need to say a HUGE thank you to Kylie Lucy violet vintage who sent me this beautiful ballerina hair brush which I loved so much on her blog:
Now for this weeks installment of
Witnessed at a Bootsale
Lady in front of me talking to her friend : "I don't know why those foreign people think they have to knock the price down when they know they are getting a bargain"
Friend: "I know its so cheeky"
They stop at the next stall
Lady "How much for the skirt Love?"
Stallholder : "£2 its silk"
Lady: "oh no I'll give you £1"....
Stallholder: "Freshly baked cupcakes £1 each"
Customer: "Were you up baking them this morning?"
Stallholder: "No I made them yesterday morning"
I also saw a young guy sorting through a pile of clothes on a lady's stall, he then grabbed a bin bag and tipped the contents out to have a look and a huge pile of tiny thongs and bras went flying out on top of the pile of clothes. Both the stallholder and the young man looked embarrassed. I was just thinking who on earth wants to buy this lady's old thongs - eugh! (Maybe the fetish market is big on the bootsale scene lol).
Thats all for the boot sale booty!

Firstly Scarlett I am so sorry about what that/those little ...... did to your car and I know exactly where you'd like to stick your windscreen wiper if you ever found the culprit!

ReplyDeleteI nearly squealed with mad excitement when I saw your skyline egg whisk - sooooo much nicer than my "rusty old thing" (Mr J and P's words not mine) and for 20p. Score and a half. I'm also lusting after your vanity case and for 50p too! I'm definitely suffering from Bootsale envy. Bah!

Jem xXx
I love your bootsale stories and look forward to them each week, they are always guaranteed to make me laugh, Thanks xxx
ReplyDeleteWhere do I start? I adore the little jug and cups and saucers, so cute in pastel! The vanity case is amazing, always wanted one as an adult, had one in red as a child but don't know what happened to it :(
ReplyDeleteGreat bunting, the party is going to be amazing!
Bee happy x

EEeekk I love the Martini fabric!!!
ReplyDeleteCan't believe someone ripped the windscreen wipers off your car I'm not surprised you were angry!
Victoria xxx
I adore the boot sale stories! You found some awesome items again Scarlett! I do love that little deer! So sweet and the vanity case, awesome.
ReplyDeleteSo sorry for the damage on your car. GRRRRRR...makes me so angry at random vandalism!
I love your 'overheard' stories!!
ReplyDeleteSorry to hear about your car. Here's hoping some kind of karma catches up with them.
I adore ALL of your finds this week. Every single one. I'd have bought them all if I'd have been lucky enough to see them.
Thanks for liking up x
Looks like you found some lovely items!! I enjoy tuning-in for your bootsale stories!
ReplyDeleteI'm so sorry about the little beasts duffing up your poor car - what a pointless thing to do. I'm glad you didn't let it spoil your day, and as usual you've got amazing bargains and hilarious eavesdroppings (!) - I can just picture the embarrassing underwear incident! xxx
ReplyDeleteOoh, that cushion cover is lovely! I really think you should start a book with the 'Overheard at a boot sale' theme.
ReplyDeleteI like most of your things as usual but don't like the cushion cover at all for some reason which is odd as I do like the colours.
ReplyDeleteYou should get a publisher for those overheard at snippets. My stuff can be found in the usual place at http://gigglingatitall.blogspot.com
some lovely finds, I especially love the little pink jug and the suitcase :)
ReplyDeleteHahaha it's so gross when you see people selling their old used cacks at boot sales!
ReplyDeleteI absolutely love that Ballerina Mirror.. fancy sending it on to me now :p Just kidding!
I'm definitely loving the Meakin Glamour Rosa Jug and that darling little Bambi!
Brilliant find yet again! xxx
Sorry to read about your wipers - someone did that to my beloved Beetle years ago and I wanted to tear their arms off I was so livid!!
ReplyDeleteYou've done well again with all your finds. I love the little jug and the suitcase, and my Mum used to have a purse just like that in the 70s!
Where do I start, as usual I love it all. Items of note are the vanity, my sis and I used to have matching ones for going to stay at our nan's in the 80s, the little deer is too cute and should be best friends with my burlesque bunny girl, martini material and bunting are fab as is the mirror. Can't wait to see what you do with the little unit, happy knobbing! :)
ReplyDeleteWow so many great finds and such bargains to you lucky lady. Love the jug, suitcase and the little shelf and love the little hair brush so very sweet just imagine who first had it ;-) that's the beauty of vintage is the history that comes with it. I was so sorry to hear about your car there are some right little buggers out there hope it wont be to expensive for you. enjoy your week, dee x
ReplyDeletehear that sound? it's my teeth gnashing in envy! I adore all your finds, the cups are just darling, and the hairbrush is a dream, but the whisk....I've been meaning to get one for ages, i hear ebay calling....
ReplyDeleteLol at ChrisTea's 'Happy knobbing' (am such a child). Love the martini mats, jug and vanity, and I'm guessing the shelf will be getting some sort of shabby chic makeover? ;-)
ReplyDeleteAnd oi, I think that IS my Granny's purse!
Sorry about your car, what a pain in the bum. Am sending retribution karma their way x
Excellent scores amor!
ReplyDeleteI want the vanity case, vanity mirror and those cute coffe mugs.
cute martini mats. I shall look for some now.
you always manage to find the cutest junk.
sorry about your wipers hun.
Loving your bootsale finds :) great bargains!
ReplyDeleteLucky lady xx
Aah more great stuff! Loving the shelf, you'll have to take more pics when its done! :)
ReplyDeleteI want everything ohhh I love that vanity case! Why would someone do that to your car????
ReplyDeleteCarol
Ha!! Those conversations crack me up! :) I love love love that little deer you found! My Grammy had one just like it..awww...good memories! :) Your new hairbrush is adorable too! I'm thinking of trying to collect vintage hand-mirrors and do some kind of vignette on my bathroom wall. Great finds...thanks for sharing!
ReplyDeleteSarah
Well you found some great stuffs as you always do *winks* But that mirror is soo sweet! That was so kind of your friend! Vanna
ReplyDeleteJust catching up on blog reading.....bit late...
ReplyDeleteI'm sorry about the windscreen wipers..that sucks! We had our car kicked and dented by kids in the street when we lived in London - little blighters. They were jumping on the bonnet. So I know how you feel. Not good.
And then, that little Bambi is making me sigh with pleasure - I'm also on the lookout for one (or two or three.....) - great find! As is the hand whisk. My Mum had one when I was a kid and that's what we used for whisking everything from scrambled eggs to meringue to whipped cream for the Sunday scones - and I have seen them in vintage shops but sooooo expensive it's silly.
Lovely lovely haul.
