Saturdays jumble was in aid of a steam engineering enthusiasts club. There were plenty of males in the hall all having been roped in to man the stalls and all looking a bit bewildered over the barrage of women coming through the hall door all with determination in their eyes to get the best bargain (me included!)
The clothing stall was pretty poor, unless of course you want some Bonmarche elasticated skirts or last years Primark t-shirts. I only bought a couple of bits at the jumble which were:
More vintage ladybird books - 10p each.
....match my glass juice jug I bought a couple of months back at the charity shop!
As the clothing stall was a disappointment I did hit the bedding table for a rummage. There was an abundance of old duvets in bin bags but I did spot a bit of floral among the stained beige fabric:
Both these bedspreads are in pristine condition, I had actually bought the blue one before at a charity shop but this was given to a friend many months ago so thought I'd take advantage and buy these two, especially as they were 20p each. Bargain! All thanks to a bemused gentlemen who was asked to supervise the bedding table for 10 minutes.
I couldn't leave this vintage copy of Alice in Wonderland behind:
And it was cheap at 20p.
I also came away with a little bit of sparkle:
This vintage brooch was under a pile of plates on the bric-a-brac stall but Mrs Twin set wouldn't let it go for pence but I was more than happy to pay the £1 asking price.So my bags weren't as bulging as last weekends jumble sale but I think the regular jumblers have accepted me into their clan as I got a very friendly "good bye, see you next week" from queen jumbler who always manages to get the first spot in the queue, I feel honoured ;o)
Hope you have all had a fabulous weekend.
Scarlett
P.S I did buy some boot sale bits but they'll wait till next time x

Love the bird glass set! Well done you for joining the regular jumblers club!
ReplyDeleteI bet that stamp collecting book from the first image is rather a good read, I have all my dad's old stamps that he collected from his childhood so I have a bit of a geeky liking for stamps x
ReplyDeleteOMG! Score on those beautiful bird glasses and what a coincidence.. they were fated to be yours! I'm rather jealous of them myself!
ReplyDeleteAdore the vintage Alice in Wonderland book!
Can't wait to see what you got at the booty! xxx
I have this picture of all you ‘Jumblies’ charging through the door of the local hall as soon as it’s opened, in the style of the January sales! that brooch is like one MY gran used to wear in the fifties- bargain for £1.00. Will you wear it do you think?
ReplyDeleteoh this brooch is so beautiful, i already can imagine it on a fabulous frock or hat!!! and i love the alice in wonderland copy!!!
