Vintage floral hand mirror - £1.
4 vintage embroidered table cloths - 50p each. I had competition for these by a rather abrupt lady next to me but i won the fabric snatching war lol.
Vintage house-dress - £1 :o)
And now for my favorite little weird and wonderful lot from yesterdays boot sale....
Vintage Avon perfume bottles - most of them full with the original fragrance (although this smell is not great lol). These were from a lady who had twin daughters and she used to buy two of each perfume for them, these have been in her loft for the last 35 years.
I would never have thought this little ornamental egg was a perfume bottle!
Freaky...slightly ;o)
So how much for 14 vintage (and slightly strange) perfume bottles?....£4 :o))
Now for the main event *wink*
Witnessed at a Boot Sale
Old lady pointing at a laptop on a stall: "Its all about the hardcore on the computers now isn't it, my son works with computers"
Stallholder laughs "Oh really, yes the Hard drive"
I wonder what her son has been up to on his home computer ;o)
A lady asking for her money back from the stallholder as she had showed her husband the 50p skirt she bought and he didn't like it...
Stall advertising "fill a bag of clothes for £2" Lady sorting through clothes was passed a tesco carrier bag "Can I fill my own bag?" on her shoulder being a massive plastic laundry bag. (Nice try sweetheart! lol).
And the boot sale non selling item of the week: A used hair brush with the previous owners black hair still wound its its manky bristles labelled up for £1 - eugh!
Happy Tuesday All.

Hi Scarlett I love that house dress... it wouldn't be confined to the house if it was mine! I can't believe you paid just one pound for it...
ReplyDeleteI love the wooden blocks too and the rest of your "booty haul" is pretty fab too, as always.
I'm always amused at the conversations you overhear/the incidents you see at the boot sales/markets-- am also grossed out by the idea of a used hairbrush!
ReplyDeleteLove the tablecloths - imagine getting rid of those! Then again, thank goodness folk do or there would be nothing for us to "salvage"!
