Bootsale Sunday again

What a day yesterday - started off horribly when I discovered some little ******* had ripped the windscreen wipers off of my car - they had broken off the arms and all. There was no parking outside the house so I had parked a bit down the road and that's what happens!  The air was definitely blue yesterday morning, the police took a statement but nothing they can do - great hey!

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!


And in the name of shabby chic - a little shelf with draw - 50p.  This is a definite project piece which is going to be sanded and painted within an inch of its life, also need to find a draw knob :o)

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:



I love love love it and its now pride of place on my dressing table - sorry the photos don't do it justice Kylie.

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!
