More booty for your buck

So as promised here is the rest of my mammoth weekend booty haul (yes haul not call lol)... I did pick up several bag loads of "posh" clothes to ebay but I wont bore you all with those.

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.

A whole load of pink kitchen bits. There is a pink kitchen roll holder and 8 mugs in the this lot but 4 mugs were bathing in the sink and the kitchen roll holder was put straight to work.  I only wanted to buy the pink whistling kettle as think its awesome but was then sweet talked in taking the whole lot - for £5 I couldn't really say no. Now who wants to buy me the Aga to use my kettle on?


Vintage house-dress  - £1 :o)


Old-school childrens blocks, bought from a lovely old lady who was selling her children's items - her youngest now being 40! haha.  Only £1 for the whole box.  The nice ones going to my son and the plain ones I'm going to get crafty with :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.

 Being a child in the 80s my whole bedroom was decorated with Pierrot Clown! 

 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.
