...the beginning of spring is bringing back car boot sales to my part of the world- & i am one happy sunday morning camper due to it!...
...yesterday morning was the beginning of sunday junking for me...& my kids...the lovely husband just enjoys the 'finds' & perhaps the moments of sunday morning quiet...
...off to a little village to drink tea & early morning cake in a lovely old hall...alas nothing... but it did give us a gorgeous drive in the countryside before anyone else was up...& that in itself is pretty special...
...off to the outskirts of our little town & i knew there would be something that needed to come home with us as i got talking to one of the old boot car stall holders...he had a mirror for £3 that had my name all over it..
...i'm thinking it would look amazing with big white candles sitting on it on our dinning table on a summers night..
...what do you think?...
...then sitting in a box with a zillion other teacups & saucers were these stunners...
...i can never say no to anything blue, green, white or quirky...these covered green & quirky...
...there was only 5 pieces of what would have been a lovely teaset but i'll throw them together with other odd pieces...for £2 it would have been wrong not to take them!
...then we heard 'whispers' of a 'well big' boot sale at the top o' the motorway...
...this always makes me giggle as it's said in such a way that you don't dare even ask for directions!
...so i found what i now realise is referred to as the top o' the motorway...
& my happy happy find..a big serving plate...
...blue & white..& perfect...
...this of course led me to the set of 6 silver spoons for £1...
the little glass sugar & mild set for £2
...& the little silver frame for 50 pence...
happy days!
...the last £1 i just had to find something a little special...
...for the husband- two little metal trucks at 50 pence a pop...
...would you not have had a happy boot sale morning with this haul?
...off to give another coat to that french outdoor table i swapped for strings of lovely bunting...
...can't wait to show you how it looks...
...happy monday to you all...
...ohhh & i almost forgot the best thing about countryside car boot sales- the local produce that sneaks in...
...how good is this big ol' brown bag of local spuds...for a whole £1.75...
...as i said...happy happy days...
