So ive been to at one of the posh villages this morning to a jumble sale and spent my whole budget for the month lol... these sort of jumbles are few and far between and when they opened the doors i was nearly barged to the ground in the rush by a gaggle of resellers determined to get what they wanted , i could have come home with so much more if i had shot a few of them. But im happy with my haul and i noticed the couple of loud resellers were getting really mouthy about some of the prices. Three trips to their laden car later, they were shooting off to another sale . so obviously the prices cant have been that bad . At that point as they drove away the old bloke running it shouted everythings now half price and we will take offers too now theyve gone. Had to laugh , but i have come away with a big bag of books lots of winter reading to be going on with , a 1970s Mrs Beaton and a few 50s kids books . a cardigan and a scarf by some posh make and i have managed to buy two big lush red vintage rugs you know the kind they dont sell on Wayfair but they do sell in antique auctions . Struggled to get them to the car and can now barely move , but i was determined , ive wanted some for years and could never afford them they will spend a week wrapped in plastic with tons of Permethrin powder ,apparently they came from the manor house !!
What a great haul!

DeleteYour blog took me back to the days when my nan would take me to the jumble sales, in those days there was one on most Saturdays . We also had to avoid “the dealers”.
