Toddled off to the little posh jumble on my own , only managed one sack full for the grand total of £6 , managed to sort 3 bits for myself all new with tags , a good quality new leather satchel that im sure one of them will flog on vinted and a couple of t shirts for sarcastic son that he didnt like the feel of , so more car boot stock from the pile that didnt fit ..lol
Sunday it was carboot visiting with the whole tribe in tow , good job really because himself is quite useful as a glorified shopping trolley , a couple of brand new curver bins , a new pair of Clarks ankle boots , shrink wrapped socks for the winter , some posh make ..lol, even a craft kit to do on the camping trip, the dearest item was £2 .
Then i had to do my auction pick up , there was a pair of Dunelm curtains that i have lusted after for a while so i got that lot , came with other curtains and a giant damask table cloth and once again you may as well buy a £1 lot because youve got to pick up anyway..lol well i keep telling myself that ! I did okay with the 4 boxes that came as the £1 lot , theyre always badly photographed which is why nobody wants them , pair of unused Edinburgh crystals champagne flutes , plus a marked crystal fruit bowl and another posh vase from a Turkish company, loads of little dip bowls , a box of studio pottery , all manner of strange items , even a huge set of windchimes , stack of boiling bowls , mason cash pie dishes all it said on this lot was household goods . Dont laugh the Dunelm tartan curtains were immaculate but huge , Patio door sized in fact....guess who doesnt have a patio door ?
Sounds like a good haul, the curtains comment made me laugh but they can always be cut down.
ReplyDeletetheyre going in the are we moving are we not moving pile ..lol
DeleteJust a quick visit to say how much I enjoy reading about your trips to the car boots and auctions etc I had a good laugh about the hedgehogs in the last post, and I also keep water "troughs" of various sizes around the garden and by the tree at the front of the house. I've been able to keep part of the garden watered - we have no hose pipe ban but I only used the hose for the blackberries and raspberries, but it meant that the edges of the garden stayed damp and sheltered. Its a gentle rain here today - thank goodness, sick of the heat - so looking forward to winter. Elaine
