Car boot sale

Today we had the coldest morning since last winter, it was so cold I regretted not taking my gloves. We still braved it to a car boot sale, it turned out to be a great decision as we came back with a decent amount of goodies.

A mid century tile to serve as a place mat for hot dishes and a great orange coffee pot. I thought it looked good next to my geranium plant and vintage apple ice bucket but it ended up on the staircase window of which more soon, this space is getting a face lift. Price £5 for both.

This beautiful Deco lamp shade will go perfectly in our home, either in the entry hall or in our living room, still haven’t decided, £10.

Two vintage serving bowls, just the look I was after, not the greatest of conditions but at 40p for both I won’t complain. They will look great with the silver plated serving spoons I got last time, especially when used on a balmy evening in the garden…next year.

A massive addition to our Ladybird book collection at £1 a pop, we got 10 books from 1960s.

Lots more to share: good reads, knitting, a classic pie and a tea party. Stay tuned. I also quit my job and went freelance, first project starts tomorrow, first week without my baby boy, scary and exciting.
