Well one giant one in particular, people even travel down from London for this one. I do hate getting up early on a Sunday morning, but the booty call (tee) is too strong sometimes.
There was a lady who had bought the entire stock of a shop that had gone bust (blumin' credit crunch) and was selling it all at a tenth of the price - I couldn't believe my luck. So much lovely, brand new, crocheted items.
A mushroom stool for the youngest.....(how cool is this)
Bunting! Yay! £2 for 2 packets! It's so pretty!
A sweet Happy Birthday banner - £1 - so I bought 2 (tee hee)
Pom-poms!
Baby Hat, although I wish I had one! (the hat, not another baby)
This white, vintage table cloth was a bargain too! Now - I bought this 'piece' below thinking it was a flower shaped rug - however, on inspection it roches in the middle as though it's supposed to be draped over something....any ideas???
A telephone with a little bell inside. This is a Christmas present for a special little girl, yes I am doing that already - aren't you?
Then a few additional bits & bobs. These adorable paper dolls went down a hit! My daughters love seeing what Mummy comes home with - as opposed to husband. I always feel less guilty about leaving them if I return with booty goodies.
They were only 50p each and the girls played so happily in the sunshine with them. Money well spent.
This Maze Board game is for eldest DD. We have a Wii Fit and all that jazz, but you still can't beat a good old fashioned board game.
A vintage, puncture repair kit - I know, but it was 10p but I figured the girls will be out on their bikes soon and we would at some stage need it.
Buttons - I always need buttons, especially when they are
Exclusive.
A vinatge, blue rose, piny (20p!!! and it's prettier than in pic) and a sweet, cotton dress for youngest (if I leave it on the line do you think the creases will just drop out?)
I love vintage playing cards and the girls do too, can't wait to see how this one plays?
There was more! But, one other item, the best really - is a project which I will reveal at a later date when finished. I have been making lots of things recently and can't wait to show them to you!
Hope you are happy ladies today?

Ps Yes, like you I am already buying Christmas presents.
Hello Fleur,
ReplyDeleteWhat a great haul you have there. I love all the crocheted things, that toadstool especially. What is it about toadstools that they are so appealing? Love your playing cards too. Looking forward to seeing what the mystery item is!

ReplyDeleteOh Fleur I am so so jealous of the lovely buys from the lady who bought up a shop! What great finds and for great prices..... does she sell any of it online on ebay do you know! She could make a fortune.
