carboot sale fun!


I've been poorly for the whole of the easter school holidays
quite a lot of it i spent lying on the sofa holding on for dear life
i had viral labyrinthitis - it was horrible
but i'm 95% better now - yipee :0)


*******
to celebrate my return to health -
i persuaded my long suffering partner to take us off to a big carboot sale
we found some fantastic BARGAINS!!
we even left most of them there!


this was the first thing i bought - how cute?
long suffering partner said "ewwww -they saw you coming"


now for all you vintage button fans
you would've been in HEAVEN
unfortunately they were SUPER expensive
and due to my dizzy head it was
really hard work looking through

all FIVE HUGE tins of buttons


long suffering partner just shook his head and walked away taking smallest child with him!


i only bought a small handfull
but it was a case of quality over quantity
LOVE the terriers
and do you think that is Dopey from SnowWhite?
i'm still thinking about this stall now it was FANTASTIC!!!



these items came from a stall that was selling everything for 10p each!
i also bought a birdhouse and
a random unspecified plant,
the man said it had yellow flowers
and was tall that's all he could tell me!!


and these gorgeous vintage 1974 playmobile red indians
were too nice not to buy!
i'm pretty sure i had some like this when i was little
my son has spent ages playing with them


cute !

oh yeah and as i stepped out of the car i found a fiver on the floor!!

*******

what i left behind :
an old rocking horse £2.00
aluminium jelly moulds - mummy rabbit {i have a set of babies} a baby hare and a fish
AND
five HUGE tins of all vintage buttons!!!

*******
i also got really bad sunburn on the back of my neck from looking at all the goodies!
