    Yeah, I think lots of people got good bits at my local car boot as it seemed to have more sellers than buyers.
    I love this thread so much :D

    Only a very small haul from the vintage fair on Saturday, although it was brilliant to see so many genuine vintage pieces - each stall had a little slice of history on it. Really interesting to see!

    Long brass owl necklace (£1)
    Gold plated chain necklace with peach ribbon threaded through (£2)
    Dad's Army annual from 1989 (£2) (for OH)
