Hi Taffyscot,we are in East Ayrshire.We have gone to the ayr racecourse boot sale in the past,I love that one,its massive.We sometimes come across a local one,one off charity or fundraising ones, by accident when we are out at the weekend too but there dont seem to have been any for ages.We are withing easy travelling to Glasgow and would even go as far as loch lomond/trossachs area for a good car boot sale so I think I will search for some outside of the area.
There used to be car boots on at the Rugby Club in Kilmarnock but have not seen any advertising for that one this year.I sold stuff at that a few years ago and did okay but it was a small boot sale and not very busy,more traders than customers.
Oh theres also one in Troon which is a regular indoor one but I have never been.

Hi The one in Troon is ok but it is only once a month. We went last week and it was nearly all traders I hate those kinds. I want ones where they are just getting rid of stuff so I can buy the crap instead lol. we live in Largs but go regularly to the Ayr one. This Sunday there is also an indoor carboot at the Citadel sports arena in Ayr. I love the charity shops in Ayr they are my fav because they are still reasonable for the most part.
Went to the carboot in the rugby club some time ago but like you said it does not seem to be running any more. If you hear of any in the area pm me will you. Ta

My thoughts exactly! My BF is always accusing me of being a witch. Better get them listed over the weekend so someone can buy them and say "Oh yes, I've been a fan of his for years". Sad news, but not altogether surprising...................................

I did a search for the signature which is j.philippe,and I wasn,t even sure the h and l were h and l at first as they are just squiggles.I found some info on jean-phillipe dallaire and some images of paintings,the signature matches this one so I hope it is one of his.
I will try change my avater for a day to show the painting,quicker than uploading to photobucket then here.
It could be a print I suppose but you cans ee the texture of the paper and I have not taken it out of the frame as its sealed with brown artists tape and all old and a bit cracked,I would have to cut it open to see the reverse of the picture.That makes me think its about 60 years old(40,s or 50,s) which would fit with this artist.
I am no expert,far from it,I just buy stuff I like and very often it turns out it is worth quite a bit more than I paid.Fingers crossed,but I will let you know what the auctoneer says,even if they say its a copy,a different artist or a pile of old tat worth no more than the £3 I paid for it.

How exciting! I love these kind of stories- really hope it turns out to be something amazing! And I guess even if not, you won't have lost anything.

Even if it is a print, it sounds by the age that it would probably be a artist-released litho or something, and these can still be worth a (much smaller) fortune- I had a signed Matisse print on my bedroom wall at college (sounds bizarre, I know, but it came with the room!), which was apparently worth rather a tidy sum. Definitely keep us posted

I bought a very gorgeous vintage beaded bag for £3 today
There is a bootsale about 30 mins from me tomorrow which starts at 8am. Not sure whether to go or not as it would mean leaving the house at 7am at the latest. Hmmmm, will think about it
