    Lucky finds are not impossible and some people are just really good at spotting stuff.You wouldnt believe what folk are willing to discard.If someone can afford to buy too many chanel bags(OMG how I wish I was one of them:cool:) I can see why they wont mind giving some away.
    I would love to see a photo of the diane von furstenburg stuff,can you post please?I love her designs and really loved her wedding dresses but those are way out of my reach.

    By the way if anyone has a nice purple Hermes bag they are fed up with,maybe not your colour anymore or a tad last season for you,I would be very grateful to recieve it:D.Oh baby croc skin preferably.

  • We did a car boot sale today but had to take the kids with us this time (usually leave them with the in-laws). NEVER take kids - it completely put me off my stroke and all I found were children's items this week :rotfl:

    DH did find a 1970s three piece pin-stripe flared suit for £3 though - but it's rather on the large size.

    Better luck next week :rolleyes:

    It's great reading about all your finds though. Well done everyone. :T:T

    Theres no dollar sign on piece of mind

    So if you agree have a drink with me, raise your glasses for a toast :beer:

    I didn't get up early for the car boot sale this morning but instead spent the day sorting out my wardrobe & spare room and listed some bits on ebay so I can replace them with more wonderful purchases from tomorrows boot sales :)
