First post on this board, though I've been lurking for a while.

Pair of kids' Heelys, great condition, 50p

Inspired by a look through goanmad's blog last night I got up early this morning and dragged OH to the booty. Did the best haul I've done for a long time, probably because i was prepared to look properly and root through piles!

- vintage floral maxi skirt, 50p
- coral Topshop bib vest, £1
- floaty floral tiered Miss Selfridge blouse, BNWT £1
- floral cotton Miss Selfridge blouse (Cath Kidston style print), £1
- huge cashmere mix leopard print shawl in plum shades, £1
- silk mix 'Jovonna London' dress in black with elbow length sleeves, bib detail and cream silk ruffle along hem, £1.50
- white silk mix 'Jovonna London' dress with large ruffle neckline and lace detail, BNWT £1.50 (this one's a bit too frilly for me so I might put on ebay or I might see if my friend likes it)
- brown leather fornarina knee high boots, £1

- small wooden birdhouse, 30p
- wicker picnic hamper with plates, mugs & cutlery, £1.20 (going to re-line this in some vintage fabric and give it to my brother & his girlfriend for Christmas)
- wooden framed chalkboard with deep tray attached, £1 (I'm thinking herbs in little galvanized pots would look fab in the tray)
- dark wooden shelves in 'ladder' style, £3

Really chuffed I'll be putting pics on my blog later (see my homepage)

:T Good on you for turning around again! I agree, there was something funny in the air today.

When I bought my picnic basket it was from a stall with a 'make us an offer, everything must go' sign. It was labelled at £2 so I asked the chap if he'd take £1, so he turned and asked his wife. She screwed her face up, rolled her eyes and shouted 'no' very rudely, then proceeded to mumble that she wouldn't take less than £1.50 whilst walking away. I very naughtily pulled a shocked face at her husband (I wouldn't normally react, but her attitude stank!), rummaged in my purse and told him I only had £1.20 left so he whispered 'ok, it's yours' and grinned at me. He's going to get in so much trouble if she finds out :rotfl:
