Not a bad haul, Monkey!
Bit of a rubbish and wet August meant hardly any boot sales so I'm making up for it now. We're quite lucky 'cos the car boot season round South Staffs often goes on until mid-November. Yipee!

yeah,I think people are making the most of the decent weather as the one I went to was busier than usual too.

Went to a bootsale yesterday and only came back with 2 items

I got a BNWT 'Bulaggi' dark grey wool handbag with black leather handles and a removable strap for £3 - sounds kind of horrible but is actually really nice!

Also, a nice lady gave me a BN (from what I can tell) pewter and black sequinned union jack purse (Primark) for free as she was packing up!

Heavy rain from Saturday AM onwards, so the bootsales were literally washed out... and that meant a CS morning instead. A good one, though -

2 good watercolours (1930's?) in quality frames - £1 each
a turned and hand-carved wooden bowl - £2
a 1950s shell cameo brooch in a gold-plated setting - £2.50
a dainty 1950s lady's cocktail watch (working) - £5
and the star buy, a bag full of dress patterns from 1950s to 1970s, all in my size - £1. There are about 20, some never opened ... I'd better dig out the Liberty material, or the tweed, I got at CS a while back and try to remember how to sew...!
