Best Car Boot, Charity Shop and Jumble Sale Bargains - New Thread 4/10/09

today I was doing the rounds of the charity shops and in one I found a chrome holder with a bottle of soap and glory hand wash and a pump dispenser of hand cream for £2.00 You dont see much S & G in charity shops so I was really pleased; Then I went into an Oxfam shop and spotted a S & G vanity bag with all the products in for £3.00. It had body wash, body butter, a body scrub that smells gorgeous and exfoliating gloves. Quite a good haul, I thought.

On thursdays CB I picked up:

M&S Limited collection cardi £1
river Island blouse £1
M&S blouse 75p
Rolands Cartier, Clarks, and Topshop shoes, £5 for the 3 pairs

Our forecast looks bad for tomorrow so I'll have to wait until next Thursday for another one

This morning we got: 4 x Dr Who paperbacks for the eldest for 50p, 1 x Wedgewood plate in a sort of aquamarine colour to add to the collection £1, some paperbacks for my mum ranging from 10p - 50p each. Must have been raining very early as the car boot wasn't anywhere near as full as it has been the last few weeks and less people were out and about. Not a great haul, but we came away with more than last week! I agree, there has been a ton of tat about recently!

Yesterday my sister and I went to a local car boot sale.

I tried to only buy things that I will really use, either myself or for my vintage china hire business.

My haul was:

A Paragon teacup & saucer - £2
A quantity of vintage cutlery - £4
An enamel duck egg blue teapot - £1
2 x Eric Carle books including the Hungary Caterpillar - 40p

I've put some photos of the first three on my blog.

Weather wasn't supposed to be so great today, but actually it's not too bad.

Hope everyone is having a good weekend. I've started a diet yesterday in preparation for my holiday and all I can think about is FOOD!!!

That reminds me of one of my Mum's sayings about having "jumble sale elbows"!!
