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

Saffronsmum

I didn't get much this weekend, i went to the boot sale in hope to get some bubble wrap but the man that sells it wasn't there this week.

I managed to get a huge bag of children's clothes (all Next) including a coat for 3.50, so i have clothed my daughters for the winter.

Today I have stumbled across, on the second hand market, a single sized feather filled patchwork bedspread! To use the words of Goanmad, its vintage..lol. Been looking for one of these for ages and very pleased I got one even better than I could have imagined for three quid!

The poor guy selling the Urban Outfitters stuff hadn't sold anything until I came along and was thrilled with his £20!

It's such a weird little car boot sale because it's held in the week so it only tends to be old folks wandering about - shame for the sellers but fantastic for me, no competition whatsoever. :j

I am so jealous of the Urban Outfitters stuff (and everything else too)! Any idea why he was selling all that? It seems such a lot to sell for so little. Well done for you though

Last Saturday I was working in a town where I haven't looked at the charity shops for years, so i took time to have a hunt. Nothing much, except for a little jug in the shape of a billy-goats head - the spout is the mouth and the horns form the handle. No marks, but it is hard-paste porcelain, hand-painted and in good condition, and well worth £3!

My antiique dealer friend had a look at it last night, it's a cracker.. ("You can add that one to your pension scheme")

I read the previous thread in awe of Goanmad and her finds! Inspired I decided to "get me a bargain" and found a full length black wool/cashmere mix coat this morning in charity shop for £8. Perfect fit and nice and long, should keep me warm all winter.

I probably wouldn't have gone out and found it if it wasn't for this thread, thanks everyone:j
