Do you mean Jaeger? If so thats a great find. xx

Yes it's Jaeger. You know, when I wrote that I knew it didn't look right, couldn't work out why :rotfl::rotfl::rotfl: I obviously hadn't had enough caffeine . It's odd as I used to walk past the Jaeger shop as a child and see all the well to do people in there and wondered if I'd ever be able to afford anything from there.... Well now I can

A few years ago I had my best 'giddy' morning at a car boot.
Went to one stall and saw an oil painting (sadly damaged) by Bernardo Hay for £2. Then turned on to the next row of cars and second one along picked up an ink work study by an Irish artist for £1.50 ... and this was late in the morning.
Got about £450 each for them.

Monsoon top (i looked at last year but refused to pay the £60ish price!) 50p
Cashmere and Angora Lilac Jumper... 50p
BN Betty Barclay Velvet Trousers.. 50p (sadly too small so may have to slim or ebay!)
Ralph Lauren Denim wrap skirt.. 50p

Pleased with yesterdays finds

There is a new charity shop in town, I was quite excited when it opened at the weekend, but in a bit of a rush, forgot they wouldn't have the card machine up and running yet, so settled with just a book on making and mending clothes for £1.50..There were a lot of other lovely things too, but I am saving it for another day..
In one of the others, I found a lovely mustard beret for £2, and a faux fur leopard print hat for £3, and a couple of strings of mustard / orange beads 50p each

Got a lovely mac from local charity shop, Dannimac made for Harrods, greeny grey, nice and long, lovely cut with removable linning, really posh!! for £1!!!! still can't believe it. It had a small mark on the front which came out easily on a 30 degree wash. Bargain.

2 pairs of Roland Cartier shoes and a David Jones shoulder bag.



Green shoes £5, sandals £6 and bag £3.

Got some lovely buttons today from Textile Garden to replace the boring ones on some recent bargains. And although not strictly a boot or chazza purchase I have just bought a sewing machine. I sold my old one to a friend and I really regretted it. I just can't manage without one! I want to hunt down vintage clothes with great fabric and remake them. I am buying dress patterns now from the US site Sewing Patterns as their prices are so cheap compared to UK, especially Vogue patts.

Your mac could be the same as the one I got (see previous photo) and £1 is an fantastic price! :T

SNAP!! I bought a sewing machine yesterday from Lidl £60 I have already got one but it is about 30 years old and very heavy! will keep it though as it is a 2 in one with an overlocker on the back.

I am a huge fan or charity shops & car boot.
I went to my first car boot sale this year and I loved it. Went back few times after since and now it's closed until next year. Think the best items I got were 3 pairs of brand new Camper shoes. The guy bought a box full of them in auction (or so he told me) and was selling £15 a pair. A couple of hrs later I went past his pitch again and he didn't sell any, so I bargained him down and got 3 pairs for £21! Sold them all on ebay for about £200 in total so I was chuffed! I should have bought more! Other good stuff I got from car boot sale/ chazza:
ipod nano (1st gen) in exc working cond £8 (bf keeping).
Topshop leather Bag £2
M&S Black Metal Rapid Boil Kettle in box £2
Diesel Mens fine-knitted jumper 20p
Topshop Star pattern Tulip Tube dress (seen on Misha Barton) £6
Laura by Toptop Frilly Top £2.50
All Saints Mens fine-knit Jumper £4.50
Patrick Cox Handbag £6
Diesel Cuddy Jeans £5
2 x Estee Lauder Face moisturizer £7

These are the ones that I can remember as I have kept them for myself. I have sold a lot of my finds on ebay too but it doesn't always make as money as i would think though!
