Don't hate me! There's loads of jumble sales held around the West Midlands and always have been. Every week from september onwards there's loads to choose from, daytime events, thursday and friday evenings and all day on a saturday. The only problem is deciding which ones to attend!
I've got two earmarked for tomorrow.
I think jumble sales must be a part of our Black Country tradition. We are by nature very thrify folk, there's also a market in nearly every town and literally hundreds of charity shops.

Love the shoes on your blog too, especially jealous of the black and pink pair. I have a serious shoe (and boots) addiction myself, just bought a pair of vintage Bally brogues in a CS today for £5 and a vintage purse frame tapestry bag for 50p

I think I can add pictures now too, but they just show up as a small box with a red cross :huh:

What site are you using to host your pictures nyc? I use Hotmail spaces but if I have my settings to "friends only" (so that only mates can see my space) it would not show my pics here. If I have my settings to "all" it shows my pics here.

Hope that makes sense

I'm using Flickr, I just changed my settings to 'anyone can view' and it still comes up with the red crossed box

I'm not sure in that case. Do you paste in the whole http address including the http? When you insert the image that part is already there. If you post your image address after that you might have two http parts

I do hope you can sort it as I'm dying for you to share your finds, Nyc! Bally are a great label - a timeless classic!

Photobucket's a good option if you're having trouble.

I have been copying in the whole address and deleting the http which is already there and it wont work for me. Goanmad i'll try photobucket as im dying to share too.

These are from a while back, but really pleased at just £7 for the two of them
They may not be to everyone's taste but I think they're brilliant!

Ok, so photobucket works. Thanks Goanmad! Only problem is... I have so many pictures I cant choose which ones to add. I have a feeling if I start I'll flood the pages with all my finds LOL.
