Does anyone in the North West know about any flea markets/car boots/jumble sales etc that are easily do-able from the Warrington area? I am starting to exhaust my local charity shops.:rotfl:

There's a good car boot in Chelford every sunday.Aslong as you can get past the obnoxious guy who owns it! He really is rude but luckily I've never been on the receiving end of his temper.The carboot itself is the best I've been to for buying and selling.

Thanks Vintagepleasure! I have no idea where Chelford is (not orginally from this part of the country) but I am off to google it and then to try and persuade the husband to drive me there.

I've fallen in love with this:

But since I'd like one in a gazillion colours I'd like to be able to make them myself, does anyone know how?

Yay!

I've been allowed to bid on a sideboard that's crying out for a makeover. It'll be my first project. I'll post pictures if I win!

Have won two tablecloths on ebay tonight. I hope they are as good as their pictures suggest.
