I didn't bother with the boot sale yesterday as it was just too hot, but today is much better - sunny and warm but with a lovely refreshing breeze blowing. The boot sale was not as large as usual but I managed to find three different lots of Laura Ashley material.
Approx. one-and-a-half yards of upholstery material. It was still on the large cardboard roll when I bought it so I wasn't sure how much was there but it's a fair size piece for £2.00.
Another piece of approx. one-and-a-half-yards from a completely different seller - for which I only paid £1.00.
And a pair of curtains that I am pretty sure are Laura Ashley glazed cotton as my Mum has the same pattern on her bathroom curtains. I paid £3.00 for the curtains - they are in really nice condition and are lined too, although they do need a good iron. All the Laura Ashley material is destined for ebay later in the week.
Apart from a good haul of fabric, I also found another pair of jeans for me for £1.00. It's a bit of a relief to find another pair as I only had the jeans I bought the other week that I could wear now. From the same seller, and for 20p each, I also got a lovely pair of M&S loose linen trousers - very handy if this hot weather returns - and a pair of khaki combat trousers. So that's me sorted with trews for the rest of the summer.

Love all the fabric, especially the bottom two let me know if you want to sell direct, rather than ebay ;)

A man is not old as long as he is seeking something. A man is not old until regrets take the place of dreams.
