I fear last Sunday's car boot sale will have been the last one of the season for me. The weather has taken a distinct turn for the worse and is decidedly autumnal now, if not down-right wintery, with a very cold northerly wind and frequent heavy, squally showers.
As a swan song last Sunday's offerings weren't bad.
There was this jade-green T-shirt with a lovely embossed pattern on the front and a nice bit of applique detail to the side of the neckline. Sadly, this one is short-sleeved so will have to be put away until next spring.
The other T-shirt has three-quarter length sleeves
and a much more autumnal print on it. This one may see some service in the near future, if we lose the arctic winds. These were both 50p each.
For DN were a pair of long-sleeved pyjamas featuring a Sooby Doo logo on the front.
These should prove useful during the winter months, and were only 20p.
Farewell car boots for another year, they've been pretty fruitful this season and I shall continue to have withdrawal symptoms for the next few weeks. Next thing to look forward to are the Christmas Fairs at various churches and chapels. These seem to abound in this area during November and are great for picking up nice toiletries, vintage decorations, and all sorts of other tempting bits and bobs. Once Christmas and New Year are over I'll start looking forward to the spring and the start of another car boot season. Only five and a half months to go!!
Hi Elizabeth, sorry I haven't visited for a while, real life has just taken over for a while. Ever the optimist I'm hoping to squeeze in a few more boot sales this year, the weather forecast is good for the weekend so it'll be hard for me to stay away! But they have gone downhill, I'm seeing lots of the same people trying to sell the same stuff.Still it looks like you had some good finds, we just have to search a bit harder! I like the dolls you made, they're delightful.
Speak soon
