Another perfect day weather-wise this week for the car boot sale on Sunday, which meant lots and lots of both sellers and buyers. There were so many sellers that I only really managed to get round about half of the field in just under an hour (my next-door neighbours had given me a lift so time was a tad limited.) Despite this, I managed to find a few useful things.
Six different T-shirts for my nephew, including this Dr Who one (although I'm not absolutely sure it might not originally have been a pyjama top) - £2.50 for all six.
A Jenga game for £1.00. Bought this with my nephew's visit in mind but it might be quite fun for P and I to play as well.
A knit-your-own sheep kit. I know this is primarily for children but I quite fancied knitting a couple of mini sheep for myself - £1.00.
And a DVD of 'The Ship That Rocked.' I've been wanting to see this film for ages so was really pleased to find a DVD of it for only £1.00.
I also came across somebody selling loads of interesting looking books that I hoped would be good for resale. I paid £3.00 in total for 10 books, listed two on Amazon straight away and sold one of those yesterday evening for £11.50 - result! Two of the others are now listed on Greenmetropolis and the others I'm going to check to see if they're any good for eBay.
Ooooh! Share the sheep if you make them. They look really cute. I buy kits for children all the time. That way I can try something out without investing in tons of tools and supplies. I already do too much of that! I really like the t-shirt/pyjama shown above. I hope they are all well received.

I wrote a nice comment and then lost the page before I did the captcha.
This is a very informative post. I had not heard of that movie or GreenMetropolis before. Will check both out.
Imagine what you could have found given another hour! I hope you get another chance.

That knit your own sheep cracks me up. What a cute idea.

It's a great flick--here in the US it was released as Pirate Radio. Terrific music, and Kenneth Branagh was especially funny in his role.
