I've had a mixed bag of finds this weekend. The above photo probably sums it up quite well - the first of the Millenium Trilogy books by Steig Larsson and a new pair of washing-up gloves, both 30p, both from the same car boot seller.
The usual selection of toiletries - probably got nearly enough to see me through the car-boot-sale-less winter season now but I'm pretty much unable to resist a nice shower gel or soap when they're uber cheap. The Boots shower gel was 25p (I think) and the small Johnsons Baby Shampoo was 50p - P uses this shampoo daily so that was a useful find for him.
Two boxed sample sized Lancome Genifique Youth-Activating Concentrate - 30p each - much as I could probably do to make use of this myself, I've listed them on eBay. And two travel-size Burt's Bees items - one shampoo bar and one shower soap - 10p for the two. They've both been listed on eBay already too. Also found, and already listed, was a beautiful size 28 Ann Harvey top for £1.50. Pity it's too big for me as it's a lovely top but, hopefully, it'll fetch a good price on eBay.
Then this morning at the 'Coffee and Jumble' in the local church hall (yay, glad it's back up and running again after a six-week summer break,) I found these beautiful old costume dolls. They're quite large, approx. 18 inches tall, and beautifully dressed. They were £1.00 each and I'm hoping they'll sell well on eBay eventually.
I've linked this post to Apron Thrift Girl's 'Thrift Share Monday.' Pop over and see the amazing thrifted find ATG had this weekend.
The dolls are just lovely and they do look valuable. I love the idea of Coffee & Jumble. It's perfect.

I collected dolls such as you found when I was quite young, so they do date back to the 60s at least. Mine have gone on to other family members but always make me smile when I seethem. Listing them on an auction should do well and make someone else's day too.
