Car Booty!

4/4/2011

Arrrr, my favourit time of year has rolled back around again. Car booting season is upon us again, hooray!

Here are a few of our latest finds...

2 more vintage buckets to add to my collection, and find of finds a set of vintage brass door knobs! Just need to find 3 more sets for the doors now, although I don't think I will find a better price than the 50p I paid for these ones!

I am so in love with the oak plant stand, it looks very 20s and just fits perfectly in our little hall way. It cost us £20 (down from £25) which is a little more than I normal spend but I have wanted one for ages!

A cool set of vintage steel Hamiltons paper shears, alway useful. I couldn't resist for only £3.50!

Who could resist a box of fossils! Well not me... these actually came for Rolfeys last week, a little early b.day present from Rich!

What a lucky girl I am at the moment...of course all this good luck does meant I probably wont find anything for weeks now, but thats the thrill of the hunt!

What is car booting, I wonder? Garage saling? Flea marketing? Something like that, no doubt. I like your 'new' buckets. Just bought some little ones like that for my girls, but not vintage, of course.

Hi Sylvanna

Car Boot Sales, they seem to be an exclusively UK thing. Basically everyone loads their cars up with any old junk they want to get rid of and drive to a designated site (usually a car park or a field) open up the backs of their cars and get flogging. Not as formal as a Flea Market (usually much cheaper!), Garage sales don't seem to be something that happens here much, mostly because not many people have garages or front lawns to lay stuff out on I guess!?

Glad you like the buckets, I'm totally addicted to them!
