My First Car Boot Sale.

This morning, I did the unthinkable and got up at 7am on a Sunday. That is not where this story ends, though it is remarkable. A few of my friends have been choosing to do this for a while, and each time they have gone they have found some fun things. Though, at this stage of my life it would make a lot more sense to sell things rather than buy them, I found a few things that I couldn't resist. For the first 30 minutes or so, all I could think was 'I cannot believe I am here before 8am' and 'I think I need to kill someone' as nothing was grabbing my attention. We kept walking around and then all of a sudden - I found something Christmas related so I started to feel better.

Meet my first purchase:

I saw the green one and thought it might do to bind some bunting together. Then I spotted the other two and the white one I will use for wrapping gifts and the red one, who knows. I got them all for £2 and they are pretty full rolls. To top it off, they are American. It all went downhill for my purse after this.

I then spotted these, hidden away behind a few things:

At first I saw them and walked away. Then I couldn't stop thinking about them so I grabbed my friends who helped me barter a little and as the lady wasn't that fussed about selling them as she intended to sell them at a vintage fair next week if I didn't buy them - I snapped them up! I will also be going to the vintage fair she told me about. I thought they were so cute. They're in perfect condition and I can imagine using them at future tea parties with scones or something. I love them. I've never loved knives before. Anyhoodle...

The next thing I stumbled upon was this little box of stamps. I actually spotted the little American flag heart one first, and thought after a wash they would be nice for making cards.

My final find were these two retro trays:

They're so bright and colourful...I'm sure they'll come in handy for something in the future and they only cost me £2.50. I am really happy with them! 

The best thing I saw on sale:

I love Yorkshire

All in all, I'm glad I went. If you're willing to search through some of the rubbish and things that you really wont use like the woman who walked past me clutching a giant stuffed tiger - 'cos every home needs a giant stuffed tiger, you can find some treasures as I feel I did. I think we can all agree it's probably better if I don't go again for a while as I don't need any encouragement to buy nice things for a rainy day plus I prefer sleeping. 

Although it was freezing/foggy this morning (I very almost put my mittens on) it has turned out to be a beautiful day

Now, it's nap time.
