That's how you say where you've been Norfolk style. It was good booty today, which was a surprise.
The car boot is a strange thing. I pull up full of anticipation for what treasure I might find, I scan the first few rows of plastic tat, shoes and headless dolls and then realise with a sinking feeling that my bag is still empty. Just when I think there's nothing precious here for me today - I spot a goodie and from then on in little treasures hidden in boxes, under tables and just out of reach in the back of vans reveal themselves and I'm off.
These buttons were all neatly bagged up and ready, no sifting or sorting. For three bags at 50p a throw I felt very pleased.
I love these circus cards. I think I'll frame some of them up for the Bun's and keep the rest for me.
This is really a set of six cups and saucers. I love the simplicity of them. Oh and a yellow Ellie eggcup to match the blue one I got a while back.
Swallows or bluebirds? Haven't a clue, not so hot on my birds, but I know that I like them and I like them on this plate a lot. Heavens knows why the plastic earings came too, but that zingy orange just seemed perfectly at home with the blue of the birds when I was standing in a muddy field this morning.
Well they just had to come home with me. So excited to find another Rosa coffee pot. I sold my last one, made a profit, which is why I do it and then wished I hadn't as I loved it so. Now I have one again.
Now that enamel bowl is waiting for the primulas I bought and I still have a button to sew on a birthday cardigan, an apron and a dolly dress to make. Better get on. See you soon.

Oh my, such beautiful finds, I really can't say which I like the best. Love the vibrancy of the cards, they'll look amazing displayed and all the china is perfectly simple. But the buttons really caught my eye - especially those pretty flowers! Lucky you.
ReplyDeleteHave a lovely week.

Heh, if you said, "it was good booty today," around here (U.S.) you would be taken to mean something very, very different and raise a few eyebrows.
ReplyDeleteQuite some finds. The buttons would have grabbed at me, too.
Nice finds! Can't wait for the car boots to start up again in my neck of the woods.
