Thought it was about time that i did a post on some of my car boot finds... so I’ll start with some treasures that i picked up this week whilst staying at my parents house. I never knew that car boots ran during the week, how exciting! I managed to get to two, one on Tuesday and one on Thursday.
Don’t you just love seeing a car boot, i know i do, i can get a bit flappy at first as i get over-excited! Here’s a photo of the one i visited on Tuesday, this photo is taken from the lovely antiques shop at Barton Watermill.

What did i find... lets have a look in the basket (I got the basket from the boot sale too)!
Oooh, lots of goodies as you can see! I picked up these camping magazines to go in the vintage caravan. They are from 1961 and 1962 and have some great articles in. I love old magazines, they have so much character, I would love to know who has read these before me.
Some gorgeous old china of course, featuring some gorgeous roses. Oooh, afternoon tea is calling! Anyone for tea? Or perhaps some homemade lemonade?!
I also fell in love with this gorgeous blue plate with six matching tea plates, scrumptious! This will look gorgeous as a cake stand...
I will probably make this cute small cup and saucer into a candle, its sooo pretty. I’m sure you’ll see it up on the website shortly, although, i probably won’t want to part with it as it’s so nice.
I couldn’t resist this blue flowery tin for 20p, just thought it was quaint. And, as much as I love crockery, i also love enamel so when i spotted this spotty cup, i had to have it for 20p too! I think it will look fab in the vintage caravan!
This glass caught my eye too... at 50p, i thought i could treat myself to a ‘special’ drinking glass. I love the mix of the blue frost and the hand-painted flowers.
So there it is... this is why i LOVE car boots! I did buy some other bits n bobs too but dont want to bore you with photos of preserve spoons and vintage tea spoons!
Well... that’s all for today! Going to a car boot sale tomorrow of course, so will list my next lot of car boot treasures soon!
Also, for those that have asked about the vintage caravan, I will get round to writing about it... just haven't had chance yet. It has only just had its respray so I want to do some 'proper' photos for it to post on here. Look out for it in the next couple of weeks!
