One man's trash....
Here are my latest finds from the Car boot sale that I visited in Norfolk...
An old tin full of vintage buttons, that I can use on my handmade bags....
A diamante necklace, two vintage brooches, some hand crochet lace edging and some small blue glass buttons...
An original oil painting in a pretty oval frame, two framed prints of nostalgic garden scenes and a foil picture of a crinoline lady...
A small Cornishware pudding bowl and a vintage toffee tin...Oh, the memories I have of these...
A sweet little wooden cupboard with mirrored door and it's original key and a hand crocheted 1940's snood.....
An enamelware colander to add to the collection in my kitchen- I also bought some other enamelware for use as garden planters- all for just 50p each!
I now have several projects to be getting on with...just need someone to invent the 36 hour day!!

ReplyDeleteHow fabulous Niki! I am frightfully envious of that snood!
ReplyDeleteI love all your finds, especially the vintage brooches, lace and buttons and I'm sure you are making a tresure out of that little cupboard!
ReplyDeleteI am intrigued by the oval landscape; what an unusual shape, and it looks well painted too. Good haul all round!
ReplyDeleteLong live bootsales I say! Good finds Niki :-)
ReplyDeleteTin of vintage buttons looks good. Must get off to some car boot sales!

Now that original oil in the oval frame would look good in my house! I so much loved Somerset when I visited in 1977 when I was a teenager.Really miss the old English antiques.Lovely finds!!!
