Car Boot Finds

I had a lovely stroll around the car boot at Burgh Le Marsh this morning, a beautiful morning in a delightful little village renowned for its windmill.  I didn't take the camera with me so I don't have any pictures of the place but I have taken photos of my treasure.

First up a knitting/crochet pattern for shawls.  I loved it and thought this would be a nice make for my next project, something for myself.  A snip at 10p.

The next stall along I was lucky enough to purchase some lovely wool for £1, a real bargain I don't know what I will make with it yet but I loved the colours.
Next up 2 LPs at a mere 50p each to add to my collection.  I still have a record player which I use when I am in the craft room.  Old fashioned I know but I love it.
Finally a plaque for 50p which was a lovely addition to my craft room it makes me smile.
All in all a good haul, somebodies rubbish has become my treasure.  Back to reality and painting the garden fences.
 
See you soon.

  1. Lovely finds 'Mama', well done, and you know what they say, "different strokes for different folks"; "one man's meat is another man's poison" and so on. Your finds seem settled at your place already. xoJoy

  2. Wonderful treasures found, ma'am!

    I love you call them car "boots." I learned what that meant a while back when I bought my Mini Cooper. : - )

  5. Wow, that shawl is massive! It would be lovely to snuggle in when the weather is cooler though. I hope that the fence painting is going well. xx

  6. Excellent finds. I especially like the shawl patterns. I might have to shamelessly copy that idea. The Sound of Music is one of my favourite films ever. Every song's a winner in my book. Xx
