Car Boot Treasure...And The Big Reveal

As is usual for a Saturday we went for a stroll around the car boot sale at Stickney, it was a little gloomy and predicting rain so we had very low expectations.  We were pleasantly surprised at the amount of stalls but a little disappointed at the quality of the goods on offer.  It was nice to have a stroll and always good to have a chat with Mum as we were going around.  We always get lucky with the vegetables and this week was no exception.

 

Leeks, green beans and a cauliflower for the grand total of £1, I was impressed.  I have chopped the leeks up and popped them into the freezer for soups/stews.

 

 

2 bunches of rhubarb for £1 a bunch all chopped, cooked and in the freezer ready for those Autumn days when only a pie or crumble will do.

 

 

I also got lucky with some great stamps, perfect timing for some.

 

 

I paid 50p per pack, there was an original price on one packet £5.25.  A bargain indeed.

 

 

I bought all the smaller packets at 10p per pack.  I am certainly going to have some fun using these.

 

I made a list for the Winter Link Up Party for things I wanted to achieve over the coming months and started to crochet a mermaid tail for my sweet Grandaughter.  It really did crochet up fast and much to my amazement I finished it in a couple of days.  They are visiting next weekend so I think that may have spurred me on a little.

 

Drum roll please...Are you ready for the big reveal?

 

 

I can't wait to see what she looks like in it.  It certainly was a lot easier than I anticipated. 

 

See you soon.
