car boot buys
a cute little tin and for 20p who could resist, not sure
what to use it for yet but will soon find something to fill it
so had to have it, another snip at £1
. This is a very very pretty dish, Royal Worcester so a
real bargain at £1, I already have one in the poppy
design, they are now sitting side by side on a cabinet
Now I am feeling generous, they wanted £1 on the
cancer charity stall and I gave them £2, really wanted the
handles but now I want to try crazy quilting will save
the fabric too.
This was my useful buy,will use it for work in hand
only £2 and I put some of my clothes in it for coming
home and the fragiles went in the case.Wrapped it up
in a large plastic bag with tape and had one handle
sticking out to carry it by, worked a treat.
a small bundle of linen threads with a bit of string, no
doubt they will come in handy.
How could I have nearly forgotten this, a crazy quilt,
man selling it knew nothing about it but wanted £4
I came home and naughty girl put it in the washer and
it is now looking very sorry for itself. Think all I can
do is use bits when I do attempt my crazy quilt.
Unphotographed is a book, the encyclopedia of
embroidery techniques by Pauline Brown for £1
Think I had a very fruitful day and will go again if
and when I next get to Buckingham.

What nice finds!
Always good when you have come home with some lovely things and not braking the bank, well done you.
Love all your purchases Margaret, especially the china, congratulations. I have the book you've bought [I think], and find it extremely useful. I think I bought mine at a book throw out years ago. Lovely to see your bargains. Cheers.
Oooh, I do love a bargain and you have done well. I think I also have that book - I have so many now.
The royal worcester dish looks lovely.
Sounds like you had such a nice time! We don't have car boot sales here but lots of garage sales. I haven't been to one for a couple years but seeing your neat purchases certainly makes me want to go. I especially like the cat tin and tray. :)
Great find Margaret!wish we have sales like these here.I like the tin and tray....
