booty

I think I could easily get addicted to indoor car boot sales. What a civilised idea- no standing around in a cold muddy field for a start, and it seems to be really difficult to buy anything for more than 50p!

I went to one last Saturday with a like-minded friend and bought a tiny 'present from Bognor' mug (50p)

..which is the brother to the splendid 'present from Southend' teacup I already have:

I think this one is really old- I can imagine a skilful Victorian Hoopla thrower winning it at a fair..

Also a delicate transparent teacup decorated with a lovely camp Chinese man (£1)

Probably even older- the lady on the stall said 1820's (and who am I to argue?)

a vintage pyrex casserole- my special weakness (50p)

and two little willow pattern cups and saucers (50p the lot) and a 1950's tablecloth ('Oh if you like it, Love, you can have it for nothing')!

Mr P, however is unimpressed. He thinks my friend and I should set up our own stall at the next sale and 'get rid of some of the junk we already have'! Actually we might do just that......?
