Today I went to my first carboot of the year and managed to get two in before 10am! I bought stacks of plates and teacups for the wedding I'm catering for next to nothing. Too many to take pics of now, they will be revealed at the wedding.
Heres some of my other treats. I'm very pleased with them. These items aren't much on their own but effective in context.
My mum found this little tea shop chalk board and picked it up for me. We thought it would come in handy for the tea party theme occasions we may come across in the future. Only £1!
These are part of my new tin collection. The big black box is a Victorian Deeds box which families would use store their important documents and money and lock it away in the house. A safe basically. I thought I would line it with fabric and make sections and use it as my new tool box.
This woman had a box of tins and I picked out what I thought was the best and these were only 20p each! My favourites are the clotted cream and the red dutch boy tin. I'm thinking of using these in the kitchen and the ones not suitable for food used as little herb planters.
Vintage Jacobs tin 50p. Not in the best condition in side. I think it may become a little tool box.
Glass jar part of a dresser set, 20p! Think it will be my new pin pot.
I'm assuming this Quality Street tin was made in 1996 as an 60th anniversary edition in this vintage style . Another potential crafty tin I think as its a bit rusty for sweets.
This is an embroidery piece done on natural linen. Its kinda hideous but beautiful due to the talent and time that went into it. That was someones hard work, bless! I think It could work in my studio, I do like the eclectic look. Plus its always good to have a frame!
I went to a friends the other week and she had a huge jar on her kitchen top with cereal in. I really loved the idea as cereal boxes and plastic tubs are dull. My mums friend found these huge jars and bought them, then she change her mind thinking it wouldn't suit her style. She thankfully sold them to me, £3 for 2!
Small orange retro style pendant light. Orange is not really in any colour scheme of mine so this wont be a permant fixture in the house. But I liked its style and the fact that is a plug-in so I can hang it as a low pendant celieng light or have it sit on a side table. It says M&S on the plug but I have no idea when, £2!
