I might be flying off tomorrow but it would be rude not to share today's finds from the car boot sale and jumble sale.
The car boot was wet, cold and muddy this morning, other than the usual market traders flogging their wares there wasn't much in the way of interesting stalls but I did manage a couple of purchases.
Vernon Ward "Maternal Wing" 1960's framed Boots' print 50p. Already taking pride of place on the bedroom wall.
1960's Tyber simulated fur jacket because I can never pass up a fake fur coat especially when the seller only wanted 50p for it.
After a pit stop for lunch and the funniest Skype chat ever with my darlings Helga and Sarah in Sydney we joined the queue for the monthly Methodist jumble sale. No early entry today as it was for a different church group who don't offer previews. Not to worry though, the other jumblers are more into their mainstream clobber so no competition on the vintage front.
1950's hand-made and fully lined braided jacket
Linzi of London, 1970's black crimplene maxi dress
Vintage Jaeger polyester printed blouse
British-made vintage Caprice swimsuit in navy and white (cute but personally I prefer a tie-sided triangle bikini when I'm on the beach)
Old fashioned coat hangers and two huge pieces of crimplene
Gorgeous hardback cookery and lifestyle book (RRP £19.99)
Match Set by Lerose 1970's crimplene maxi skirt
From left: 1980's floral court shoes, burgundy velvet veiled hat, vintage lurex courts, 1960's raffia sun hat, 1950's Scottish mohair stole, leather backed vintage gloves, four psychedelic scarves (which I've already sneaked into my hand luggage), 1950's gold lurex fringed stole and a 1960's brocade evening bag with a chain strap.
Today's favourite find has to be this turquoise Chinese dragon kimono jacket
Top notch label, eh?
Total jumble sale expenditure today : £4.50

| Dress (handmade by me using a jumble sale curtain) I'm dashing off to sort out my roots, do battle with the Veet and concoct tea using all the leftovers in the fridge. Catch you tomorrow! I can't leave without wishing you a proper goodbye. **I'm truly honoured to be featured on my dear friend Sacramento's blog today, if you haven't visited her you will be blown away by her stylishness and beauty.** |
£4.50! Oh the envy. I am especially fond of the swimming costume - if it's going in the ebay shop and might fit me, I'll happily take it off your hands!
ReplyDeleteMuchly impressed with the loveliness of that orange frock too - you're so clever with all your March makes. It's making me want to crack out the sewing machine.
No indeed, you can't!!
ReplyDeleteI love that Fifties jacket. It's great when no one else is interested in the vintage bits.
See you before you go.

ReplyDelete£4.50?! I love the braided jacket and maxi skirt best of all. The problem with padded coathangers is that they take up extra space in the wardrobe....
