Car Boot Booty:

i went to a car boot sale with my brother and my future sister-in-law [aw!] this morning and had a wander around and bought stuff, it was the 'Batleys' one at Chester-Le-Street for anyone whos local!

heres my car boot haul from earlier today:

four books for a pound! a book about 'evil cults' - amazing, a seamus heaney poetry book, a william shakespeare booky, and 'Wordsworh's Verse'. nice.

a silver coloured pocket watch and a lovely paisley brooch:

here is the pocket watch, its really modern but in a vintage style. i like it:

and the brooch, i LOVE paisley and i just think it looks so indian with the gold and purple! :)

a miniature frame, how cute:

here is my mini beauty haul, lol. not bad for £1!

candy orange, YUM

 a duck and a chicken, these will be made into rings i think!

theyre small, and so cute!  

Total Spend: £5.50

well, i do love a car booty, and i think ive done pretty well for only £5.50! i love all the things ive bought. have you bought anything great from a car boot sale/vintage fair etc recently?

"ich liebe das car booten" LOL.

little trinkets.

hello.

 

i was gona do a blog post AGES ago about my wee collection of little trinket/pill boxes, but didnt. then i mentioned it to Anna [via twitter] and she said she would like to see my collection so far. so here it is:

 

 

i got most of these from car boot sales/antiques fairs for like 50p-£2 each!

 

 

the two below are my favourites, the little dinky one in particular i just LOVE!

 

 

 

the 2 below are a bit different from the rest of the collection, as theyre ceramic/porcelain. i got them at different boot sales/antiques fairs at totally different times, which is WEIRD! i just think theyre really cute [i love polka dots]

 

 

i also have this metal box, which is pretty big in comparison to the others in the 'collection and is more like a mini jewellery box, rather than a trinket box, but its with all my other boxes on my bookcase, so here it is:

 

 

i just love the detail in the middle, and the swirls!

 

hope you like my little collection of trinket/pill boxes.

 

whats your collection!?
