two weeks into spring and still the weather was stubborn to let go of the last vestiges of Old Man Winter... but finally last saturday i did it... i hopped and skipped and almost jumped...
because last saturday i was on my way to a carboot sale! and here are my beautiful finds:
because last saturday i was on my way to a carboot sale! and here are my beautiful finds:
 |
| cheap and chic! a pair of Ikea Skribent bookends that I have been looking for the longest time! made of strong birch and galvanised steel, they give my second-hand books a modern feel |
 |
| a sweet ole guy manning a stall full of toys had me at "traditional" with this yoyo |
 |
| a clear glass Parlane Collection flower frog |
 |
| a Chinese bamboo steamer that the owner has not found the time to use :) dumplings galore! |
 |
| a hunter green silk clutch with a beautiful bird design still in its plastic wrap |
 |
| one of the trends for Spring 2013 is shimmery, iridescent metallics so this pair of shiny brand-new Cherokee sneakers would just fit right in! |
 |
| my last find is a total score. retailing at £40 a pair, this brand new (still in packaging), woollen, shearling-lined, gunmetal gray classic from Toms are the most comfortable pair i've ever worn! the lady i bought this from said it was meant for her granddaughter but that she didn't like them. lucky, lucky me!
my next post will be all about the things i saw and left behind at the carboot :)
