there was a carboot sale the other day and of course i was there early. been anticipatin' this carboot for two weeks now and so i came prepared with my sturdy shopping bag and a pocket full of change ;)
here are my lovely finds:
(1) a tiny Delft stein buried under a mound of souvenir mugs from all over the world
(2) a Canadian pewter whale "piggy" bank - isn't he just sooo cute?
(5) a square monkey pod salad bowl and guess where they were made? the Philippines!
*linking to The Penny Worthy Project @ hey what's for dinner Mom? :)

(3) a functional 1960's Fujica 35 ee camera (my favorite find! perfect for my collection plus i really, really like lomography)
(4) a vintage photo album with a brown leather cover - i bought this because of nostalgia really. when i was little i remember all our photographs were
neatly arranged by my mom in a similar album
(5) a square monkey pod salad bowl and guess where they were made? the Philippines!

Hi there
ReplyDeletehow lucky you were to find some Delft china among the bric-a-brac. I am always on the look out for decent china. I do occasionally manage to find a piece or two in the "rastrillos" here. However some times they charge ridiculous prices and the fun of it is finding something nice at fun prices too :-)
keep well
Amanda :-)
thanks Amanda! that's true! we most especially love em if they come with fun prices as well :) i very rarely see them here but there are other ceramic makers that abound but i just don't have room for them anymore :) enjoy your day! xx
DeleteOoh that camera is an awesome find! Retro cameras make such great collectables, they have so much more character than modern ones. Lomography cameras are sweet too- especially the colourful Holga ones! :)

thanks Lauren! i collect the old ones but only the functioning ones :) I love the Holga ones too but havent seen one here yet :) xxx
DeleteMy favorite is your Delft stein! You really did well at your boot sale! I used to have lots of Monkey Pod items. My husband was stationed at Subic Bay for four years.
ReplyDeletewow! i didnt know you stayed there for a fair bit of time :) this is my first Monkey Pod but i think it needs a bit of restoring :)
DeleteOh, I didn't get to go! Only my husband as he lived on the ship and they were in and out of port. Our first 3 years of marriage we only saw one another for a few months a year.
DeleteGreat haul! That camera is quite the find...and I love the Delft stein!
