where the beautiful things are

... is also where i will be!  and that's a car boot sale!

 might i also add, it is THE one and only car boot affair here in Gib!

... which is pretty much a once-a-year happening!  but nonetheless, at least there is one and am happy :)  let me walk you through all the stuff i found and left behind at the car boot sale:

i love a good ole rocking chair... but we don't have that much space in our flat  so i had to leave him behind

i have been looking for a footstool, or an ottoman or a beanbag to put around the house so when i saw this cane beauty i had to stop myself from buying him right then and there...  in the end i had to leave him behind too... when i showed this pic to the mister, his words were, "not another chess set!"  and i didn't even notice that!

vintage designer shoes!  the heels were too high for me though :P

a beautiful sewing box with wheels that could possibly double as a side table!

what's a car boot sale without an owl?  he was the only one i saw there i swear :)

 colorful pretty little boxes and bracelets from Nepal

 a cute seashell carriage pulled by dolphins aaawwwwwww :)

a bin full of wrestling dolls or action figures. this could possibly make a little boy happy!

a goth punk-rocker baby with furry hands wearing a lumberjack shirt, pjs and black school shoes!!!  a fashion revolution ya think? 

 can i say bike one more time?

 i love this book of Russian fairy tales but the price was beyond my limit

wanted to buy this for the mister but i hesitated because this is something you just see and read once and then relegated to a corner afterwards so i left it behind

yes, that is indeed a sink, ladies and gentlemen!

 a treadmill too!

i circled the whole lot thrice before i went home making sure i did't miss anything :) ("..circled"???? sheesshhh i make it sound like am a vulture!)  but before i called it a day, i bought one of these pretty little things :)  yum!


i'll show you my finds tomorrow, promise!
