Some Car Boot bargains

I can never resist the lure of the Car Boot Sale, so my husband and I had a browse around our local one this morning. He is looking out for some practical stuff - screws, drill bits. I am looking out for the china I collect, oddments of wool. We both look for books!




These little jugs came home with me as I have several Crinoline Lady pieces. I found a couple of books - one on walks in Arthurian Wales and the other herbal remedies. At the same stall as the latter book I found this rather oddball rugmaker. I'm not sure if I will use it, but I can at least offer it to a friend who might, rather than it being consigned to a bin.




Finally I found this beautiful x-stitch angel, which became mine for just £2. Considering the hours of work which went into this, I reckon I got a bargain. We'll frame it up and put it in the guest bedroom.
