Car booty!

Thanks to the lovely Naomi of Vintage Secret fame I have recently discovered a fantastic local car boot sale.

Over the last few weeks I have picked up the following:

• two 4 yard pieces of wool fabric £4
• various vintage sewing patterns - total £3
• 4 babycham glasses - £1
• working 70's superhot Carmen rollers that might actually work on my recalcitrant barnet - £3
• Art Deco depression glass cheese dish - £3
• 40's / 50's deadstock patchwork quilt - £25

I absolutely love a bargain and couldn't be happier, though my home is slowly illing with my new found treasures.  A couple of pics of the quilt below.

It's darker than the pictures suggest and really stunning.I'm fairly sure it is either deadstock or kept in a bottom drawer and never used as its absolutely mint condition with no fading.  It could be new, hard to tell but I don't think it is, the faded paper tag on it looked old.  It even bore a label reading £150, much more recent, but it must have been for sale in an antique or vintage shop at some point.

Pretty, pretty thing.
