Saturday 24th - Rain + Car boot = :(

Today's car boot was disappointing due to the rainy start we had to the day in London this morning, but not ones to be put off by a little rain we braved the weather in hope of treasure. The car boot was quite sparse...but after a very quick look around we returned home with a chair (which Miss R plans to transform with a re-paint and re-upholster, look out for the before and after photos in the next week when it is complete), some beautiful vintage cutlery and 2 retro Babysham glasses.

A gift for the beautiful Siouxsie from Miss J....£2

Box of cutlery: 15 x forks, 12 x spoons, 3 x serving spoons, 1 x teaspoon, 9 x knives....£11. Meant to take a before shot...ooops, you'll have to take my word for it they came up well after lots of polishing.
