July treasure

Hi lovelies. 
Here are a few pieces of prettiness
to share for July.


A pink cup and saucer that
I'm using to keep my bits of fabric
jewellery in.


Recent finds from a car boot sale.


A needle case which has the original label
and tags inside.


This has to be one of my all time favourite
car boot finds.
It was full of cigarette cards and the seller
wanted £10.00 for the lot.
"But I only want the box" I said :(


He looked at me in a rather ' you're nuts' way
and sold it to me (well Steve bought it me actually!)
for 50p.  Happy doesn't even cover it!
It made my day. :)


I have a friend on facebook who I shall call Jayne, 
as that is her name!
She has been 'encouraging' me to purchase pink china. 
A lot!
  She kept sending me links about the pink pieces
of china on this post and, well, 
I could have looked the other way or ignored
her messages but I didn't and so          
here they are looking pretty on my shelf 
and taking care of my jewellery.
Thanks Jayne. xxx


Two more great finds.
A floral bowl and ...


this china mosaic tray.


My final photo of the day is of my new pink satchel by Zatchels.
Beautifully crafted.
Yum-mi!
Have a fab evening.
Love

Back to business - A recent car boot visit.

You know how it is. Sometimes you get up at the crack of dawn, throw on some clothes and rush off to the nearest car boot sale. You walk round eagle eyed only to return home with absolutely nothing! But not this week! Look at these goodies. :)

Lucky for me it started off with the suitcase complete with tags and labels.

Oh Naples looks fab.

Then I came across this old artist box with lots of compartments inside.

Linens, old tape measures and a plastic quilted peg bag still in its packet. (This item was just so kitsch I just had to buy it!)

Next came the beautiful pink glass bowls and rose china dish.

And finally this wonderful old wooden truck.
What a morning! Thank you booty people.
