soo after scrapping the pond project yesterday i needed a pick me up this morning, in the form of another bargain! so i followed my girlfriend to her car boot sale and did what every good boyfreind does . . . . disappeared for an hour stumbled across these . . rhs collection ( photo / image / picture from lukeypukey's Garden ) the ultimate garden planner ( photo / image / picture from lukeypukey's Garden ) thymus 'doone valley' ( photo / image / picture from lukeypukey's Garden ) 2 thymes - doone valley & silver posie ( photo / image / picture from lukeypukey's Garden ) spent £7 pound in total. the rhs collection had the price in the back, it was £50 and i got it for £2 . . . i nearly broke the poor womans hand off :-D
Luke... I'm not sure what a car boot sale is.... but I want to go to one now! Great finds... especially on the book collection. At first glance I thought it was seed packets. But books? Even better! And the red & white cyclamen are gorgeous.
:-D Oh happy day for you Luke!!! :-D Sure wish a "car boot" sale was in NJ today, even in the icy weather. Are they a bit like garage and yard sales? What lucky finds for you. That would keep me whistling a happy tune for a long time.
thanks cheryl . . i suppose a car boot sale is your version of a yard sale. you find a large car park or field and everyone pays a small fee to come along and sell there unwanted items. alot of the time you get market traders come down with plants and other such things. i wanted more of the cyclamen but they had all gone. :-D
thanks kathyd, it certainly cheered me up some. i didn't have a clue what you guys might call a car boot sale, sat here for a good 5 minutes scratching my head. there pretty much a yard and garage sale
Luke... your car boot sale sounds like our Flea Markets. Never knew why they are called that... I've never seen on single person selling fleas!
thats what i was looking for!! flea market :-D how would you even sell fleas? packs of 10? :-? im sure i read somewhere that it was something to do with the flea circus, they may of had them there years ago
Or the old things you bought came with their own supply of free fleas Lots of good finds you have there. I haven't found a good flea market in years, most have been taken over by the vendors with candles, pirated CD's and DVD's, and other things you buy in the import district.
we still get plenty of those toni, we have counterfeit everything here . . . with the odd plant stall inbetween
