Another Sunday morning, another rainy day ! When is this awful Summer going to end ?

Unfortunately I have a serious affliction, I just can't stay away from boot sales whatever the weather. So out we popped with a pair of grumpy twins in tow.

Not too many sellers but as usual MASSES of desperate traders all looking for bargains to sell on !

I did manage to find a few lovely pieces.

Wonderful Salt and Pepper tins. I couldn't find any for sale in this country but they do seem to be available in America. I think they probably date from the 1960/70's . Great condition and sold as soon as I put them on Facebook *happy face*

Hard to find these days, gorgeous mint green enamel Saucepan in great condition. Just enough small rust and chips to make it look *authentic French chic* For Sale £16 plus P & P. Message or comment if interested.

If you follow my blog regularly you may remember some months back I mentioned the *ranty* man who regularly shouts at customers (he has a wonderful manner) He was back again today and as I cautiously approached his van I noticed a very interesting box on the floor. It was full of this :

Absolute shabby chic HEAVEN ! Hand painted Adams Calyx Ware ! There is a mixture of patterns (I think the previous owner must have been a collector) I particularly love the one above which I think is called Lowestoft. It is English Ironstone and is totally Divine. Perfect if you love the Vintage French style look. Over 22 plates, 3 soup cups with plates, 2 large Singapore Bird HUGE platters and a Lowestoft small platter!

I actually walked away the first time around as the box was large and bulky and as I didn't have too much money I didn't want to spend it all on one lot. I went back THREE times to check if it was still there and take a peak inside. He noticed me *scared* obviously in a good mood he made me an offer I couldn't refuse to take them away. YIPEEEE. Poor hubby had to lug the box all the way back to the car. All home safe and sound now.

Finally for today (because my camera hates me and its taking ten times longer than it should to get this post finished)

A selection of china. A girl can never have enough mis- matched pieces of china. These are the staple "money maker" when I sell at Topsham on a Friday. Just £1 per piece people can't get enough. Comment or message if you are interested.

Many thanks for popping by

In other news I have an amazing lady working on a new look blog (and possibly website) all coming soon. *EXCITED*

linking up with Lizzie over at Magpie Monday

It's been raining for weeks (or so it seems) I have missed two Sunday boot sales so I was doing my serious "no rain" dance last night in order to get my fix. After an awful night's sleep I awoke to beautiful clear skies and the chimes of baby twin asking if he could come with me today to the boot sale. But, but, but ..... I need to concentrate ! I need to march around at speed snatching bounty from beneath the noses of the less astute! No problem. The boot sale gods were looking down, hubby came with me and No 1 son assured me (after I shook him out of his slumber) that he would stay awake and look after Big twin when he woke up .

Off we rushed. Here are some of my goodies all bound for the Topsham Vintage and handmade fair along with the stools and a few other pieces I have "reloved".

I've had this 1950/60's picnic hamper for a while but have finally got around to cleaning it up and sorting it out to take to the vintage fair tomorrow.

Lovely wicker hamper with a great greyish/white whitewash effect and grey handles, gorgeous. Shall I keep it, shall I sell it ?

Really beautiful palest yellow and white with gold stars English Bone china tea set

Lovely, ceramic Jelly/Blamange mould

You may remember a while back I mentioned about a gorgeous French glass set of tea cups and saucers I saw and didn't pick up (I already have a set myself) well the lady was back again today and she still had the set ! Mine, all mine ! Won't make that mistake twice.

Immaculate Enamel Bread bin, no real age to it, made in Poland, a beauty all the same .

Sorry but that's all I have time for today. Hopefully most of the above will sell tomorrow. If you are in Devon and fancy a treat of Vintage and Homemade loveliness please do pop down to Topsham (we are in the hall next to the Fire station) from 10 am to 4 pm.
