Well seeing as I woke up to a Sunday without a big Grey cloud looming overhead, we decided to go Treasure hunting! Went to Hitchin Car boot, which I have to say is my fav and then onto Stondon which is an afternoon Boot sale so lots of treasures to be found!!
Not so many vintage pretties today and some really badly painted cabinets and things but I'm sure I will be able to transform them soon enough!!
This is the lot together...including some great finds such as a aqua crochet cardigan that I couldn't resist and a cute as a button sewing basket for my Mum!
This had thesweetest rosebuds on them and was a nice thickness for Mum to make into something Fabulous!! ( will post some of her products another time!) Here are some close ups!!
And YES...that is a birdcage you can spy on the shelf!!! It actually has a battery and apparently 'tweets' ...have yet to find out!!
Well not a bad little score today and now have the job of transforming them into treasures you would want to display in your home!! Got my work cut out for me I think!!
Hope you all had a lovely Sunday xxxx

Well I thought I'd done well but I'm a total amateur compared to you!!! What a great haul of goodies. I can just imagine the cabinet with the wire doors painted with fabric behind. The white shelves are brilliant.

Ahh but you see hun, sometimes a bargain find is better than a load of junk!! LOL!! love the fabric idea hun... and you're right that white cabinet...although very badly painted was my find of the day!! Thanks for the comment hun xx
Great treasures! I love the cabinet. I did paint the cherries on the toolbox--they are pretty easy.
Great finds that I'm pretty sure you'll be doing things with.
Well done Annie! I can't believe you have found all that stuff in one morning. All they ever have in our local boot sale is broken toys and overpriced clothes.
That's a fantastic stash you have there! I overslept yesterday morning, and missed one of the best boot fairs in the area!
