Darren and I went off to the boot sale at around 7 am, starting to set up at about 7.15 am. We were one of the last to arrive so I think they must open the gates well before 7 am, which is what the adverts say. We didn't sell oodles of stuff, but it was pleasant enough, we covered our costs and made a bit and shifted some stuff. Have dropped some off at the charity shop on the way home so a successful venture. The man on the stall next to us made planters and garden ornaments, I bought a little stand, a bit like a ladder to house some bonsai trees and maybe the fairy garden. It is not strong enough for the fairy garden which is pretty heavy, but I have arranged some bonsais on it.
Darren told me about a stall he had seen that he thought was selling fabric. I took a wander down there and got five packs of fat quarters for £5. The cheapest you can usually get one pack is £7 so a bargain. Not the best choice of patterns but for that price a real bargain.
We came home via Sainsbury's as I had a prescription to get made up. Back here we watch the grand prix with Tina and kept out eye on the tennis, which wasn't looking good for Andy but as I type he is on the verge of winning. I did nip out into the garden to put the trees on the stand and took a photo of the new plants I put in the pot that the willow had been in.

We are having dinner together later, Tina is off to sing with the choir soon. Andy has just won!!

  1. It's always fun car booting, and if you sell some stuff and make a few bob it's a bonus. Worth going just for the sausage bap, and the material was definitely a bargain. The little plant stand looks nice.
    Love the big white flower, but there's some dirt on one of the petals. You really should have brushed it off first :-)
