Another haul

I'm going to introduce a new feature to my blog about local jumble sales and boot sales that are on every week, I'll be starting it from next week so look out for that as well as reviews on different boot sales in the area which I will be also starting soon.
My latest haul is a mixture of boot sale, jumble sale and charity shop goodies. The weather has been awful recently so I've given Mike a break from dragging him to early morning boot sales and we've had some nice lie-ins. I think he deserves it! These stripey shorts were originally some really unflattering jeans, you know the type? 80's high waist that make your hips look huge. I saw huge potential in these and decided to cut them up. Topshop do a similar pair with thinner stripes for £32. Mine only cost me £3.50!

I went to a jumble sale on Saturday. I got there at around 1.30 and was a bit early as it started at 2pm so me and Mike were going to chill out in the car but then we saw the queue which was already crazy long so we decided we might as well queue up as well. It was actually quite large inside and stretched over two rooms and even had furniture outside. I managed to pick up this sheep jumper for only 30p.

Lastly just two boot sale purchases. Bought this amazing shirt for 50p from a women who said that it belonged to her friend who bought it from Paris yonks ago. The collar has a cute little hedgehog and mushrooms embroidered onto it. How cute right? and to top if off the buttons are made to look like logs and hedgehogs.


I also purchased this binoculars bag for 50p. It's a really good size for keeping my instax camera in.
