The weather was good ...

... and so was the car boot. Do you want to see what I bought? I'll show you anyway.
Homes mags - 10p each
Set of 3 wire boxes which I'll use for putting little presents in at Christmas -  £1.50
The wire boxes are similar to this box I got from the junk shop for 25p.
Cone of wool - 50p, sewing bits and bobs - £1
With the sewing stuff was this little beauty.
I don't possess any silk stockings! 
I used to sew and I might sew again - 6 for £1
2 Ikea baskets one for 50p and one for 75p. The necklaces were 50p and £1.
3 long swirly skirts - 50p each. 2 of the zips are a bit sticky. It's a good job I  have some spare.

So all that lot came to £8.75 (if I've added it up right). I've definitely got a smile on my face. We also got some watering pipes for the garden (£2) and some ring binders to put our music in (£2.50 for 6).

In the afternoon I went for a long 5 mile walk on the promenade.







We finished off the afternoon with a barbeque with DH doing the cooking (burning).

  11. Great haul, I love sewing patterns although mainly for the pictures - sewing with felt is about my level! Looks like a gorgeous bit of beach - I'm always jealous of people who live by the sea.
