Sundays Car Boot Finds.

 I fell in love with this stamp set as soon as I saw it! It is a pre-decimal shop stamp set in a wooden box with all the upper and lower case alphabet and numbers and shop related words like bargain, each, per quarter etc!
I also got some hand made Bedfordshire lace (which just happens to be where I was born) all beautiful!
 Two rusty keys!
Some printers blocks, not a full set but never mind!
 Some hexagonal knobs (which I have an idea for already)!
And this sweet little shelf/drawers Which I forgot to take a before photo of before I attacked it!
It is now painted duck egg blue.
With paper on the drawer fronts,
and on the top!
I cant wait til it is up on the wall holding all my little tools that I seem to put down and loose so now they will have a place!
Thanks for looking!

If I had known you could get beauties like these at car boot sales you would never get me away - fabulous finds.

What great finds! Are boot sales something like garage sales here? Where people sell their old stuff in front of their houses?

What a great stash of goodies!!! Nothing makes me more thrilled than a good find. I think I have enough found object supplies on hand for a lifetime but the search is so much fun! Enjoy!
