At our local car boot on Easter Monday I was lucky to find these things!The Lotto is a complete set and was only 50p!
The tin is packed with wooden cotton reels, ribbon, buttons, cord, lace and a whole reel of white egg shell ribbon (which does the same as Tims ribbon ie takes ink and stays crinkled).
The round things are drawer/door handles (about 25 for £1).
And the book is beautiful! It is about the hand drawn/painted postcards/letters a grandad (Sir Henry Thornhill) has sent to his grandchildren from 1914 -1923, it has so many lovely pics in it, a bargain at £1!
Just need to make something with them now!
I'm not going to cut up the book by the way! (I had such a telling off from my 7yr old grandson when he saw what I had done to the othe book! (allthough he did say he liked what I had done, I had to make a pinky promise I would NOT cut this one up!) So I wouldn't dare, not that I was going to anyway!!!

What fabulous finds! Especially the tin of cottons etc. LOL at your grandson x
Fantastic finds, you obviously have a good class of boot sale round your way! Those lotto numbers would have cost you a fortune from one of the "big names" and the tin is definitely a good slice of nostalgia and ripe for altered project pieces - have fun and don't upset your grandson ;o)
You lucky thing, some right bargains, wish there were more boot sales near me, i miss going.
Fab finds !!
Ooh marvellous finds, and well done you for not heistating..I faff and can't decide and then go back too late. Arrgh. The binding tape is a lovely thing to have - I get mine from the Ribbon Girl, much less expensive than Th's!!
