We were at times measured and at others completely giddy kippers. Some treasures got left behind, but we came home with bags aplenty and a dressed crab for supper. I'm already looking forward to our next adventure. Today, I added to my riches by going to the carboot sale.
So, where to start?
A bag of stencils from the junk shop - too many to list here, these are two of my faves.
Vintage toffee tin for Iris from Katie
1940s court shoes. Sigh, they are perfect...
A great many books - might have to do another post on the rest!
The Peacock Party by Alan Aldridge, published 1979.
Tinker Tailor by Charles Keeping, published 1968
Page detail - lovely, eh?
Balbus by Oliver Hill and Hans Tisdall, published 1944
Page detail - extraordinary snail
Groovy Sultan eggcup
Tiny red enamel candle holder
Two wooden owls
Pretty bird plate
Abstract ironstone plate
Wowzers, what a haul! Maybe I can encourage Katie to share her finds with us...?
*UPDATE* See Katie's Flickr - she's posted her finds!

My fave wa s the book on buildings and the shoes ..well done you !
Some nice things here. I have such a weakness for vintage books.
Love the look of that Balbus book - will have to track that one down.
