It was sunny and it was carboot-y, but and however, there were fairly lean pickings, (well, certainly compared to last week). Sometimes it's just like that AND I spotted dreaded hipsters. And then I have this awful sinking feeling of dismay that all the rows are being rinsed before I get there. GO AWAY, IT'S ALL MINE! Ahem. Aaaaanyway. Nice books! An elephant money box! Old fashioned white sandals for Iris! A cocktail shaker!
I also found a long green raincoat circa the 1970s and a yellow and black fold-up Formica table, (not pictured) both perfect for our camping excursions this summer. My favourite things this week are...
This pale blue anchor brooch.
And these set of dice. I love the crown, and the anchor (again).
They came in this neat little box.
And here are a couple more colour collections that I am working on.
A close-up of Pink (for Alessandra and Anna)
And a rainbow. I haven't got the lighting quite right, and I also need to sort out the perspective. But still, endless fun, right?
Oh, and I'm trying out some ideas for a new header.
I can't resist a few more gratuitous blossom shots. It's too irresistible.

i love that little picture and the elephant money box. i've never been to a car boot sale before! the ones around here are hipster central (shudder)
nice finds!
Great finds Nath! Love those dice – surely they can be made into some sort of jewelry - no?
Loving your new colour collections too, that rainbow one looks great!
I love your colour box creations. Splendid. It must be so much fun finding things to add. I agree about the light...it's so hard to get right. And if it's a dull day, forget it. I think you may need a proper light. Or maybe make a light box. There are some 'how to' tutorials out there. I've been meaning to do one for ages but wellllllll you know! I struggle on...limp along..make do
