Hello you 'orrible worms. I had quite a serious weekends worth of car boot action and here are some things I have to show for it:
|
A real-feather-pheasant (nice mix of words). I like how mangy it looks. |
I love this little glass and mirror pyramid - it makes everything look good. It's the ultimate display solution for an indie jeweller. |
As soon as it came in the house Schweiker displayed a used teabag in it . . . it looked really good. Here is a felt mouse display. |
Not just any felt mouse but one holding a cat. Very good! |
I love this rattle, the colours and construction are so beautiful. |
Pastels and dark neon, a fine combination. |
Very simple spoons made by Alessi. |
I love this brooch - it's just a dirty great gob of mother of pearl. So simple and lovely. It reminds me of that other simple brooch I loved (in this post). If only I still had the other I would wear them together. |
It has a handsome chunky back too. |
A horse from India. |
And a jacket from Norway. |
Tiny little crucibles - in shapes worthy of Lucy Rie. |
A nicely naive landscape. |
And a pair of pigeons that I couldn't resist. |
Also another cast of The Girl from the Seine seems much more like an actual cast than the other one. |
Some sixties fabric in nice colours. |
A hat block. I like it's character: kind of bawdy. It looks like it's having a good belly laugh at something. |
A bit of hot blanket action. |
And a pair of cymbals that I really like because they make a big noise (see above photo for proof). I'm quite tempted to keep them as a means of emphasising important life moments, they make a pleasing ending . . . dinner is finished! *crash!* . . . Rosalie is out the shower *crash!* and so on and so forth. |
Anyhow. I photoed for so long the light started to go and made these beautiful shadows, good eh? Here is some more handsome chunky mother of pearl - a necklace with coral coloured filler beads. |
And a cork screw with a happy bakelite face. |
This blog post is now over.
*CRASH!*
You bought some really beautiful things, especially love the blanket and the little smiley corkscrew, they would make me extremely happy each time I used them!
ReplyDeleteI love that rattle, beautiful x
ReplyDeletethe mouse,
ReplyDeletethe brooch
and the horse
are my favorites!
What an excellent haul this week! Love the rattle, love the bowls, love the pigeons! And I do think you should keep the cymbals on hand at all times, just in case.
ReplyDeleteGlad you folks approve!
ReplyDeleteI feel quite jolly this week and I think it's because the season of proper car booty arrives along with spring! Exciting stuff.
Botterman approves of the cymbals, hooray! . . . *crash!*
Also, like your blog Afternibbin folk - happy you're here.
I've stumbled across your blog this morning, brought here by My Friend's House, where I ended up courtesy of my friend's blog (Anusha)... amazing what you end up doing before the household awakes on a Saturday morning.
ReplyDeleteReally loving your bits and pieces and very jealous that you must get to go to some really decent car boot sales!
So - two questions - where are the best car boot sales? I live in Poole, have only ever been to two car boot sales and only ever see people selling useless children's videos, rejected Primark clothes and the odd cup and saucer!
Second question - do you sell your tooty on, or are you hoarding as we speak?
Thank you for entertaining me this foggy morning!
