Small Car Boot Finds During The Month

 Boot sales are getting a bit repetitive already and finds were few and far between this month, this first lot all came out of the boxes of one of the house clearance people early in the month.....£2 the lot.


The dustpan is for keeping outside in shed or greenhouse, where I already have a soft hand brush and  has straightaway been used for clearing up the bits when I weeded the patio. Saving me traipsing through the house to fetch one from  the kitchen. The other items were the last saucer I needed for the plant stand, a lock and lock box - always handy for storing in the freezer and the bags are useful to have just-in-case.

 Then I had a couple of weeks finding nothing except for buying bunches of fresh beetroot, the plants mentioned earlier in the month and a lime green Heuchera for the front garden which the man told me was called "Lime Marmalade".

A Wednesday boot sale toward the end of the month was more successful as I once again found useful things. From the people who do house clearance I bought a brand new roll of baking parchment and a nearly full roll of clingfilm in one of the sturdy Lakeland cutter boxes. I popped them in the cupboard with the others found from boot-sales and decided I really don't need to buy anymore - there may be enough baking parchment to last me out.............and none bought new!


The Make Your Own Farm will be for Grandson in a year or so and the Insey Winsey spider game was brand new. A card for a granddaughter birthday is handy, and  finally the set of measuring spoons will make a WI prize or part of a Christmas gift. Total spend £5.50.

Next finds were a brand new magnetic world map jigsaw, which will be a birthday or Christmas present, another Granddaughter birthday card and a pack of small modules for seed sowing next year, replacing some that split this year.  £2.80 spent.


And finally a new purse ready for when the one I'm using (also from a boot sale several years ago) falls apart. Plus a few more birthday cards ........£3 total.

Nothing wildly exciting but several things that are cheaper than their new shop price so will save me money in time.
