WHAT CAN YOU GET FOR £40.00 AT THE CAR BOOT

First of all the progress in my living room... as been slow!
Although I can now share the completed make-over of the frame... that I mentioned in the previous post...
And here it is!
But instead of adding a floral fabric... For coincidence I had this gorgeous vintage tapestry...
The size was nearly perfect... 
So hubby came to the rescue again... and done a good job shortening it for me....
And on the photo below is how it looks in my wall.
Amongst my newly painted little glass cabinet.
This corner now looks so more brighter...
And that`s the look that I`m trying to go for!
What do you think?
As we progress changing this room... I now need to buy some treasures that reflects this style...
So lucky me, just as I thought that my local car boot had finished, there was a note in my local newspaper
saying that there was to be another one today... weather permitting!
So I took £40.00 with me, just in case that I would need it for that special treasure.
You know, the one that you really really wanted, but because of shortage of £££ you had to let it go away?
Do you want to see which treasures I bought?

- This set of vintage Christmas tree, candle lights were only £1.00.
Although I took a risk buying them, as I`m not sure if they work, although I did ask!
 Most of these pretty treasures were priced at .50p, £1.00 or £2.00.
I love perfume bottles...
And although these are empty they will look lovely when grouped together and displayed in my little bathroom cabinet.
The lady had nearly a box full of these, although I was only interested on the nicer bottles...
And she let me have the lot that I`ve choose for £1.00.
Which I`m very happy about...
I was on the look out for white ceramics for my living room... 
And I`m glad with the ones that I got  for £2.00 each.
Although I wish  there was more to be bought.
I also wanted elaborate frames... for my room... I found the one below for .50p.
It`s plastic, but once painted white, it will do!
Another thing that I been wanting for ages is a hula hoop netting...
To go in my pergola... just above the seater. I paid £2.00. 
Which is a very good price for a like new condition Ikea netting.
When I saw these pictures below... My heart nearly stopped!:-)
I`ve been looking for one for ages for Jodie-Lee bedroom, and to find two for £3.00 for the pair...
Was one of my best buys of the day!
Since they can go for over £15.00 on Ebay + postage.
I couldn`t resist treat my girls with an hello kitty necklace and heart key ring for £2.50 for both!
These shelves below... Im not 100% sure if they were a good buy, to be honest!
But they were only £2.00 for both. And I`m hoping that once painted, they will look lovely in Daniels room!
I also bought some lovely vintage Cristmas baubles, beautifully worked tablecloth,
one like new jacket for Nichole and some other bits for my 3 treasures,
including Ben 10 stickers for Daniel!
Although, once again... I didn`t find anything for hubby, which I always feel bad about...:-)
...
Just as we were about to leave I spotted that the price of a lovely metal glass table complete with two chairs, was dropped from £35.00 to £15.00.
I saw it when we first arrived, but thought that it would be my £40.00 nearly gone in one simple transition...So I decided against buying it! I counted the money that I had left and I just about had enough for it! The table is only small, but still wouldn`t fit in our car. So the seller very kindly offered to follow us home with it!Feeling quite bad about how cheap I was getting my table, plus the free delivery... I rushed inside home to get some more money to give as a thank you gesture. Although I didn`t had any... no changes there!:-) So I pinched... I meant I borrowed some from our 8 year old!:-) Now, I have been told, that I need to pay with interest!
I think I have a business daughter in the making!Lol

TODAY I`M DREAMING OFF...
 LET`S ALL HAVE A WONDERFUL WEEK!
