Car Boot Finds and a little extra.........

It was an early start for our household this morning as I dragged the children and my husband to our local car boot sale. I was in search for more china to add to my collection so that my little business venture can finally get under way. I didn't hold out much hope to find much as I only normally come away with one or two items. Luck can sometimes be on your side though and mixed with an early start magic can materialise.......

What better place than on my new kitchenette to display all of my morning's treasures. I just adore this piece of furniture and when my dreams finally do come true I have the perfect place for it!!! Just look at this that I found on the inside of one of the doors:

Everything else you can see inside is from the CB this morning.......and here it all is:

A set of six trios and a milk jug by Crown Staffordshire. It was only £4 and is in perfect condition and is perfect for my collection.

Two English Rose Dinner Plates by Royal Doulton - only £1 each. These are so pretty and will look beautiful mixed with some of my other china.


These two cake plates are adorable and have such beautiful patterns. Again they are by Royal Doulton. I have lots of cake plates but could not resist these two especially when I found out they were only 50p each!!

Everyone who knows me knows that I have a passion for Shelley China, so I couldn't believe it when I saw this sat among clothes and toys with a price tag of £2. It is an original Old Foley Shelley Cake Stand complete with handle - beautiful!!

Now a girl can never have to many Jelly Moulds - the more the merrier!!! I found these on the final stretch of the CB and couldn't help myself. I have ideas for them though so my purchase can at least be justified!!

Now I am not quite sure whether this piece of fabric is 'old' vintage or 'new' vintage but at 50 p for over 6 ft I surely couldn't go wrong. It has a little tiny floral print all over and is perfect for some crafty sessions.

Now I know I have mentioned that I have the most wonderful husband in the world but even I couldn't have expected this when it turned up on my doorstep along with my kitchenette:

It is a 1950's Medical Cabinet. Isn't it just gorgeous and comes complete with it's original key. It will be perfect to display some of my more precious china - all I have to do is decide which ones.........

I hope you have enjoyed my post and I would like to say a BIG THANK YOU to all of my followers. I follow all of your blogs every single day and cannot imagine life without you all.
