FINDS!

Relaxed day so far.
It's nice and warm outside, feels more like late spring than
early autumn. Way to warm for a jacket or even a cardigan.
I've been making apple sauce with Muscovado sugar and a
lot of cinnamon and I got a whole lot of cool finds at the car
boot sale this morning.

The best find must have been the black autumn/winter coat
from Dorthy Perkins for only £2!
I love the design, very timeless and classic.
I've been looking around for a black coat but haven't found
one that I like yet and to be honest, I don't feel like spending
£50 on a new one.
I had to mend one of the pockets and remove some bobbles
but that was a quick fix.

The cassette case will be absolutely perfect to store craft in
while we're traveling.

I also bought yet another cute 1950's apron to my huge apron
collection. I can't help myself...


1950's apron, 50 pence.


Closeup on the pocket.


Closeup on the edge.


1960's eggcups, 30 pence.


Knitted dress, £1.


Coat, £2.


Vintage cassette case, 20 pence.

I totally forgot to post last weeks finds!
I didn't find much stuff but these are my favorites:


LP, £1.


These books were a present from my man.
The pink one cost £30 new but he got both for only £8.

    I hope you wont mind, I borrowed your picture of the green checkered apron. Its like the one I made in school, very much like it. I am writing about aprons on my blog. If you wish I will remove the picture but hope you enjoy the post enough to allow me to keep it.
