Thought I would share with you some bargains that I picked up today at the carboot.Yes I ventured out of bed at the crack of dawn (6.30 am to be precise!) got ready and decided to go with my Husband and my Dad to the Carboot,well Carboots as we went to two! Unfortunately I only picked up a couple of bits as we are on a don't buy too much that we don't need rule and really there was not that much that we wanted on this occasion so I will have to be satisfied with what we got! We have lots of things to sell ourselves and in fact my Husband and Dad have been the last couple of weeks and have had a stall themselves.I am not that much of an early riser if I can help it and hate getting up too early,7.am is about the usual when I go early to work,I can get up if I choose but carboots are so early,why don't they do them later in the day??? I do go with my Husband sometimes and love to find a bargain! He tends to go every week and we do end up with some really good things.Carboots are fun,yes alot can be rubbish that I don't know why people bother to take it along??? Who wants things that are dirty and falling apart???We only buy and sell good condition or new items. I know carboots are classed by some as a no-no but why not?If like us, you are buying new or nearly new for the fraction of the cost than in the shops then surely it's no problem? Also you can find things that you wouldn't see everyday so you get something that is unique and not just run of the mill !
First of all I got a new set of false nails by Marks and Spencer.The glue has dried out but I always use nailene glue anyway not glue that comes in the kits as it sticks so much better.They are a gorgeous clear with a white tip and decorated with flowers in black with a very tiny amount of gold glitter in the centre of the flowers.They are called Thai Surprise and have a sticker saying £8,I got them for 50p!
Next I got some crafting bits,a lady was selling alot of various bits and bobs and I could have brought lots really but I have so much I need to use first.I just got these glue/sticky dots as I have never tried them before.I got two sets in different sizes each with two sheets in.I haven't counted how many I got but there is definitely afew hundred,all for 40p!!!
Don't you just love bargains? so satisfying!!!!
Hey! Yeah finding are bargain makes you feel satisfied. I haven't been to a carboot in a long time, I went to a fate this year though. It was good- I like looking at all the arts and crafts.
ReplyDeleteWhat is that saying? 'one mans meet is another mans poison' Yeah so what you might not like,need,want to keep could be something someone else does. =) I like Charity shops too! :o)
Maybe you an sell some cards you create on a stall one day. The weather in England is turning though hehe.
