Bargains

I have been having problems connecting from one of the computers - so after installing the photograph software, am back to blogging.

Thankfully the weather has held and the boys, myself and my parents all went out to Penarth on Friday afternoon.  We ended up at the Pier for an ice cream and a wander on the beach.

After that I took the boys in to Cardiff where is is the Big Weekend.  We were lucky enough to have free tickets for the rides. Nine for each of the boys.  I just stood and watched - got pretty nercous watching and then treated them to a hot dog each on the way home.

The real treat for me was that the boys slept over my parents on Saturday night as they were going to Wembley on Sunday, to watch the Manchester United and Chelsea football match.

So of course that meant a trip on my own to the car boot sale.  Not an overwhemling success, but I did manage to find a few bits and bobs.  First off some fabric.  The floral stripe above and this pretty red and cream stripe

To add to my growing collection, I bought this vintage tin.  The top is pretty plain and distressed, but the outside is very pretty and inside is the stunning part.

My random buy was these door handles.  I think they are 1930s because of their shapes - but then again they could be 1950s.  I haven't a clue what to use them for, but how could I resist?
