Throughout most of the Summer me and my hubby really got into going to car boot sales. We're up early everyday with the kiddies anyway so we might as well do something. You can find some real gems at car boot sales nowadays, with our throwaway culture we're willing to let things go cheap just so we have the space to replace them with newer things! So I thought I would show some of the 'home' stuff I managed to grab, I also got a few things not from a car boot sale but still pretty cheap nonetheless!
I got this garden ornament from Tesco while doing my weekly food shop! They have been having a huge clear out at my local Tesco recently so have picked up a few pieces, you'll see more below! I got this for my bathroom! I wanted to do a little bit of a nautical theme and managed to bag this for £3.00!
I got this awesome lighthouse for my bathroom. It was a little more on the expensive side at £6.99 but I thought it was so cute and went with my bathroom decor. Plus it is from Dunelm Mill so £6.99 is pretty cheap for them!
I picked up these two red and white stripped cups from my local charity shop. They were only 50p each and I just loved the fact that they are kind of 'mushroom' shaped. I also got the coffee can from Tesco, would you believe I got this for 75p! I thought it would be perfect for storing all of Daryls different coffees! What a bargain.
I got this cool 'Stamp' cushion from a carboot sale for £1.00. I love all the different prints and it sits nicely on my vanity chair.
I got this shabby looking coat rack for £1.00 too! I cant wait to hang it up. I may do a blog post of a before and after in my hallway! Just need to keep nagging my hubby to put it up!
This guy right here is one of my favourite car boot finds. I got him for 50p and have him sitting on my desk waiting for Halloween so I can put a candle in him.
These candle jars were a completely random purchase. While walking around the end of a car boot sale one stall still really wanted to get rid of all its stuff. So I had a dig around and found these. I had no idea what I was going to use them for but I got them both for 50p. It didn't take too long for me to find a home for them and now they are holding my ear buds and cotton pads. Yay for cute storage.
I have been going cushion crazy this summer. I'm not completely sure why but I decided that I wanted some nice blue cushions for my bedroom. I found the big fluffy cushion at a car boot sale for £1.00. The blue cushion on the left with the pink car was another find from Tesco and only cost me £3.00. Last but not least I got a semi matching cushion with a yellow balloon on for only £2.00! So I think I am all set for pillows in my bedroom at the moment!
I hope you didn't mind this type of haul because you can't go out and find these items yourself but its a good excuse to check out the car boot sales when they start up next Spring!
