The weather was fine and the temperature just below freezing when I went to the first car-boot sale of the season on Saturday morning. There were lots of people selling and shivering and even more folk walking round - not quite as cold as those standing still but blimey it was cold.
My spend total was £1.50
More pegs, after finding the ones in a charity shop I've now plenty to last me years, a new pad of paper for the grandchildren and an almost full roll of greaseproof paper.
I use the cheap greaseproof to line tins when cooking things that don't need baking parchment, saves some dishwashing.
At the boot-sale I looked through lots of boxes of crockery for a spring plate for the Seasonal Display - no luck. A couple of years ago I had a plate with spring flowers but it's vanished. Did I give it away? If so I'm a idiot!
So it's the Country Diary March plate on top of the bookshelves -it's third outing I think, the Beswick wren and blue-tit are there again and the Hare moves here from the big bookshelves for March. The flowers came from the boot-sale too, they should have cost me £2 but a lady was buying up loads of bunches and gathering them all into a bucket and I jokingly said can you save some for me? and she paid for her 10 bunches and then paid for my two bunches which was such a surprise that I think I forgot to say 'Thankyou'!
Back Soon

What a lovely nothing to do. Daffodils are so happy and cheerful. As always, your seasonal shelf looks beautiful. xx
ReplyDelete'nothing' - I meant 'thing', of course. Sorry. xx
DeleteI like your little seasonal arrangements, I might try to put one together from bits I already have.
