Car Boot Treats

By Threadandbutter @threadandbutter
The weather held out for this bank holiday weekend so I managed to go to my favorite car boot sale in Southampton. It was absolutely huge with double the amount of sellers that are normally expected. I am on a tight budget so only took £10 with me, hoping to come away with change. Luckily, I managed to pick up a handful of great things for under £5. I even bumped into my grandparents and showed our bargains to each other over a cup of tea.

The first things I spotted are probably my favorite from the haul. I love that the Prince Charles and Lady Diana mug is made of glass and would be perfect to drink a blossoming jasmine tea from. I love anything Royal, and floral so this is a dreamy item for me. The trinket box is also lovely as it is a great size to store my hair clips in. The lady that sold it to me also gave me a two mini glass animal figures. They are not really my sort of thing, but it was rude to decline. If there is anyone out there that has a thing for glass frogs and whales then holla!

I managed to pick up some beautiful costume jewelry too. I imagine the pink beaded necklace will look great with a plain outfit or a forever faithful LBD. I normally shy away from big necklaces but I am venturing into unknown territory in an attempt to become a little more glamorous.

You have probably noticed by now that I am a sucker for a crew neck. I literally can't keep away from them. It is annoying sometimes as I will spend time thinking about what top to wear, then realize it is cold outside and end up just chucking a jumper over the top anyway. This jumper is aged 8-9 so it has a cropped fit to it. I am not 100% certain that I am going to keep it yet, I think it is likely that I will sell it on Ebay.

After my success last weekend with a polka dot skirt I felt an urge of inspiration to try and ditch the jeans and leggings and try and bring the pins out again. When I got home from the car boot and was unpacking my stuff I suddenly realised that this wasn't a skirt, they are infact culottes. I love the vibrant print of this fabric and it will look great in the summer paired with a plain white top and a bright red lip.

I also picked up this coloured glass tray which I have used to store my perfumes on. As soon as I saw it I had to have it. I am following in the footsteps of my mom and have been getting into coloured glasswares such as glasses and ashtrays, but seeing as I don't smoke I thought this tray would be a perfect way to build upon my collection. It catches the light beautifully and really makes a difference to the white top of my bedroom drawers.

The final item I spotted by was Soap and Glory Fab Pore Hot Cloth Cleanser. It was unopened and packaged in the box but I was desperate to use it so here it is in all its naked glory. I was interested to see what it was like in case I feel like having a break from usual routine. I did like it, but it wasn't anything like as luxurious as my trusty Liz Earle Cleanse and Polish. However it hasn't been long enough for me to give a detailed review so I will attempt it again and may learn to love it.
