I went to a closing down sale at the weekend and got this light fitting for just over €50.00 which I think was a good bargain. I think I will put it either in the sitting room or in our bedroom. I also bought lots of other bits for the house and will show you some photographs of them soon. Hope you are all having a nice week!

Bank Holiday Monday I decided to bring my Dad for a drive in the morning time so we headed for a Car Boot Sale. It was good just to rummage around and take a look at all the stalls/ boots/ vans/ trailors full of other people's items, I didn't bring the camera but I will share with you what I bought. I will go again some weeked soon to another one I know of. I prefer it to the markets as there is a very large market every Saturday on the border between Ireland and Northern Ireland however it tends to have stalls with seconds, generally clothing, electricals, tools and bed clothes which aren't really my thing. I prefer to get an odd bargain and something more unique.

So here's my shopping/bargaining:

A beautiful small white and blue crochet blanket with wavy edges. I have to wash it yet but once it's washed I'll show you it properly, I thought it would look nice in my blue bedroom on the wicker chair- pretty isn't it- I got it for €4.00

Next I got this nice dainty tea cup and saucer which I thought was quite pretty for €4.00, it is now displayed in the glass cabinet in the kitchen. And there you have it- my purchases at the Car Boot Sale. I'm an amateur really!
