Nearly new sale finds








Today I went to a Nearly New Sale held at the end of each month in a village near to T's school. I had been meaning to go for the last few months but keep missing it. It had been described to me as more of an antiques and bric-a brac market but I think I liked it more as it was slightly jumble sale-y. But without the crowd. It had clothes rails and then tables with bric a brac on. Here is my haul...this bright sunny yellow plate, it gives a touch of cheerfulness to our table, just what I need on a cold winter's day. (Only a pound!)
A red silk metallic jumper, with three quarter length sleeves. What more could I want for the Christmas season? Two stripey long sleeved t shirts, I do like some stripes. A navy and white stripey top (from Hobbs, lah-di-dah, posh for me) and a green and black stripey top, the black is sort of shiny and glittery in real life. I think these two will go with my me-made skirts and trousers. These were all £2 each. Little I bought two trains for her and her brother. I am training her young.

  2. You are a serious nearly new pioneer! I can see you're extending your nautical look - which I've also a soft spot for (along with polkadots!)

  3. Scruffybadger, Yes I am adding to the nautical look! I think you cannot go far wrong with a bit of nautical-ness.
    Alex, I am trying to keep warm. Just found my longjohns! Is Fee wearing a coat? I hope so.

  4. Great finds. . . I love the stripes and have a weakness for those 1930's dishes.

  5. Ooooh ... nice scores! I do love slowly building up a good wardrobe through thrifting and handmade. Those stripes are fantastic!
