Well the bank holiday was over days ago (it feels like months), and what a wash out it was: I've never spent a weekend in August feeling so cold! We still managed to make the most of it though. I went home to visit my parents, and we hit some of my favourite car boot sales. I always love the carboot sales in Lincolnshire: there are a lot more of them, and they're a lot cheaper than the sales in London.
This weekend I cleaned up on the homewear front:
I got the Hornsea terrine for £2 and the coffee jar for 50p. That gives me a new mission of finding the tea and sugar jars to match! The MidWinter soup bowls were £2 for the set of 4 and I got the whole trifle set (dish and 6 bowls) for £2 too.
In fact, £2 was my favourite price, as that's how much I paid for the mirror as well: the mirror needs a good clean, but it was such a bargain! I really love the shape of it, which reminds me of an old-fashioned TV when it's turned on it's side.
Have you had any good car boot sale bargains lately? I love hearing about what people are managing to pick up!
Love, Tor x

Love a good car boot rummage! I haven't been in far too long, but we move into our first proper home at the end of the month so I definitely need to get back into the swing of things. You've inspired me with your finds - My favourites are the soup bowls!

Love the Ben de Lisi lamp :)
Thanks for the lovely comment! You definitely got some bargains! Even the charity shops near me have wised up to Hornsea and are selling pieces for about £15. I'm going to a car boot sale tomorrow and hopefully will find some bargains.

Great finds! I have that coffee pot too, also from a car boot. I love Midwinter ceramics (have added to my collection recently: http://bit.ly/qmzbig) and have also developed a bit of a thing for West German pottery: http://bit.ly/nFVRyR. Am looking for a mirror atm to go over my mantle piece. Jo (from www.vintagebrighton.com :-) ) x
