Hello all! Today is carboot sale day, but unfortunately it’s been cancelled today due to the rain from yesterday. But last week was the first carboot sale of the year, and so here’s what I bought!
This lovely dress was new with tags and cost me £3. It was only originally from F&F at Tesco, but it’s a really pretty summery print and I’m sure I will find an occasion to wear it. I love the 50’s shape and style of it.
This cute china sandwich tray and matching teacup were £1.50 for the set. Unfortunately there was no saucer for the tea cup, but the sandwich tray was too sweet to resist so bought the set! I love the floral pattern on it and pretty edges.
This lovely pink scalloped edge cake plate was only £1 🙂 There was two of them but some other woman nabbed the other!
This brand new Soap and Glory Sit Tight was only £1.50! It’s still in the box and has never been opened, and sells for over £16 in Boots! I’ve heard really good thing about it too, it’s meant to be great for firming. Hopfully it at least smells nice.
This pretty blue dress was only £2. Originally from Primark, it also has a blue slip underneath, and it’s my size and fits perfectly. I used to have the same dress in black but didn’t wear it as I hate wearing black dresses! But this blue is really lovely and I’ve already worn it to work with tights and a cardi.
This pretty playsuit is originally from Papaya at Matalan, and it has a really colourful floral print all over. This was only £1 so I couldn’t turn it down! I’m sure I will wear it to the pool and beach on holiday.
These New Look jeggings were only 60p and look like they have never been worn!
I was really lucky with my carboot sale buys, especially as it was the first of the year and I wasn’t sure there would be many people there. But it was reasonably full and I’m glad I found so many clothes that fit me and are all in as new condition! I hope the carboot is on again next Sunday! Soon I’m also going to be selling my cupcakes there for only £1 each. But I’m a little bit nervous as I’ve never done an event before, and I’m not really sure a carboot sale is the best place to sell. Hmmm I will have to wait and see how brave I feel!
Also, these two aren’t carboot sale buys, but theres a lovely shop near me called Queen of Threads (they also sell online) and they sell second hand high street items, but only one of each. So it can be a bit hit and miss, but I got these two Primark bird print items and I love them!
This long sleeved bird print blouse was only £6
And this bird print summer dress was only £5! 🙂 Cute!
Have you been to a carboot sale this year yet?
You've found some really good bits! I've been waiting so long for car boot season to come back so I can see what everyone else has been buying!

I love carboot sales & it looks like you found some fantastic items – I love that little pink plate! As for your cupcakes, I'm sure they'll go down a treat – my fingers are crossed for you. Every car boot sale I've been to has had a stall selling cakes ans sweets and they've always been pretty popular – no one likes to browse on an empty stomach!
I haven't been to a carboot sale in ages ! Nice buys 🙂
Beautiful Dreams
This makes me miss carbooting! There's no local ones to me at uni, but when I'm at home over the summer I shall be going every single weekend! 🙂
Love the little plates and teacup, and so jealous you found that S&G product for £1.50! I've been wanting to try it for ages!

You've found some great bits! How early do you tend to go? I'm always scared i'm getting there too late to find anything really great…I usually get there about 10. I did a post the other day about my bootfair bargain from my first of the year…i'm a bootfair junkie 😉 http://www.toothpasteonyourtshirt.blogspot.co.uk/2013/04/bootfair-bargains.html

Your making me want to go to a carboot sale with all your bargains from there. I don't have a car though 🙁
I have the sit tight from Soap&Glory. Its tingles I think which must mean its working.

Love the finds. If you're interested, the pink cake plate is from the Rayware Pink Afternoon Tea Collection and sold in Dunelm Mill. It's just DIVINE! I noticed it yesterday and fell in love, the teapot to match is adorable!!
