Since wednesday is a car boot day for me I have decided to do a weekly 'thrifty finds' post (mmm.....I wonder how long I will keep it up?)
pretty mop buttons, some more embroidered tray cloths, and china posy earrings without their clips
a new rose enamel bowl
and my favourite, a vintage rose deckchair, not my usual colours, but I love, love, love it.
It wasn't for sale, the man was just using it to sit on, but a persuaded him to let me have it for a fiver.
nothing to do with thrifting, but I thought I'd share some photos I took a couple of weeks ago of my rapidly multiplying potted flowers. It such a nice change from this view.
Lots of very different and very pretty florals.

Love all your finds, especially the enamel bowl and deckchair. Your plants also look beautiful - I love the mix of containers you've used xx
ReplyDeleteThe deckchair is so cute :)
ReplyDeleteHow funny, I keep imagining the lovely man now with nowhere to sit and you trapsing off with his floral chair ;)

ReplyDeleteI cannot believe you were cheeky enough to ask the man to buy his deck chair!
ReplyDeleteGreat buys though!

Love all your little flower pots and am inspired ...LOVE the MOP buttons and mostly - love that you got a chair that wasn't for sale !!
ReplyDeleteooh preeeeeeety Jess! I adore the chair (you meany!..poor chairless chap -mind you I think I'd have tried that tactic too!!) and I love that french enamelware, I've never seen a lovely pink one like yours but I have some plates in blue just the same
ReplyDeleteYour pots of flowers look gorgeous I've been thinking about doing some pansies in teacups lately, with all those pretty rosebud ones I can't seem to sell!
Have a lovely weekend x
Oh my goodness! such memories have come floding back to me - we used to have those deckchairs when i was a kid!! x

ReplyDeleteI love that chair! I'm not sure I would have given it a second glance though- I do that to frequently, and always regret it. I guess my decorator brain hasn't "fully developed" yet. :P
ReplyDeleteoh my goodness my parents had those chairs for camping !
