Heres a close up. I must admit they are much more shiny in real life.Anyway we took Harry for a little Holiday to Norfolk in the caravan last week and the weather was really kind to us and we all had a great time.
Harry went in the sea for the first time and i will put a video up of it when i figure out how to do it as it is really funny.
We always go to a few car boots while we are down there and these are some of my finds from this trip.
A gorgeous victorian photo album thats just itching to be altered for 50 pence. Heres a pic of it open and look how the pages are all aged and grungy.I love the Gothic arch shapes of the windows to.
A bag full of vintage glass beads for £3.00
6 cabinet cards for 50 pence.
A bag of semi precious stone pendants for £1.00
A silver plated double frame for 25 pence.
A pair of reproduction art nouveau frames for 50 pence.
I also got a huge bag of assorted seed beeds and findings for £2.00, a really unusual and weird doll for £3.00 and 5 paper back novels for £1.00.
So i am going to have fun now this winter when the gardening season is over and do some altered art projects.

Oooh, you've set me off now Robert! I want to go scrounging a car boot sale. I've had a pitch at one a couple of times but never been browsing round one.
You got a lot of lovely goodies there. I love that album and the art deco frames.
