Yesterdays finds-some more bags-Quelle Surprise!!

Uh-oh! Yes, I'm like a magnet where bags are concerned-the numbers have gone up on last weeks post now-ha ha!! I couldn't resist and in my defence, I don't have any already in these sort of styles-so that's ok isn't it? These are all from the Chigwell boot sale, yesterday :-)

Black leather Cosci Italian mini flap quilted bag with chain strap, £1

Vintage Burberry tan leather saddle bag, 50p

Vintage Louis Feraud black leather quilted bag with chain strap, 50p

UPDATED TO ADD-Pamcasso queried the number of bags I had now-these 3 now add the total to 22!! ha ha!!

My son, Chris-the stylist!! Ha Ha!!

Today I was the taxi service to my older son Chris and his friend, for the boot sale in Chigwell Essex-not that I needed prompting to go anyway!!!

Well, once we got there, they went their way and I went mine. After an hour or so, Chris found me and said "Mum, I've found a Celia Birtwell dress-well, I think it is, come and see". Well, I was intrigued and thought bless him, he's found a floral dress but odds on it wouldn't be Celia Birtwell. I was so wrong-ha ha!! He got there first and held it up to show me!!

The one in the middle is the one he found-aahhh!! it was only £2, in my size as well, so the boy did good!! I've trained him well-ha ha!! He is under instruction to find an Ossie Clark now-well, you never know!! I found on my own today a Louis Feraud Black leather bag for 50p, a Levi's California t shirt for 50p, a black mini quilted a la chanel style bag for £1, 2 pairs of brand new Topshop earrings for £1 each and an authentic Burberry tan saddle bag for 50p!! Bargains galore, I will post piccys later!

Have a lovely weekend everyone-next week is school holidays so in between seeing my mum as it's her birthday, I will be going to see the Sex and the City movie-can't wait- and the boys want to see the new Indiana Jones film!
