We managed to make it to one or two boot fairs in July.
The best one being Boreham boot fair in Essex. On this occasion there were a
lot of sellers, not many buyers and a lot of bargains to be had. We went late
and before long people started packing up, so we grabbed a few bits:
This was only £1, but I knew it wasn’t a good idea as
soon as I bought it. I got it home and the kids argued over it then managed to
get tiny sweets all over the place before I had to confiscate and hide it.
The Horrible Science books were 50p for the whole
stack and the two at the bottom (picked by the Babies) were 20p each. My
younger son loved the Horrible series and learned a lot from them.
These learning books were around 50p each, with the Crayola handwriting practice board £1
GCSE practice books for £1, my older son has missed
so much school, hopefully these will be some help for his GCSE exams next year insh'Allah.
These books were for me and were 50p each, except for The
Bone Clocks which was £2. I really love this writers first book (Cloud Atlas),
so was keen to try another by him. I’ve just started reading We Are All
Completely Beside Ourselves by Karen Joy Fowler and have heard good things
about it.
Somebody kindly gave these to me for free. I may not keep them and will either pass them on or donate to a charity shop, as I use the internet for recipes. But I think I’ll have a quick flick through for inspiration.
This was my fave bargain: a rope of glass crystal
with a sparkly, rainbow AB (Aurora Borealis) finish for 50p. I have a project in mind
for these (see next post 😊)
I really enjoyed bargain hunting. I hope to do one
more boot fair before the summer is out.
