The other award I Love your blog was given to me by Merrie from wheretheblackbirdsings like Rondell ,Merrie has made feel welcome and i love her stories about all her doggies.My family are comming home in a few weeks time so i am going to capture my brother and sister-in-law and keep them until i can work this pictures and everything else out.lol.Since i have discovered all of the wondeful blogs about prim and everyones home life and pictures i have not watched tv at all and i can't say i am sorry.You are lovely people and i am so glad i have discovered you all.This is a few pictures of my car boot sale finds. Yes Diane this is yet another basket but its to put christmas goodies in,the stool will be rubbed down and painted,the chicken was given to me by my friend in Shetland its lovely autum colours so it will go nicely at this time of year,the napkins i will prim up.The socks were hand knitted by the lady's grandma and i only paid £2.00 and they are pure wool soft and warm.Thank you again to everyone who takes time to read my blog and leave comments i really do appreciate everyone.Take Care~Kate~

Wait take a close up of the stool. Looks as though there is stenciling on the side. I want to see it before you paint over it. I would maybe rub a dark glaze on it instead of paint.

That bear I made was called Ralph, that is a nice stool did the paint come off with sanding? I think I will do the other chair to match, may as well both look the same. Be good at the boot fair, lol x

We drove by the flea market and there were people out front selling from there trunks and I told my husband it was a car boot sale. He laughed at me.

I like your goodies.
