My first table top sale

I've been to hundreds of car boot sales, done Ebay to death and I'm a regular in the local charity stores yet I have never attended a table top or jumble sale. Every time I've drove past the advertising banners something else has clashed with that day, or the weather has been too grim, or in fact I just made excuses and never thought it would be worth giving it a go. So for the first time on Saturday I set my alarm and made it my mission not to laze around the house and to see if there were any bargains to be had.

The first stall I came across was a lady my size and her rail was full of Topshop, River Island and Urban Outfitters. I had a field day! Bought 3 100% silk blouses (one of them I'm going to have to tape my boobs to make fit, or sell it on Ebay), a huge Urban Outfitters bag (its amazing the amount of stuff I carry around daily) and a large vase for the mantle piece all for a £12. Not too bad considering at last weeks car boot sale one girl wanted £15 for exactly the same Topshop blouse I picked up at this sale. So all washed and ready for wear today!

Another stall were selling jewellery (and trying to sell small worn out teddy bears to my bemused offspring). I found this sterling silver necklace for £1 and hand made earrings too for £1. The reason I bought them, wasn't just their beautiful colour, but simply their weight. Or should I say lack of it. I don't know about everyone else but I cant stand heavy earrings that pull on my ears and I have a fear of developing Grannyish droopy earlobes. Erratic fears or what?!?

I'm a bit flat with words today. This month is full of very high highs and very low lows for me so I'm struggling with a massive yo-yo of emotions. The weather change doesn't help, making me grab jeans and boots again!
