SHOPPING: Lidlington Carboot Sale 2011!

Starts this weekend! With a sale on Easter Sunday and Easter Monday.

It is set in the gorgeous countryside around our lovely village and on every Sunday (weather premitting) throughout the season. This was always my favorite car boot way before moving to the village myself. It's good to buy at and sell at and if you don't end up doing much of either its a lovely day out for everyone anyway.

UPDATE

Well first car boot went pretty well all things considered. I made a profit of around £20 and got rid of a fair amount of unwanted items. I also managed to find some bargains too:

Beautiful Pink Rhododendron and gorgeous Turquoise Pot (bought separate) to put it in

Lovely little Nautical Lanterns ready for summer garden parties

I also bought a couple of tops and some sewing machine needles which I needed, but spent just £10 so still came away with £10 profit overall - and a bit more of a suntan - so good days work all in all :)
