There were amazing finds to be had at cheap prices at many weekend and mid-week booting rendevous, not so many now. I hardly ever visit, I really need to sell before I start buying again! xLouisehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03800196831833931842noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4637229002646626595.post-15793912566177040452009-06-30T23:27:59.184+01:002009-06-30T23:27:59.184+01:00Oh YUM!

I trust all is well with your Mr. Bloom!! :O)<br />Thanks so much for explaining Car Boot Sale..I didn't really know but guessed that your "boot" was our trunk. Yes, we have these kind of sales.. at flea markets, generally. Sometimes, a peddler will bring a little open trailer behind his car and put his "stuff" on the trailer to show. Then, some of the flea markets have "booths" that an individual seller can rent and set up her tables and wares.<br />Does Mr. Bloom help you in your boot sales? Or, does he have a nice supper cooked when you get home? tee hee...if he does, tell him that I told YOU that you are a lucky young lady....<br />xo bjbjhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04432398383127199206noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4637229002646626595.post-52667500123749151912009-06-29T21:43:18.848+01:002009-06-29T21:43:18.848+01:00Hi Lucy, your coments re car booting really rang t...Hi Lucy, your coments re car booting really rang true with me.ie have bought at car boots over the last 20 yrs..reluctantly parted with some goodies...and yse bargains are harder to find now!!still go every so often tho...just in case!! best wishes sue xSue Snoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4637229002646626595.post-64836889833403787022009-06-26T20:18:47.967+01:002009-06-26T20:18:47.967+01:00I am disappearing under the boxes I have to take t...I am disappearing under the boxes I have to take to a carboot sale...unfortunately they are always on a Sunday and I usually have to work on that day..exept last Sunday when I went to a giant flea too!! was your at Shepton Mallet??Kayhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16584116146098939783noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4637229002646626595.post-45449649513404274822009-06-26T02:57:51.630+01:002009-06-26T02:57:51.630+01:00I think the term Boot Sale just translates to a lo...I think the term Boot Sale just translates to a lot of fun treasure hunting.
