On Saturday we went to a jumble sale in aid of Shelter Box/ Haiti. As it was for such a good cause I felt I ought to buy a few bits :) A little bit of Kitsch above and something for next Christmas below.
One can never have enough teasets or spare cups and plates!
Now who could resist this little face, I think she's been sat in the sun too long as the front of her dress is so faded, time for a new dress methinks.
An unused piece of aqua Pyrex.
Even though I went to the book sale last week I still had to get this one inscribed 'To Annabel from Daddy & Mummy Xmas 1960'
Some tiny green glass sundae dishes.
And then what I went for 50p's worth of fabric,
and a jumble of lace for 25p
which was indeed a bargain and took quite a while to unravel.
I mustn't forget this, my 16 yr old declares it to be soooo retro! needs a good clean though.
This one didn't come from the sale we found it in a CS just before Christmas, the picture doesn't do it justice but I have been looking for one of these for a long time just need to give the wood a lick of cream paint.

Just popping in after seeing your link on dollydollop - lucky you, to find such treasures! And for such a good cause! I also love your crafty food on the previous post. I need to spend more time crafting treats and less time snacking on them! :)
One man's jumble is another man's treasure as they say...and what lovely treasures you found! I especially like the embroidered fire screen.
Bellaboo :)

Ooooo, you found quite a collection of lovelies there. Well done and thankyou for sharing.

What a good haul - looks like a proper old fashioned jumble sale. Wish we still had those round here :(
What lovely finds and for a good cause too! I can't wait to hit the jumble & car boot sales this year, I got some real bargains last year! x
what fantastic finds! I love jumble sales, though there are not many around now. :(
I love the rose teacups and matching plates, and the fabric and lace for under £1.00, wow, what a bargain! xxx
What lovely treasures! I've not been to a jumble sale since I was a child,my mum always used to take me to one every Saturday morning.And I can always remember being squashed,and nearly chocking to death on a smarty!!!
Love the teacups, they are so pretty.

I absolutely love seeing what treasures other people have found ! You did well! I especially love the carpet cleaner.
;-)
Love, love, love, the book!
I am a fiend for charity shops and any opportunity to go through old stuff. I know about car boot sales, but not jumbles.
Some lovely goodies. xxx Pixie xxx

Thank you so much for the gorgeous crochet hearts for the BHF sale. i think i will be buying them for my workroom ;) xxx
What a great collection of lovely things, I also believe you can never have to many teasets, I also love robins, which is strange as the english robin was never introduced here in NZ. We do have a lovely native robin which is black but you never see it on anything which is sad and why I'm obsessed with the lovely red-breasted fellow.
I have some clear glass sundae dishes never seen green ones before they're quite pretty and I love that little heart shaped trinket box with the robin on Lucey xx
It's all so pretty! Love that lace - what a bargain - well done :o) Jen x
Great jumble - what are you going to do with that gorgeous lace?
Oh what lovely finds - especially like the plates and the little white rabbit, I've bought a few of them for my middle daughter
x
Lots of lovely finds! Love the felt cakes from the previous post, but you already know I have a thing for cupcakes!
Wow what a haul :)
I remember casseroles coming out of that kind of Pyrex! You made some nice finds at the jumble. x
