Oh England my boot sale heart
What to do the morning after a 40th party night in the country near Rye, feeling a little worse for wear? Hit a gentle boot sale on mass, I loving going in a group and seeing what finds and objects everyone goes for. So no further a do here are our finds from the booty on glorious sunny day in the English countryside. Ahhhhh
Garage sale in sunny England!
After a great weekend including 40th Party, a boot sale topped off with a beach walk in Rye, it was time to head home. We needed to make a move as we had a long drive back from Rye, nudge nudge, wink wink! As soon as we did my fella and I both looked at each other and smiled knowingly. No words needed as we had both spotted a garage sale sign on the way to the beach walk when both our heads nearly fell off driving past. We popped into the sale, I didn’t buy anything. Chatting to the Woman who ran it we found out, she did it for herself and neighbours every week during the summer (grey pound). She told me this in her sun top from her deckchair through her Mr Ed style garage door, half open, loved her relaxed style. Another coo of the day was I spotted two well know dealers faces I recognised from Portobello, ohhhh err. Oh I we got caught by our friends as they drove past the garage sale, well they wouldn’t expect anything less!
