A bundle of vintage lovelyness

You know I like to potter around car boot and table top sales don't you?   Well, last Sunday there was a big one in the local leisure centre.  I do try to make the effort to go and have a pootle about if it is on, but it is very crowded as they cram a lot of tables into the space.  

People barge into you and grab things as you look at them, it is not a place for the faint-hearted, and manners seem to be left at the door!

But I did manage to pick up this.... a bundle of vintage tray cloths and doilies, for just one shiny pound!

One whole super shiny pound coin - what a bargain.  (Actually, the woman looked at me as though I was nuts, perhaps she thought it might not sell!)

Look at all these lovely bits and pieces.  Did I tell you it was just one shiny pound?

So, there are little bits, lacy bits, embroidered bits.

Covers for the backs of chairs - I remember my Nana having those when I was younger.  Woe-betide if you messed them up!

Possibly hankies, but they are a little small I think.  Perhaps ladies had more delicate noses back then.  I need a Kleenex man-size for my hooter.

Beautifully embroidered tray cloths, a little yellowing in places, but gorgeous all the same.

And this, I think it is a small pillow or cushion case.  Pretty nevertheless.

I have a cunning plan of what to do with these bits, so watch this space  :)
