Last weekend we attended a "boot sale" that is held at Wilton House once a year on Bank holiday Monday. Despite it being more than the usual boot sale, with lots of antique traders, we have never had good luck there with regards to finding pretty or unsual vintage things so I didn't hold out much hope for this sale. Still, you have to keep trying because you never know when that hidden gem could be discovered!
Prices proved to be very high in many cases... a damaged and very badly stained old parasol for £100, a 1970's bike for £950 so I did not expect to come home with anything special yet again!
You may remember a couple weeks ago I posted about missing out on the wicker lounger at another boot sale. I admit I was quite gutted that day. However, finding this beauty for a fair price raised my spirits no end!
The fabric has holes and tears.
It is filthy from being stored in a shed for many years and it has spiders nests on it but it will be worth the great effort of carrying it back to the car (a long way).
It will take alot of work but I am so looking forward to tackling this and recovering it with a beautiful fabric and pretty trim.
We found some other beauties too including these gorgeous old curtains which are just perfect for our bedroom! I will post a photo when they hung.
I will leave you with Penny's picture of the week....
