Car boot finds and Dunster castle

Another weekend is over - wasn't the weather great on Saturday.  I'm actually going to do my post in reverse today, only because I was extremely excited about going to my first 2010 car boot sale yesterday so wanted to share my finds with you first!  We woke to slightly disappointing weather but thought we may as well go.

After spending the first half and hour finding goodies, it gradually fizzled out, but nevertheless I wasn't disappointed with my finds.

Already having a jug full of coloured knitting needles, hubby did wonder why I would want more, but heh, you can never have to much of anything!

Jack in his quest to find pretty china for me was rather disappointed there wasn't much that I liked, however he did find this -

how did he know I wanted one?  At only £3.00 I couldn't argue.  I've seen similar ones at antique centres for considerably more.  I think I'm going to paint the surround as it's looking slightly tired, but for now I'll leave it alone.

Don't ask me why I like this picture, but I do. You know when some things just jump out at you - this certainly did.  The boys and hubby didn't even think it was worth the £1 I paid for it........

My last buy were some pretty cowslips at 50p per pot so we've planted them under our trees in the garden.  I wish I had got more - maybe next time!

Now, back to the start of the weekend.  We went off on another National Trust day which seem to be a regular thing for us, and as we are members it makes a reasonably cheap day out.  Dunster Castle was our destination.  A bit of a journey for us, but we drove through some pretty villages on the way, and we stopped off at Dunster Village before heading to the Castle.

It's a piccie overload I'm afraid as the grounds were so pretty.

Hubby's away all week with work, so I'm hoping this week will whizz by ready for the 3 day weekend!
