In the knowledge that we are almost at the end of the car boot sale season, I went fair distances on Saturday in search of things to buy. My route took me across country along lanes and byroads and, as it was still very early, wildlife was out in large numbers. As I swerved around the tenth or eleventh pheasant, I mused on the joke nature played on them - delicately camouflaged so as not to be seen by predators but so stupid that they cannot stay hidden.
Here are some of the things I collected today ....
Lovely painted paper mache coffee filter paper holders. I don't understand why anyone would want a coffee filter paper holder, even one as beautiful as these, as it seems to me that they are the ultimate dust collectors. However, I didn't buy these to sell - they are staying in my collection.
Pretty trios and a very damaged but charming porcelain flower box.
A velvet hat box with the strangest porcelain flower decoration glued to the top and vintage crochet gloves.
Carved wood panels and vintage wooden shoe shapers ...
Isn't he great? No hint of camouflage here!
