We were not happy bunnies after our poor plant sales on Saturday. But we still decided to go car booting.
One needs Womble retail therapy.
Here's some of the things we purchased. I haven't photographed everything though:
Two Victorian brass candle sticks. I paid 7 Euros fifty for them. I have eight of them now me thinks? Did you need them Dave? No but could I leave them and walk away? No!
The book is full of fabulous sacred sites in 🇮🇪 Ireland. I have visited some of them especially in Sligo. It's also the personal spiritual journey of the author.
The photos are brilliant. It's more of a browse flick through kind of book for somebody like me with little reading 📚 patience at the moment.
I would rather read blogs or browse and surf the Internet. I am sure I will read it proper in the long dark nights from mid August to April.
A travel bag for personal documents like my Irish passport and money and note books... I paid five Euros for it. My old one is looking shabby and the zip sticks.
I bought the Phil Lynott book for 2 Euros. I already have one book about him. Thin Lizzy are one of my top two favourite Heavy Rock bands along with Kansas and I remember seeing Phil and the lads when I was just 17. Lizzy were brilliant and I am always playing their records.
Lastly I bought a mountain bike for me to occasionally go for a cycle on the repurposed greenways that I often write about on here. I paid 35 Euros for it.
That's the same amount I got for my plants the day before! Hey my plants paid for my bike.
Serependipity or what?🤔
I love ThinLizzy, such great music, I tend to browse charity shops, I do love to use unusual pots for my plants.
ReplyDeleteGreat band Marlene. We also go charity shop shopping. Some of them are very expensive some times.
DeleteWe have a couple of brass candlesticks just like yours. Only 2 though. What do you do with 8?
ReplyDeleteThe mountain bike was a helluva bargain. Happy biking!
I am a womble or Magpie Linda. The candlesticks go for forty Euros in antique shops.
DeleteYour travel bag and cycle were very sensible, useful and value-for-money finds. Just what carbooting was meant for.
ReplyDeleteI always ask the price of anything I like JayCee and am often pleasantly surprised with the price.
Delete"Sacred Messages from Sacred Ireland"... On the cover, is that the famous portal dolmen in The Burren, Co.Clare? Here's a sacred message from Father Jack... "Feck the feckin' feck feck!"
ReplyDeleteOr Mrs Doyle: " Go on, go on.."
ReplyDeleteI love hearing about your carbooting finds!
ReplyDeleteGood to hear Debby. You never know what you will find.
DeleteI'd buy that This Lizzy book too. Great finds Dave but I do wonder about your collection of candlesticks - preparing for a power black-out are you? Or just cornering the market?
ReplyDeleteI love Thin Lizzy TM. It's a book for the long darks nights of August to April. We might need the candles during gale season.
DeleteYou have found lovely treasures. And having earned the price of the bike with your flowers is just perfect
ReplyDeleteI was made up Angela that the plants paid for the bike.
DeleteThose candlesticks look great.
ReplyDeleteThanks Jules.
ReplyDeletePlant money for a bike..I like it!!
ReplyDeleteI thought you would GZ😀.
ReplyDeleteThe candlesticks were a bargain
ReplyDeleteThey were John. I use to pick up many a bargain at the carboot sale at the Countess of Chester hospital car boot sale. Happy days.
