My oldest daughter is at a drama club every morning this week, so I felt brave enough to visit the very busy Wimbledon Car Boot sale again with just one child. Yet again it did not disappoint and I came home with a rather impressive vintage haul!
Here’s what I bought…
3 1960s dresses,
1 1970s max dress,
3 1960s long line bras
1 pair of 1960s stockings
1 1940s sweater
1 1940s handbag
1 bangle (possibly Bakelite)
TOTAL SPEND £48
I am very very happy as everything I bought is in perfect condition, so no repairs or dry cleaning bills!
This time I decided to do a little video to show off my new vintage finds. I’ve never done any kind of vlog before so please bare with me while I get the hang of it!
I’ll try and do outfit posts with my new dresses very soon.

August 8, 2013 at 2:21 pmIt’s amazing! Much better than the weekend. It is soooo busy though. I always go with Lila and it’s a struggle getting the buggy round.

August 8, 2013 at 3:36 pmOooh, I miss England so very much. Have lived there a few times but alas, now, am too old for a work permit so must resign myself to my native country – Canada! Would love to go to a “car boot sale” at Wimbledon…thanks for letting me live vicariously. 🙂 – Chris @avintagelife.wordpress.com
