Addicted to bootsales

Hi my name is Jody and I’m addicted to bootsales…

Seriously! I went last sunday again and I’m probably going to go next sunday too because my OH’s mum is going to be selling some bits. Especially since I’m not an early riser, this is odd for me to want to drag myself out of my bed on my day off at some ridiculous time in the morning to effectively look at others peoples junk.. but it’s so addictive! Anyone else a Boot sale junkie? Infact those of you in the US do you even know what a Boot sale is? I’ve heard you don’t have them over there.

Anyway last sunday I got some £50 brand new Dorothy Perkin shoes for £4! Plus my OH’s mum bought em for me (we met her and her husband there to look around) so I didn’t actually pay a pretty penny for them:D The women selling them said she’s always so busy that she buys stuff, doesn’t try it on then get’s home to find out it doesn’t fit and because she’s so busy she doesn’t have time to take em back so she sells it all dirt cheap at the bootsale, crazy lady. (can you see why it’s so addictve?)

For anyone wondering wht they look like:

DP shoes There more silver than in this pic but you get the gist.

I have loads of projects I want to do atm but I am doing a ton of overtime to actually pay for the move end of this month, also why I’m busy, so I don’t have as much time as I would like and when I do, I’m too tired and really I should be thinking about packing up all my stuff ready for moving. I hate packing, I like unpacking but not packing it up:(

Me, I love flea markets and antique malls (a bit of a misnomer). I am thinking there may be some simalarity-is it what it sounds like? Do a group of folks gather and see their stuff out of their trunks or on tables? Anyway-any time you can get things you didn’t even know you wanted at a price you can’t believe, that’s addictive.

That sums it up a lot better than I ever could ‘Anywhere you can get things you didn’t know you wanted at a price you can’t believe’ hehe. And yes it is exactly that; Gather in a field with cars lined up, boots wide open and tables in front of cars with all the goodys on! I may take a pic tomorrow to show you:)
