Sunday Car Booty Looty

There's been a bit of car boot withdrawal going on here so off I went with my trusty trolley this morning to find a wonderful array of goodies just sitting there waiting for me!


Came over all Downton Abbey when I saw these exquisite ladies kid gloves .... they are so dainty

Double sided 1950s placemats in original box and unused



Don't think I will be doing any of this but the pics are great and the ads too for Tala bakeware




 I've been looking for one of these old tills for ages ..... the bell still works when the money drawer opens but I need to find a key to be able to lift the lid to put a till roll in.  Just needs a gentle rub down & polish and it will be ready to use .... can you see what some cheeky wag has written inside the drawer?

Always wanted one of these too ;-)






Some books that caught my eye about childcare in the 1940s/50s ..... for some reason I don't seem to have a cover shot of one of them by HMSO called Nursery Schools & Nursery Classes ..... Ofsted would have kittens if they saw this!

    Extraordinary finds. Laughed my head off at the message in the bottom of the till. Particularly like the book on cake icing. The illustrations are wonderful..............

    A local shop here still uses these tills - and handwritten order bills and receipts! Love the gloves.

    You go to some good car boots.
    Gloves are, of course, wonderful.
    Sure my nan had those table mats.
    The till is great. How lucky to find it at a boot.

    Super finds again. The till was just like one we had when my parents had a shop in your neck of the woods ... but don't recall a message inside so couldn't have been ours!

    What would we do without car boots!!! I'm dreading the winter when they are few and far between! What lovely bits you got.

    I used to go to Christian Endeavour holiday homes with my mum, dad and brother when I was little. We never had a book like that though. Love the till.
    Love from Mum

    My goodness, you're lucky. I never find any antiques like those at our car boots. The kid leather gloves are amazing. Thanks for popping by today. x

    The cake decorating book looks very familiar I'm sure we had one in our house when I was a child - my Mum had one of those icing syringes, but it was much easier to use a bag. Mind you I haven't piped a cake in many, many years!
