Saturday I had an awesome time bargain hunting over at a newly discovered Rummage Sale that took place at “Foal Farm” located in Biggin hill Kent.
The rummage sale is a cross between a bootfair and jumble sale. There is absolutely loads of bric a brac to look through, plus toys and collectables.
Foal Farm is actually an animal rescue sanitary so they also have there own pet shop on site selling reasonably priced items.
There is both stalls inside and outside to explore. I really did found some great vintage treasure for very little money at all.
Here’s a round up of just some of the items I brought…
Stunning silver plated candle stick holder Marked “E.P Zinc Silver Plated Made in England”
Sadly I only got the one, though I’m sure I spotted two of these when I first approached the stall. I didn’t buy this right away and that’s why I probably missed out on bagging the set. However this didn’t cost much at all. At the end of the sale we were told to fill a bag for a £1… Yes £1! This was one of the many items I added to my pound bag.
Crystal tray and miniature crystal bottles…
I’m unsure if this crystal dish is meant for serving snacks etc. I however thought it would be great for my dresser. Different items of makeup or jewellery can be placed in the different dividers.
The two glass bottles I brought in my bag for a £1 bargain, where the dish cost me 70p.
Vintage Hand Mirror For Dresser…
This mirror is really pretty and I was only charged a £1 by the stall holder.
Paris Style Sweet Tin…
This cute paris style sweet tin was a steal at 30p. Its great for sewing materials or simply just storage for all them little odds and ends.
Tiny Vintage Trinket
I don’t know why but I love this very tiny little trinket. Its big enough to fit just one ring but its beautifully designed and was one of my favourite buys of the day.
Shabby Chic Oil Burner…
A very cute little oil burner that I again loaded into my a bag for a quid.
Small Crystal Decanter…
I don’t know what it is about decanters and glass bottles but I’m really ending up with a tidy collection. I think its all down to a book I own on creating Vintage gifts. One section has this great idea on using pretty decanters to store bubble baths and scented powders. Again this came in my bag for a pound stash.
Shabby Cream Box…
Not like I haven’t got enough already, I couldn’t resist this cream wooden box that I brought for 50p. The lid lifts up for storage, plus it has a spacious drawer. A perfect jewellery box painted or left as it is.
Vintage Bone China Soap Dish…
What can I say, it was 25p and its very pretty indeed. Its bone china and has all the markings on the back.
Book Plates…
I’m unsure why I brought these as I’ve been trying to downsize my book collection. I just found them really sweet. Simply full in your name and stick to the inner cover of your book. They are old, though I’m not to sure just how old. Anybody else seen these before? These were added to my bag for a pound (I actually ended up filling 3 bags for a £1, hence the reason why I can’t share all my items here today)!
Small Decorative Porcelain Perfume Bottle…
This is a miniature perfume bottle that’s really decorative and looks great on a dresser. It was just 50p and I love it! Not to sure what the last part of the markings indicate but like it all the same.
I also got a beautiful shabby chic wooden chair and a lovely little shelf unit for £4, that I plan to refurbish with some Annie Sloan chalk paint. I will be sure to share once I get started.
