Boot Sale Vintage Haul — Come With Us to Hunt for Treasure

Wednesday mornings mean one thing for me and Brad. We're up at 4:30, flask of tea in hand, and on the road to our favourite boot sale.

It's not your average boot sale. The vintage and antique sellers outnumber everyone else, which means it's exactly our kind of place. The kind of place where you never quite know what you're going to find — but you almost always find something worth bringing home.

This week was a good one.

What We Found at the boot sale

We came back with studio pottery, a piece of mid-century Scandinavian design, a 1960s G Plan bedside table, an art deco glass light shade from the 1930s, an engraved brass tray, a folk art papier-mâché plate hand-painted with the most charming forest scene, a cuckoo clock complete with pine cone weights, a Metamec clock in actual yellow — and yes, there is a very important difference between a yellow clock and a white clock that has yellowed — a vintage spy board game, and a bottle of 007 aftershave that, against all the odds, still smells exactly as you'd imagine.

I talk through every piece back in the studio — what drew me to it, what era it's from, and where I think it might end up.

Why I Love the Boot Sale

There is genuinely nothing quite like it. The early start, the fresh air, the walking, the not knowing. Whether you are buying to resell or buying to fill your home with beautiful things, the boot sale rewards an open mind every single time.

You never know what might catch your eye. Today for me it was a horse bin with lion handles. I know. You'll have to watch to understand.
