Bargains without jumble sales

 we don't get many jumble sales now and the ones we do get are usually in the mornings and that's a problem as hubby's balance is not good then 

but I still love vintage so turned to ebay recently as you can get some bargains at the moment, not very good to sell though 

I wanted some usable kitchen pans to add a bit of colour in the kitchen and these were in amazing condition they  look better on the shelves than my old metal pans


Another bargain although not vintage this joules duvet cover because we upgraded from a king size quilt to a super king size  the covers of this size are really expensive especially anything with a name I managed to get this one for £20 it's not new but it's immaculate.


I found some more vintage  jewellery too. 




Reverse carved 1980s next brooch and clip earrings 


An interesting piece of silver 






Enamel art deco swallow brooch.



Not sure if this is indian 





This is huge it's only glass but  very pretty. 



Glass cameo on really long chain.

  1. Just today I came across the details for a Jumble Sale in January - as you say they are such a rare thing now. I've made a note!

  2. We never seem to have any jumble sales locally any more. It's a shame as I really used to enjoy them.

  3. Jumble sales here in Penkridge don't seem to happen anymore, although there are various car boots being held, normally full of tat! I love your Joules duvet cover, I'm very into their clothes. Do you think the bracelet could be Persian, its definitely got an 'east' feel about it and the swallow brooch is fabulous. Hugs Gill Xx

    1. Rushall isn’t far at all is it, I haven’t seen any jumble sales round here for ages. We have 5 charity shops here and although I’ve found a bargain or two, I only buy now if it’s a need. Gill Xx

  8. Loving your anglepoise lamp on the shelf, Eileen!
    That bangle is definitely Indian, oxidised metal and modern but very pretty nevertheless. Loving the fish, it's got a mid-century Scandinavian look to it, hasn't it?
    I've not been to a jumbo in years. I find loads of amazing bargains on ebay, too! xxx

    2. Thanks for the update! That German piece doesn't look like a fish at all now, I love it even more!
      That lamp was a great buy. We've got a couple of Pifco angelpoise lamps and an amazing 1960s one by Herbert Terry (the inventor of the anglepoise lamp) called a "Cyclops*, it's a crazy looking thing. Cost me £5 from Forces Support! xxx
