Drizzle & designer crockery

It was drizzling this morning so I didn't expect much from the car boot sale but when I got there I was more than pleasantly surprised.
A family were clearing out some very upmarket clutter and I managed to wedge myself into the scrum to snatch up a few bargainous treasures, like this cottage chic enamel jug for a mere 50p...

I went back to the same stall several times as they kept on bringing out more goodies.
Designer- & studio homeware galore for crazee bargain bucket prices.
How about these retrotastic plates & cups by Rosenthal for £1.50...
FANTASTISCH!

I also found this Mari bowl by Iittala for £1...

I was surprised but very delighted that no one else had grabbed hold of these fabulous bowls & plates...

I snapped them up for £4. They are by bodo sperlein & the pattern is called Arcadia. You can still buy the pasta bowls & side plates on-line for £15-£35 a pop.
Today's super duper boot sale bargain has to be this cute pair of Bianco Nero patterned cups by Missoni Home at £1...yes that's for the two...pretty darn amazing, eh?!
This particular pattern is still available to buy but they seem to have changed the actual design of the cups.

I also bagged a cast iron Japanese tetsubin teapot & a vintage trivet all from the same seller.
My total spend? £12...not bad at all!
Hope everyone has had a lovely weekend.
Peace & love,
Jem

Hiya Jem!
I'm in awe of your crockery bargains. That Missoni stuff, even to a patterned-plate phobic like me is absolutely gorgeous. What on earth could posess anyone in their right minds to part with such fabulousness?
Obviously your weather must have been a darn sight better than the atrociousness going on around here. it hasn't stopped raining all day.
Loads of love,

That is an amazing haul, gosh those Missoni cups would look good in my kitchen...50p each you say? I'll give you £2 each and you've quadrupled your money! ;-)

I've done nothing but watch The Neverending Story (first time in about 20 years), read blogs and amuse myself with Facebook's True Blood application...

What an awesome and random set of bargains. I love the little green glass bowl. Did they fling the sweeties into the deal? x
