Then on the very last aisle as me and my daughter were wandering along, a lady happened to get up from a chair by her stall and as we were on the look out for some wooden fold up chairs and I noticed she had 2, I rushed back to check if they were for sale.
They were looking a little grubby, with a bluey coloured seat but when she said £1.50 each I snapped them up.
I'd gone to the boot fair with my Mother-in-Law as well and when me and D met up with her she informed me they were a genuine pair of 60s chairs, certainly worth more than £1.50! (she had also bagged a gorgeous original oil painting of Thames barges for £7!).
As soon as I got home I got out the Cif and gave them a good clean and was amazed at the gorgeous duck egg blue seat that was hiding underneath the grime!
Nothing feels quite so good as a boot fair bargain does it!
What bargains did you find at the boot fair or charity shop lately?

I haven't done the rounds of one this summer at all yet. Tsk. Good find you!
What a fab find - just what I'm looking for to go with a little table in my conservatory.
I nearly always lose out at boot fairs - I should have learnt by now to buy it when I see it, not to dither over something - should I, shouldn't I - and then someone beating me to it!
Ooooo fab find, great colour! Kirsty x
