find of the week

Hasty post this, don't know where the week has gone.... Just thought I'd show you my bargain of the year so far ;)

Last Sunday Maddie did her usual 'lets save the really early wake up for the day no one has to get up' routine and I found myself up dressed, fed and watered by an ungodly hour. Nothing for it but to head on out to the local car boot where die hards had been wandering since 0530.
I spied the above beauty in a filthy condition and held my breath with excitement as I awaited the asking price.

£ 3 , yes you read that right :)

Back home and fully scrubbed with Flash, de - linted ( there was a load of that) and oiled, she's working like a dream. The same make as mine too, so bobbins and feet can be shared. It's Lilys of course and she's very proud. My old Singer I gave her for her 10th birthday promptly broke down on the first outing, so she's been waiting a long time.

It's crochet frenzy here too. Lils has been knocking these out at speed to sell at the summer fete at school. Beaded bracelets, rings, necklaces and anklets to raise money for the NSPCC. Crochet club is up and running and the production line is hot !

See you next week !
