car boot sale

Clara is back from Edinburgh where she bought two dresses at a car "boot" sale. She is wearing her "Wednesday Adams goes on a picnic" dress on her first day of school.

More skirts, and car boot sales

Hello all,

I have been rather quiet these last few weeks, which is not to say that I haven't been acquiring more pieces from my favorite local consigners. The last time I went into the Pink Alligator, I suddenly had this feeling that second hand stores were perfectly good sources of new seasonal attires. The latest acquisitions are in the photos.

One to close out the summer, the other to bring with me this coming winter to France, as it's both long and machine washable.

Meanwhile daughter Clara went off to Edinburgh rather last minute to help out at the Fringe Festival. There she discovered car boot sales. It sounds doubly thrifty, selling boots out of cars? But no, of course, it's the trunk of the car in British English. When she returns, I will be sure to post her latest Scottish acquisitions.
