<p>[QUOTE="KSW, post: 802209, member: 8708"]Not a good start as most sellers had been frightened off by yesterday’s rain!. The kids found a few bits of tat to keep them happy and we headed home. Happened to see a sign that said SALE TODAY (of what would be helpful!) and found a pavement charity sale that was just packing up. </p><p>Found this Italian leather jewellery box ( the Italians do leather so well don’t they) with a random Italian Caravanning logo on the back (?!).</p><p>Also two silver crucifixes - didn’t realise the silver foil looking one was silver until I got it home which was a nice surprise as it’s a big chunk of silver. The other one has turquoise or glass in it, both on sterling chains. Also a gold plated odd looking cross, a pretty blue costume bracelet and the lovely lady selling pressed the little book into my hand as I obviously looked like I needed salvation!. Think it’s quite old and has some sweet pictures in it. </p><p>They were raising money for the church heating hence the religious theme. </p><p>Total spend £2.50 and gave her a donation so the day got better!</p><p>[ATTACH=full]191746[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]191747[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]191748[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]191749[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]191750[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]191751[/ATTACH][/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
