THE CAR BOOT SALE:
Lady Manners School, Bakewell, Derbyshire
‘When I bought the ship paintings, it was one of those weird things that only can happen at a car boot sale. I found one, which was 50p, then walked to another stall where there was another ship picture that I liked, which was 75p. By the end of the day, I’d bought five! I’ve now got about nine, and I’m still trying to find some smaller ones to fill the gaps. I never intended to buy ship
NATALIE’S BUYING TIP:
‘Always carry change with you. It gives you more haggling power.’

THE PURCHASES:
paintings but sometimes at a car boot, things just spring out at you. I’ve displayed them on the wall on the way to the toilet, so when I direct people to the toilet, I say, “Go past the ship wall!” ‘The Queen tray is actually in really bad condition and very faded, but I just loved it! ‘The storage jar is a Hornsea make – they did loads of beautiful designs in the 1950s and 1960s – but I got it cheaply because it’s damaged. I just use it for display but sometimes I hide money in it. ‘I liked the teacups and saucers simply because they’re pretty. When I bought the jug, the man selling it laughed at me for wanting it! My rule is always to haggle, but when something is so cheap, I can’t give them the money quickly enough!’
DESIGN TIP: PAINTINGS MAKE A STRIKING DISPLAY
