Happy Muslim Mama: Chigwell Row

We managed to visit Chigwell Rise boot sale this morning. I only had an hour to browse because I had to get back home for a dentist appointment , but managed to find a few things. Only saw a small chunk of the market which was enormous because of the nice weather.

Managed to pick upa few craft supplies and two very good books for £1 (the Childrens Encyclopedia is by Dotrling Kindersley who is a favourite of mine, their illustrations and quality just stand out).

Green is my favourite colour and the shades in the ink-pad just make my heart sing. I have a few of these in different colours now, but not sure how to use them, will have to experiment.

I was all out of gift bags, so this batch for £2 will come in useful. there are a couple of new baby ones (which always get used) and the rest will come in useful next Eid (good thing about gift bags is that they need minimum storage space). At £2-£3 each for nice ones, I don’t think I would buy them new. I especially love the green and pink one with the diamante buckle on the right. I think I’ll save that one for someone special.

This came in a little back-pack and cost £2. When I opened it, it just unpacked itself. The kids were delirious. Only thing is, I can’t get it back in the bag now.
