So for my American friends, a bit more to add about car boot sales. Here in the UK, garage sales are not common at all - people have very small houses and no land/garages most of the time and additionally estate sales are not a thing. If someone passes away either the family clear the property out or they get a house clearance company in - who generally charge for their service. Often the house clearance people then sell the things at the car boot sales - they are my fave kind of sellers as they usually are a bit cheaper as they want to shift the stuff much quicker and don’t have sentimental attachment to their stuff! They’ll often be at the boot sales week after week. This car boot didn’t seem as typical as they are in the rest of the UK as there seemed like a lot more dealers there, but also started at a very sociable time. A majority of sales start around 6:30am or thereabouts.

[@user-cf8sn3nv5b]

I totally agreed with your comments. Wouldn’t it be good to go to a estate sale here in the UK

[@ThisisJo]

@@user-cf8sn3nv5b it would! Slightly jealous of that - well, that and the giant thrift stores!

[@andreaschmall5560]

A house clearance company sounds as if it's the same thing as an estate sale that has a company handling it instead of the family.

[@ThisisJo]

@@andreaschmall5560 yeah, sort of. Except they literally just clear the house. No sales take place or anything like that. And obviously the estate makes no money from the possessions - it actually costs them to get rid. I used to work in social housing until recently, and I can tell you how sad it is to see antique and vintage furniture just thrown away.

[@ThisisJo]

@@user-cf8sn3nv5b definitely! Kind of jealous it’s not a thing here!

I love car boot sales!!!! Next time you go to London you should meet up with Mr. Carrington another you tuber and he always goes to the car boots 👍🏻👍🏻

[@leftcoastrevivals]

I’d love that!

[@Georgina-tf4cc]

The set you were looking at in the red velvet lined case and wondering if it was silver or silver plate, is a spoon and pusher for infants to learn how to eat their first solid food, the spoon is held in one hand and the food is pushed into it; these sets were very often given as Christening gifts.

[@AudraLeigh01]

Medford, OR is the home of Harry & David. This sign was on their crate of Pears circa 1940s. They shipped everywhere. Very cool to see!

[@milham76]

Made me smile to hear you say "five quid"? You're really adjusting to England well! I'm from the Cotswolds so really looking forward to your next episode.

[@leftcoastrevivals]

Jesse said the other day “I really could live in London” ☺️ Maybe one day! We really love it and feel at home there.

[@milham76]

You should try it for a year or two - pretty expensive but you two would fit so well into the 'pub' scene as you're so social.

[@lindaplunkett1864]

London car boots are more like flea markets than car boots outside of London, if you are ever near Essex then they have loads of massive boot sales at the weekends and throughout the week. Someone was asking when is best to go, mostly boot sales are held in the Summer due to the weather-this must have been filmed awhile ago as it’s freezing here currently 😂

Hi Laura, you were looking at a spoon and what you thought was perhaps something for oysters, what that is, is a spoon and what is called a pusher, at one time very popular as children's eating utensils before they graduated to a sharp pronged fork. Love your channel. Lesley, Victoria, BC. Canada.

🙏🏼 Laura🌟 , so enjoyed watching you pick over at the car boots! , next time I’m in London defo going to Pimlico in the morning to find some vintage jewellery, ( loved the brass rings - you have such a wonderful eye , so many bargains 👏🏼) i’ll visit the Tate Britain too just around the corner on the river Thames to see some amazing art 💖🌟🕊🇬🇧
