"They put me in the right direction by telling me who I had to ask. After six to eight weeks I had permission."
Lee hopes the car boot sale will bring the Inglewood community together.
"When it gets bigger more people will be involved. It's a way to meet people in our community. By having a clean-out people may be able to make a little bit of money which can make all the difference."
The first Inglewood car sale took place on May 16.
"We had eight cars and one ute show up, which is impressive for the first one. There was a wide range of things, from car parts to old suitcases, bric-a-brac and kindling. I've received a lot of positive feedback. I hope it grows and grows and becomes something everyone enjoys."
Lee sold her craft works at the car boot sale.
"I make simple macramé plant holders using old lampshades. These were very popular at the sale. People really love upcycled items."
The sale will take place every Sunday in the old railway station car park on Matai St.
"I thought it would be a great place as it generates a lot of foot traffic."
She says there is no cost for stallholders.
"People can just rock up on the day and park their vehicle."
