Thrifting or Just plain bargain hunting!

So yesterday after collecting my Ebay mirror I decided to take a trip out to the town next to where I live (only a 20 minute drive). I haven't been there for a while so was looking forward to checking out the charity shops as well as the high street as they have some nice quirky shops (with cheap prices!). 

I came away with a good haul of goodies, the first item I spied was this kitsch water jug:

At a grand price of £1.40 it was destined to be coming home with me! The next bargain spot was this little tea set (not another tea set!!lol). Its such a pretty pattern and you cant beat a bit of floral on a tea cup so I snapped the lot up at £3.99. There was 4 in the set but one was being used at the time of photo:

I also discovered a lovely home wear shop that had lots of shabby chic inspired items at very reasonable prices this little cake stand was reduced to £6:

The heart cushions in the top were also from the same shop £1.50 for the pair.  The 3 cushions at the bottom are rose scented and smell amazing, these were another charity shop find and were still in their box all for £1.25.  The pearl necklace was again charity shop and were 50p!
Another buy in the home shop was these tea towels - very Cath Kidston in style but not in price as they were £3 for the set of 3!

No excuse now for not drying the dishes! The final buy is for my spare bedroom which is currently housing all the hundreds of books I'm working my way through. These bookends are so kitsch I couldn't resist them and they were in the sale for £2.50:

 Not a bad bunch of bargains - successful shopping trip for me!

Happy Weekend.
