Finds for the Week

Saturday night, dirty (but yummy) take-away food eaten, baby in bed so thought I'd get on here for another post to show you my accumulated finds for the week. I've had a couple of sneaky trips the the charity shop this week, also went to a boot sale and a jumble sale today! Yes I actually found a jumble sale to go to and it was a real experience, but will have to blog about it another time as trying to make this a quicky post (first time for everything lol).

So here's my charity finds for this week:

These plates are Gladstone Staffordshire in the 'Honeymoon Rose' design. I bagged 6 dinner plates and 6 side plates and because it was half price day I got them all for £4 :o)

Also bought from the same shop:

Blue Iris Pyrex - another beauty to add to the Pyrex obsession. Got this one for a whole 50p.

I found 6 embroidery hoops plus a tapestry frame (which I've been after for ages).  I got the whole bundle for £3.50 in the half price deal - well chuffed!  I've got 2 cross stitch projects on the go, both of which i get into for a while and then put down and leave for a few months but I'm wanting to finish so I can get cracking on the Emily Peacock Hug pillow chart which is like this:

The Saturday boot sale today was a bit of a disappointment again this week, too many collectors stalls and not enough one off sellers who just want to get shot of all their stuff.  I did pick up some curtains and a double duvet cover:

Yup more for my floral obsession too - these will probably be used as fabric for something or other (or added to my fabric pile to be honest lol).  They wanted £6 for them, I offer £4 - the lady said no so I did the usual walking away trick and again it didn't fail me - she came running after me and said I could have the lot for £4 - thanks very much! 
I also bought this French Le Parfait kitschy printed glass bottle:

I'm loving these bears running from the swarm of honey bees. Have no idea how old this bottle is but i couldnt resist it for 70p :o) My hubby groaned when he saw it so I might annoy him further by putting the milk in it in the fridge for a chuckle so he can have the pleasure of seeing those little bears again when he has his cereal tomorrow - mwahaha!

So that's all from me for this evening, hope you all are having a good weekend and my fellow Brits - remember to change your clocks this evening (I need to make sure I'm not late for the first dibs on the carboot sale goodies tommorrow!).
