Hitting the charity shops!

Thought it was time to share my charity shop finds for the week. The problem with going food shopping here is that both supermarkets are next to two charity shops so regardless of which one I choose to go to I always have to pop in to a CS and take a look.  Bonus this week was one of them was having a half price clothes, shoes and bric a brac sale :o)

So here are my newbies:

1960s playing cards - loving the florals!  These were 45p.

Two cross stitch kits, loving the blue bird one! They were 50p for the 'yesterdays' one and £1 for the bluebird one!

Next I spied a Mayfair Laundry bag hidden under a pile of scarves:

And inside was a lovely embroidered table cloth and napkins:

Least I know these are dry cleaned!  The whole set cost £1 - bargain!

I saw a familiar design of tacky kitschness on the shelf:

Terribly cheesy saying again. Does he remind you of one of my previous buys:

I've reunited them!  He was only 49p so thought I'd so my duty and bring him home for bambi.

Next one for you hippy chicks:

Orange kaftan: o)  This was on half price offer and I was strangely drawn to it, for £2.50 why not!

I then had a rummage on the sale rail and found this for the colder months:

I love the 40s vintage vibe to it, ideal when I'm dressed in my more demure vintage outfits. Its made by Precis Petite and they retail for £129.  I got this one for £1 :o))

This magnet sums up my household as I'm always on and off a diet!

Trusty M&S black and white flats.  Please excuse the sticker remains inside the shoes!  These are pristine, not a mark on the soles which means I'm going to have to break them in!  Bargain for £2.

Vintage knitting and crochet booklets.  The bazaar one is amazing, full of knitted items I don't know how I have been able to live without!  These will be shown a bit in another post I feel!  So what is the item I most need in my life....

A knitted pineapple tea cosy of course!! So who wants to knit me one ;o)

I also came away with 2 bags full of men's designer shirts which were £1.50 each and a few Warehouse ladies tops for £1.70 each so hoping to make my eBay millions with these at some point...

Overheard in a Charity Shop

While I saw rifling through the sale rail two of the charity shop workers were standing beside me having a conversation about another member of staff. These two consisted of a man in his 50s who was extremely camp and an old lady in her 70s.

Man: "Vera was caught out the other day"

Lady "I know I heard"

Man "Well who does she think she is asking for all the Delia cookbooks to be put aside for her"

Lady "Yes I know, by law we have to put everything donated on the shelves for sale"

Man "Indeed, you should have seen the look she gave me when I rung that's customers Delia book through the till!"

Lady "Yes I can imagine"

Man "Bloody cheek, well I certainly wont be going to hers for a dinner party, by the looks of it she needs all the help she can get!"

Have a Fabulous day!
