Now you know I believe that charity shops are a one-stop shop for everything, and I know its hard to beat the Tampax find but oh my, I found something way more exciting..
....A Mexican mariachi hat/sombrero! But don't be confused, this isn't just any mariachi hat , oh no.....jpg)
....according to our charity shop its Elton John's Mariachi hat!
I'm not sure what provenance the old dears had, but I do think someone needs to stop Doris in the stock room adding the Sherry to her morning tea ;o)
Had it been cheaper, I'd have danced out the shop wearing it though, it was blooming amazing!
I've also had a good week for thrifting so will be back to blog about these! I can see you are all on the edge of your seats ;o)
Have a fabulous weekend all!
Elton John's mariachi hat?! My, oh my! They might have done better trying o flog that one on eBay ;-)
ReplyDeleteJem xXx
Haha, that's amazing! I don't know whether they were making it up or not, but I've seen a charity shop try & flog a typewriter for £5 before saying it was used by Shakespeare, an obvious joke though!
ReplyDeleteCatherine, XO.
Hahaha, all we get round here is tracksuits 'as worn by Cher Lloyd'!

***Faith Hope and Charity Shopping first blogiversary giveaway open now***
have you looked for any photos of Elton in such a hat? You never know. Still, you wouldn't want to pay that much for it
ReplyDeleteHahaayy!! Eltons John sombrero!!
ReplyDeleteyou better send the Mexi- bad ass hat over to me.
besones
Well!!!
ReplyDeleteOle! You should have at least tried it on just so when you took things to the charity shop you could tell them to put on the tags - one worn by a woman who once wore a sombrero once worn by Elton John.
ReplyDeleteHow funny!
ReplyDeleteThat's awesome!
ReplyDeleteHe he I sometimes what those women/men are thinking when they price things!! Can't wait to see some off your bab finds. x
ReplyDeleteha ha ha ha ha i bet they had a field day when that came in i can imagin them all trying it on and singing ;-) Have a great weekend look forward to seeing your finds. dee x
ReplyDeletehahaha brilliant! "As worn by..." That could mean anything - enjoyed the sherry joke! xx
ReplyDeleteHaha ha brilliant! I wonder how they knew it was worn by Elton? Maybe it was the sparkles.It really is very eyecatching though.
ReplyDeleteI am thinking maybe Doris should have her own show. lol.
MBB x
Hahaha! Wow! I can just imagine Doris right now in my head, that sure is one crazy find xxx
ReplyDeleteyou can't beat a bit of optimistic marketing! you've got to keep nipping back to report on whether some sad soul actually fell for it and bought it! x
ReplyDeleteHaha that is brilliant! I'm sure Doris secretly wants to grab it when it gets discounted!
ReplyDeleteThat is utterly ridiculous! I think it's about time Doris was sectioned! The hat is rather cool though! xxx
ReplyDeleteThat hat is great but not quite as cool as the one we brought back from Mexico for #2 son...his has green, red and silver on. Don't think it was worn by Elton John though...!
ReplyDeleteK xx
Haha wonder how they came to that conclusion... I tagged you in a post on my blog if you fancy it :)
ReplyDeleteomg, so funny! As if Elton John would just give a hat away to a charity shop. I definitely think that they need to stop the 'boozed up pricing up sessions' at your local shop!
ReplyDeleteTo be fair it does say ‘as worn by’ not ‘worn by’ :) They’re pushing their luck with that price tag though, and perhaps they hope that some prospective buyer really will think it was Elton’s - as if!
ReplyDeleteYou do make me laugh. Who would think Elton John even wore one?
ReplyDeleteI would have put in on the floor and started dancing around it!!!
ReplyDeletehaha Maybe poor Doris is getting old and blind like me and mistook his boater hat for a sombrero.
ReplyDeleteHaha this did make me laugh!

That is just brilliant! I'm off to Google Elton in a Mariachi hat and see whether it's true. x
ReplyDeleteI so want to believe it really was Elton's! I wonder if David and the baby had matching ones? xxxx
ReplyDeleteDid they have Jimi Hendrix's Marshall amp in there too?
ReplyDelete;-)
Your posts do make me laugh, this is hillarious xoxoxox
ReplyDeleteOooooh, its crazy!!!!!!!!!
ReplyDeletehahaha this is really the best found so far, but it´s really hard to believe you found something more exciting than tampax haha;)
ReplyDeletehahahaha elton john's mariachi hat?? goshhh they should also try and find a picture of elton wearing it to prove it i guess hahaaha i think they have a large stock of sherry in the stock room :p
