Hows about this then?

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....

....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!

  2. 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!

  6. Ole! 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.

  10. Haha ha brilliant! I wonder how they knew it was worn by Elton? Maybe it was the sparkles.It really is very eyecatching though.

    I am thinking maybe Doris should have her own show. lol.

  12. you 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

    ReplyDelete
  13. Haha that is brilliant! I'm sure Doris secretly wants to grab it when it gets discounted!

    ReplyDelete
  14. That is utterly ridiculous! I think it's about time Doris was sectioned! The hat is rather cool though! xxx

    ReplyDelete
  15. That 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...!

  16. Haha wonder how they came to that conclusion... I tagged you in a post on my blog if you fancy it :)

  17. omg, 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!

    ReplyDelete
  18. To 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!

    ReplyDelete
  19. You do make me laugh. Who would think Elton John even wore one?

    ReplyDelete
  20. I would have put in on the floor and started dancing around it!!!

    ReplyDelete
  21. haha Maybe poor Doris is getting old and blind like me and mistook his boater hat for a sombrero.

    ReplyDelete
  22. Haha this did make me laugh!

  23. That is just brilliant! I'm off to Google Elton in a Mariachi hat and see whether it's true. x

    ReplyDelete
  24. I so want to believe it really was Elton's! I wonder if David and the baby had matching ones? xxxx

    ReplyDelete
  25. Did they have Jimi Hendrix's Marshall amp in there too?
    ;-)

  26. Your posts do make me laugh, this is hillarious xoxoxox
