So here's what I couldn't resist buying:
Vintage silver plated dressing table mirror - a complete bargain at 50p (even I wash shocked at how cheap this one was).
1956 copy of Little Women - 10p
So if anyone knows Michael Hanson let him know I've got his book!
1950s jar - 10p. One day I will show you all my jars filled with my bits and bobs so you can see why I buy so many lol.
Ladybird Books - 10p each.
Sewing patterns which are going to be given to a friend - 50p.
And that was all my table top and spring fair buys :o) I also popped into the secret charity shop this morning on my travels and was pleased to see that the pricing hasn't really changed much at all, all I could see was that some of the glass bits had gone from 50p to £1 but the ladies tops and dresses seemed to have gone down to £1? So you can all sleep easy knowing my local CS haunt has not succumbed to the CS high street pricing pressure *wink*.
Happy Tuesday All.

Lovely ladybird haul :)
ReplyDeleteAm feeling let down this week - no bargains in any of my charity shops in town - hoping the 'drought' might end tomorrow.
Oh still some great things, even if you did leave behind the wooden kitty mushroom! Definitely do a pic of all your jars, am intrigued now ;-)
ReplyDeleteOh, and what the hell is wrong with those horses' necks on the cover of that book?!

I know what you mean about spring fairs - al la bit rubbish - we have village ones and they are ok but focus on food adn market stall type things. Every the country shows don't have a bric a brac or jumble stall. Shame
ReplyDeleteGlad about the secret charity shop!!! They do seeem to be much much busier these days.

I blame Mary Portas for the CS price increases. :(
ReplyDeleteI know it's all for good causes and some things do deserve to be priced higher but still....it's changed charity shopping and not in a good way. I overheard some girls talking about it yesterday - they feel the same way - I think all us CS shoppers do.
Like the Ladybird books - I collect them too. And old patterns.....do you know what my Mum did? She had three big suitcases full of vintage patterns dating from the 1950's right through to the 1990's and she THREW THEM ALL AWAY.
Devastation.
Super haul of goodies, I'm loving the Ladybird books and the patterns :-)
ReplyDeleteAhhh I remember those Read it Yourself books!! Loving the old Little Women, even if their faces aren't quite right somehow!! :)
ReplyDeleteJust read your comment on my blog and came to ask you.....if you go to Brighton often then I take it you live in Sussex - so wondered which boot fairs you're going to. We used go to one on the way to Lewes - but that hasn't started up yet - I think it starts next Sunday.
ReplyDeleteAnd then there was a small one locally through winter but it has stopped now. So I am at a loss for boot fairs.
SCORE! But really a deal on that mirror! Vanna
ReplyDeleteOh i have a sweet spot for old books and you found so many good ones!
ReplyDeleteAnd that mirror is beautiful!
Thanks for linking up to thrifty thursdays!

A girl after my own heart! Those Ladybird books are fabulous, I dream of owning a full collection, though I don’t quite know how many exist.
ReplyDeleteThis is really funny, my Mum bought me a copy of Little Women the other day, I was so pleased with it :) xxx
