I remember Karen had a couple of these books when she was small - they were written and illustrated by a nine year old girl, and they are really good. James certainly enjoyed these wee stories at bedtime this evening. Oh yes - the price -30p!
A gorgeous selection of goodies from the linen basket. Two sets of napkins, a crocheted mat and a beautiful blue floral pillowslip. £3.50!!
I love this pillow case so much - it is a lovely soft linen type fabric. Not sure yet what it will become - a bag maybe, part of a quilt, something for Erin, a table runner? The possibilities are endless - so much inspiration. It's such a buzz when thrifting works ♥♥♥
What a great haul! Sadly our charity shops down here can't begin to compete with yours on price, but I do occasionally stumble across a bargain....on Friday it was a candle making kit with lots of extra wax - £2.99, and a three-quarter length suede jacket - £9.99, in immaculate condition. I was pleased enough with that!
ReplyDeleteThose are great finds - the teapot in particular! Quite the conversation piece. Will you give it/him/her a name?
ReplyDeleteoh i remember those garden gang books and being 9 and thinking the girl was so clever to write a book so young. I was always writing stories and wanting to be an author. i guess i could still make that a reality lol...... Great finds! Well done you xx
ReplyDeleteIt looks like you had a wonderful time shopping. I love your tea pot and am sure it will bring a smile to your face everytime you prepare a cup of tea.
ReplyDeleteOooh yes I remember the Garden Gang too, I had loads of the books and loved them!
ReplyDeleteThe teapot is a wonderful find! I love to find bargain treasures. I wrote a post recently called, "My favorite Word". My favorite is free with my second favorite as "almost free". I agree, it is a real buzz when thrifting works for you.
ReplyDeleteFun finds! I love thrift stores! Right now, I'm into our local clothing consignment store.
ReplyDeleteThe fun of thrifting. That teapot is very cute and what little boy wouldn't love a jigsaw puzzle with a tractor on it. Lovely finds.
ReplyDeleteOh wow, you really did well at the thrift shop today. I remember the Garden Gang books - both my children used to collect them and really enjoyed them when they were small. I don't seem to find anything much in our thrift shops these days as the better things are always put on ebay and the shops consist mostly of clothes and paperback books !
ReplyDeletethere is nothing like finding good STUFF at the charity shops! well done.
ReplyDeleteWonderful...I love a bit of thrifting, you can't beat it!
ReplyDeleteMuch love
Love your charity shop finds - especially the jigsaw and linen - lovely!
