    Ive seen the winter stock in TKMaxx this evening. I didnt check for the trousers you are looking for but did see Dare2be labels on some adult jackets. Maybe have a look for the item you are looking for. Or tell us again what its like and we could all look.

    Thanks.I will pop down to TK Maxx tonight and have a look.:D

  • The one that got away..... a long-case (grandfather) clock by a local maker, in good condition. It's modern, but made by a cabinet maker in 18th-century style, and with a good wind-up movement.

    One of these was in a local charity shop for £80 - and unfortunately someone had got there first and put it on hold. It might sound like a lot, but these clocks retail at £1200+!
  • Today I bought a duck egg blue enamel jug for my dressers (that I buy cheap and make look shabby chic.) It looks gorgeous and cost me £1.49.
    May £10 a day challenge
    £19.61/£310
    Ebay challenge...£12.61/£200
  • no luck finding Happyland stuff today, the boots sale was fairly quiet and not very well organised (lots of 'half rows' making it difficult to actually get to everything) i did get a pair of Minnie Mouse ears, still in the packaging for £1 which my 1 yr old loved but that was it. will see what Sunday brings!

    Yipee!
    Bought a gorgeous colclough harlequin tea set(4 x trios).Bought it for pocket money basically,putting it on ebay right now for £40.
    Does anyone here sell on etsy?I fancy giving it a go rather than ebay but the idea of doing my pricing in $ is putting me off,with the exchange rate fluctauting constantly I may have to keep editing my prices.
    Also got a cute vintage english china brooch,a little yellow pansy,by Hadleigh in its original box.
