So! Yesterday I popped into work (at the charity shop) and put one or two things aside and had a good scout round the floor to see what new things had been put out in my absence!

Pepper pig top for my DD - £1.12
A HUGE 60's vintage dress (price unknown, probably 50p or so) - to make a skirt and bag from.
A lovely green cardi - had a small stain on so we 'rag bag' it. I saved it - price unknown yet.

Jigsaw jacket - £1
Topshop suit - £2
Vintage shoes (2 pairs) - £2

good finds snowbrow!

Sounds like everyone's had some great finds this weekend! What was the Playstation game snowbrow? One of the really rare ones?

Off to the boot sale this afternoon (Southam, just outside Cheltenham- brilliant site)- perfect day for it! My VCR died yesterday, with video locked forever inside (yep, I still use a VCR, as much as I love my DVDs), but as there are usually millions of them, I don't think it should be too hard to track one down (watch this be the one time when there are none...)

Oh, and I picked up my extra charity shop Le Creusets yesterday- another saucepan, and a heavy cast iron frying pan (both in nice retro orange), fiver each. There were a couple of other bits, but they had some cracks, so I decided to leave them

^!£$&

Not mega rare: Resident Evil should get a decent return on my 50p though!!
