Jumble sale this afternoon - first one in ages. Got there a few minutes late so wasn't expecting much. As it happens I got:
Set of 7 ornate brass wall lights (not particularly old but look very French/Louis XV1) £2
Ikea table lamp 50p
1000 piece Jigsaw still sealed 50p
Hama beads and lego for my DD 50p
Tan brogues like new 50p
Top Shop sandals/flipflops 50p
Silky (probably polyester) scarf in beige/nude shades 20p
3 leather belts (one Windsmoor - very 1980's) 20p each
As I was leaving I noticed there was still a pine bedside table left (had been a pair originally). Not what I was planning on buying but I thought i'd ask how much anyway. £1 - bargain!

Also from the CS last week I got 2 full size unused Origins items. £1.49 and 99p. The dearer one on the Origins site is £22.
I guess the staff didn't know the make.

I went to a jumble sale, first time for ages. Got 2 M&S shirts for OH, 50p, M&S summer shirt 25p, M&S top 25p, M&S trousers 25p (but they have a small stain on the bottom of the leg I can't get out). Also one of those snuggly things like a shawl with pockets for my Mum 25p, a bone china mug 25p and 3 good books for £1. So very pleased with my bargains!

Good evening all, looks like some fab bargains have been scored!

Got a full length faux fur Per Una coat for £6 this morning, a lot more than I'd usually pay for anything in CS, but it looks and feels as new. Yesterday got a pair of tan Bronx suede lace up knee high boots for £1.50. Needed a clean but looked fantastic after a squirt of suede cleaner!

Went into the Marie Curie charity shop by work in my dinner hour and got a pair of looks abd feels like new brown Hush Puppy calf length boots for £7. Bit expensive but they are a good make and really comfy. Popped into the local hospice one and got 4 brand new Road Dahl books for my daughter for £1.50, going to put these away for Xmas.

Does vintage just mean old? Or are these items worth something?
