MadelinesMum

Not really a bargain, but something we desparately needed:
Two school sweatshirts with logo £1.49 each.

really needed a door curtain as all the heat just wafts up the stairs (old cottage) so i priced up the material to make one 'cheaply' - ouch.

car boot find - pair of huuuuge curtains, neutral colour 82p (i only had a fiver and he was asking a pound so he chose the 82p change i had - lovely man).

brand new and now keeping me draft free:D (best look for a pole next time i go as a 40 yr old broom stale and 2 6" nails just doesn't look right.....).

Not a massive bargain but i love it all the same....a topshop long wool jacket from CS for 8.50. Don't usually pay this much but it fits perfectly and just whati was after.

My mum picked up a lovely grey Dari-Meya jersey dress for me today for £4
Looking forward to trying it on later on

Does anyone know the vintage label "Maryon by Ricci Michaels Mayfair". We had a lovely vintage dress donated at work and I can't find anything online about the label apart from a link on Google to an online vintage shop which does not work

A brand new tresemme styling set from Ebay, brand new. Someone bought them as a gift and the current owner did not want them. Managed to grab them for 99p as a opposed to £25 they are usually selling for.

I also got a genuine Paul Frank t shirt for £2 second hand.

It wouldn't be Marjon rather than Maryon, would it? I'm wearing a vintage maxi dress today from Trina Lewis of Mayfair. If it is Marjon, it's the same fashion house, yours is possibly late 70's or early 80's.

A vintage Noddy duvet cover for £1.00 - my children are far too old for it but I love it!

Two large hand crocheted multicoloured blankets - Think Cath Kidston from a couple of years ago - £1.00 each

Abercrombie and Fitch top for my daughter £4.25

Pashmina from the Cashmere Company for £1.00

MM, all of those go for good prices on Ebay, especially a really nice crochet blanket!

I'm pretty sure it is Maryon as I have heard of Marjon - I used to have a dress with that label. I'll double check when back at work though just in case. I think its 60s maybe bordering 70s. Shift dress shape but long - would look great on a young Cilla Black

I sold a vintage single Thundercats duvet cover on eBay about 5 years ago for £25 - going off to have a look at Noddy ones now

I got a brand new with tags still on Cyber Jammies for John Lewis. Price said £18 I paid £3. They are more for the summer than now so will put them away ready for the warmer weather.:money:
