I'm back

Had a lovely morning, cup of coffee in Mr S and then hit the charity shops at 9. I got a nice little 'haul' this morning consisting of ....

• 2 Schleich Elfen figures, brand new, still in boxes that I shall wrap up for DD (brand new retail is about £20 each I think - I paid £3:T).
• Brand new in box and tissue paper and wrappings Liz Claiborne purse - £2.50 :eek:
• 2 scarves (one Next, one M&Co) - £1 each
• Pair of Per Una 3/4 length smart grey trousers - £4 (look brand new)
• Peter Storm raincoat (I need a new one badly !) - £12

So I'm very pleased with my bargains ! And all for just over £20 :j.

Right off to pack for the weekend, hope everyone else has managed to find some goodies today? :beer:

Not been much in the way of covetable bargains in the chazza shops in North Yorks lately

Did manage to get a nice Karen Millen black leather belt with silver bits on it today for £1 though

And have had a bit of luck on EBay...got a lovely Victorian ring (Christmas prezzy to myself ) at a knock down price.

Hello!

I picked up 4 books at 20p each earlier plus the most amazing 1980's leather shoe and bag set by Renata of Italy (his shoes start from £180 :eek:). I can't believe the shoes were a 39.5, my perfect size - well worth the £9.95 price tag!

I've posted pictures on my blog if you're interested.

Happy hunting this weekend.

Sitting here getting very jealous of everyone's finds.. well done people! Sadly can't get around very well at the moment thanks to SPD but consoling myself with the fact that it won't last forever!

SERIOUS shoe and bag envy here! I never find shoes to fit me, I'm a size 9 standard fit and most big shoes are also wide. And usually made for the cross-dressing market!
Nothing exciting but I did get a New Look tunic t-shirt with a sort of gothy butterfly print on it for £1.80 from the CS where I work today.

I've got a friend with the same problem. You've got the choice of sensible and orthopedic or red patent with 9inch see thru' heels!

No jumble sales tomorrow but there's a "community sale" whatever that may be and a furniture and bric-a-brac event plus about 15 Xmas fairs. There's a programme on ITV at 8pm about recycling furniture so I may watch that to get some inspiration.
