Ooh I also picked up a vintage Sarah Whitworth corset on the sale rail at a charity shop in December, £2 because it had no lace to lace it up with.. I added some ribbon, it's in immaculate condition too!

Not too sure about size just stumbed across it on internet on Monday and called the school.
I was thinking the same about possible good stuff . My plan is to get there early and set up then go for a wander around other stalls before public get in

I bought a vintage butterfly taxidermy glass globe thingy the other day for 75p.. yes, 75p and it's beautiful:

The butterflies are real on artificial flowers

I also bought two vintage maps of london in little wallets for £1.50 and a framed print of a little girl from the late victorian times for 75p

Also got a bundle of vintage lace for 50p..

I've picked up a vintage floral tea dress for 50p last summer, aswell as:
Vintage bridesmaid dress & bolero in immaculate condition (might reconstruct!) £3

I've picked up so much vintage ephemera, vintage sheet music, vintage buttons and linen.. Ive had to turn one of my wardrobes into my vintage-found stores for now!
Actually.. my entire spare room is kept for my 'junk' now.. hahaha!

Kirasia - that globe is gorgeous, it would fit into my house so perfectly, I'm very envious!

Charity shops weren't very inspiring today but i managed to snaffle some pretty 1950's side plates, some polka dot and others with stylised roses, all at 10p each.

Great to see JesaRose, Medsdenom and jtb2412 over on the beauty thread, we've got a happy gang over there and new members are always very welcome.

JTB - Our local cobbler can add an elasticated panel into "too-tight" boots for about £10, well worth it if you fing bargainacious boots that are too tight.

Not much luck for me today in the CS near my work

Dragged 2 donation bags with me today though, so hopefully I'll get some good karma for my CS adventures at the weekend!

Love the butterfly globe Kirasia... I would have snapped that up too!
