    Bought a lovely, scarf ..beaded and really beautiful for £1...also bought a really lovely patchwork (think it was handmade) quilt for £6 to fit a single bed...was pleased.:D
  • I've been trying to avoid the charity shops (again!), when I have relented I have bought the following:

    A sheepskin gilet for £5.00
    Handknitted gloves for 50p (new)
    Hobbs cardigan for £4.50
    A minute at the till, a lifetime on the bill.

    Nothing tastes as good as being slim feels.

    one life, live it!

    I found an absolutely beautiful locally-made pure wool blanket in a pale green that matches our bedroom. It's a generous double bed size and is vintage (I think 1960s) but in absolutely pristine condition. The modern equivalent costs about £120, I paid £1.99! Thrilled to bits with it.
  • blanket sound perfect angeltreats!
