What is your charity shop bargain of the week?

A framed cross stitch sampler for $8.00. "There is a special place in heaven for the mother of two sons". Sums it up nicely.

I collect Kahla porcelain from the old DDR. Scored a coffee cup for a dollar.

And a Phoenix bone china cup and saucer in a pretty pink and blue art deco floral. $3.00.

Happy.

I got a pair of white linen curtains for 2.99 today..they are too long for my kitchen window, but I can take them up. They were all manky and stained, but have washed up spotlessly.
Also got 2 forks for 25p each to use as tie backs for the curtains.

That's a really good idea! I need some kitchen curtain tiebacks! Do you do a Uri Geller on them to bend them! :rotfl:

lol, that's my plan tomorrow...fork bending.
I got some 'old fashioned' forks with long prongs that look quite nice. I need to drill a hole in the handle so I can screw them to the wall and then bend them! Hope they don't snap!

If you can bend them around something solid and tubular you'll end up with a better shape and less chance of breaking them, when applying the pressure you need (for ease drill them first).

Got myself a nice tunic top for £2 today when I was dropping off a load of stuff to the CS.

My recent chazza buys;

Brown United Colors of Benetton handbag, which will go with loads of my stuff - £3.99 - BHF

Also at Oxfam I got a really pretty necklace with a sort of mother of pearl disk hanging off it, hard to explain! but it looks natural, not fake plastic. - 99p - Oxfam.

Ooh that's good. I'm always on the lookout for a Kipling bag! Maybe one day I'll have the same luck.
