What is your charity shop bargain of the week?

I'm a very happy bunny today! :j

Bought a White Stuff tunic in duck-egg blue and teal pattern.
It was shorter than I usually wear but after trying it on several times (British Heart Foundation give refunds) with velour leggings, jeggings and different colours of 100% linen trousers, I've decided to keep it. Not too cheap at £4.75 but not the sort of thing you'd see about.

And - a fab purple Per Una just-below-the-knee length fitted coat from my local hospice shop with a lovely silky flower pattern lining. For £3.00.
It's dry-clean only but I gave it a good check over and it looks in very good condition, especially under the armpits inside. I'm going to steam it later today.
:eek: I swear my heart was pounding as I was trying it on in case it didn't fit. :rotfl:

From the same shop, a Principles duck egg blue short cardi that will go perfectly with a Mantaray tunic I bought the other week. £2.50

And a fancy feather clip which will go really nicely on a few of my (many) hats.

I recently (last Saturday) bought from Oxfam a brand new pair of Ted Baker trousers for £9.99. It is not really "bargain" may be but it still has tags on with £120 displayed on them and I may sell on Ebay later on of I can't find a place to wear it.

Estee Lauder make up bag for 50 p too.

In my book, anything that costs less than 1/10th of the original price is a bargain!

A pair of new, still in box, Ravel leather and suede boots for £3.50p. 1/2 a size too big but I'll be wearing sox or thick tights during the cold weather so makes no difference to fit.

Not a charity shop find as such but have been on the lookout for a second(minute ) hand for my cheap but sentimental carriage clock. On the way out this a.m .to do some litter picking, noticed a plastic carriage clock on pavement. Put it in litter bag and toodled off. Got back later and hand fits perfectly. Makes up for the £29 camera battery that i had to purchase yesterday after hiding the other too well and being unable to find it!

I managed to buy a zipped case containing 14 pairs of Aero metal knitting needles (made in Redditch) with 3 cable pins for a fiver - these are for one of my mates who is a knitting fiend.

I was given 2 bags of broken beaded jewellery and I spent a quid on a bag of pendants (no chains) yesterday when I was in the charity shop - some of the pendants have already been hung on leather thongs..
