Charity Shopping - bargains galore for 2021!

I found a couple of Boden dresses the other day - one green shift with pockets and one maxi in pink & lilac. I also found a silver grey Autograph cashmere sweater and a gorgeous pair of M&S slim ankle grazers in a black & ivory check. 
I've also found a good stack of recent hardbacks & paperbacks in my local Children's Society bookshop (some only just published), a pile of Agatha Christies and a copy of South Riding which I remember reading donkeys years ago from my mum's bookshelf!

I love South Riding it’s a fab book. Did you see the TV version with Anna Maxwell Martin and David Morrissey?
pink Victoria’s Secret yoga shorts £4
Blue Converse type lace less canvas shoes BNWT. £6. My trusty red Converse ones that I’d had for years were falling apart. They’re great for the beach and the bike.
An M and S kids pale pink pleather biker jacket £2.50.

Came away from the local hospice clearance branch with eight items for £16, i.e. £2 each including unworn grey stretch skinny jeans, and several lightweight blouse/shirt type tops from M&S and RochaJohnRocha which have been added to the potential work wardrobe for future use (if such a thing ever finally happens!)

That's sounds like a good haul Lucy. Always good to have a few versatile work bits.
I brought a mug in the last 2 weeks that's it. Nowt round here sadly although that may help my decluttering. I am hoping to visit a different area over bank holiday so hopeful this will get me a treat. 😂

On my way home from an appointment this morning I called into Barnardo's and bought a plain white cake stand £2, a glass 2 pint pudding basin £1.50 and a curver square freezer to microwave plastic box £1.
Then across the road in Oxfam I briefly considered a pasta maker but plumped for a Good Housekeeping best slow cooker and one pot recipe book £2.99 and an Encyclopedia of puddings and other sweets £3.99. (I now know how to concoct oat meringues so my vegan, gluten free fellow Wednesday group walkers will be delighted I hope.)

A quick walk in the sun this afternoon had me pass by the local chaz. I was looking for a tray as I am one down (casualty of don't-ask-what) and found a small one with a separate cup compartment for 50p. Also some new jeans for £3 (my new uniform since I've been wfh for the last 14 months) and what looked like a never-used Cake Boss cutter set for 50p:

Trawled thro two small towns worth of charity shops and found nothing, then on the way home stopped off in Harrogate for a coffee, (indoors in a proper coffee shop....yay!!).  Came out into a monsoon of hailstones so dashed into a chazza for shelter and found a Joe Brown midi sundress - 50's stylee with a sweetheart neckline and full skirt in a ditsy navy & cream print - was £9 but reduced to £4.50.  Now if the blooming' sun would just put in an appearance!!!
