Charity Shopping - bargains galore for 2021!

Katiehound

Sadly tier 4 here so no CS to browse or donate to at present... and I hear Boris is making an announcement tonight...... sounds like another lockdown.
This time I will try hard to get things even slightly sorted!! Ever hopeful!
Ah well, I have at least one large shopping bag of p/bs to read....

Hello

wonder if any of you can help out.  In the last lockdown am pretty sure someone mentioned a charity that allowed you to send items in to them.  Cannot find the post.  Am bleary eyed with lack of sleep 

Over on the decluttering thread we are stumped as to where we can take sorted/unwanted clothes etc........

many thanks

December
Pair of white vintage Lladro ducks, St Wilfred's Hospice 9.20
Lawleys 'Cheerio' pottery tankard, St Wilfred's Hospice 9.50
Shorter & Son 'Mallard' Staffordshire jug British Red Cross 14.88
All bought online. 
I really only buy books, china and glass from charity shops. Before Covid-19 I used to buy quite a lot of clothes.

I know this is against the ethos of the thread, but if you have stuff that is of good quality then stick it up on your local buy sale Facebook page. If you dont want to sell, look for recycling pages in your area

Hi bala, I remember that @Miro posted that and vaguely think it was a cancer research link. Wonder of wonders, it was in my favourites Donate to our shops | Yorkshire Cancer Research

Meanwhile this is a link that was on a notice in the window of my local BHF shop last week

Hoorah for the decluttering from me too. I've got as far as deciding that one tin opener can go but haven't actually got it outside the front door yet, watch this space, goldfinches.

Doh!!!  Thought the thread had gone quiet.....didn't realise you had all upped and moved house!

Anyhoo.....in anticipation of another complete lockdown I had a last whizz around the charity shops last Monday.  Came home with an Autograph jersey dress, black and white 'op-art' sort of pattern, £5.  Black velvet Autonomy dress with crissy crossy draping into an empire line and elbow length sleeves, also £5.  Dunno when I expect to wear these bloomin' things.....harrump!  A Caldene pure wool tweed riding jacket in a moss green/tan/navy check and with a navy velvet collar, b/n I think as the pockets were still stitched and a plastic bag with spare buttons dangled from the underarm area.  Priced at £12.50 and found it selling online at £129.  Finally my fave find... a bo-ho stylee midi skirt by East in shades of brown orange and yellow, pure heavy silk and with some intricate pleating, very swishy and swirly, half price and £2.50.

 Now feeling miserable at the thought of no more bargain hunting for the foreseeable future  but the main thing to be grateful for is to still be virus free I guess - as I hope all the other chazza chums are too).

Sorry Mîro, did you not see the change of address card we left?!

Nope....Albert probably pinched it to add to his collection of 'important cat things' that he keeps in places inaccessible to mere humans!
