Charity Shopping - bargains galore for 2021!

Popped into the BHF shop in Northallerton on Sunday and came out with a navy TOG24 jacket, outside it appears to be like scuba fabric but is lined with some fleecy stuff.  Will be very useful, £9.95.  Today I found a Barbour ladies striped top in cream & brown for £4.95 and also a BNWT cocktail stylee dress with matching wrap in a pewter shade with some discrete beadwork from Roman and priced at £7, both from the Sue Ryder shop.  Finally I found a lovely cream cashmere polo neck sweater in a small cable pattern, brand was Daniel Bishop Cashmere and priced at £3.95 from St Gemma's Hospice shop.  (Was minutely examined for moth damage and bobbling - looks perfect and unworn!!).

Wow @Miró some brilliant bargains there.

I popped into my favourite BHF shop this morning and found these Lock & Lock containers and a blue Kilner jar. 



I'd never come across a coloured Kilner before and am now wondering about colour coding my stores!

I found a 100% linen summer dress, made in Italy, in khaki with navy flowers on in our local hospice shop for £4.50.
These are priced around £40 in one of the department stores in a nearby city.

@goldfinches - you'll be matching your clothes pegs to the colour of the clothes hanging on the line next!!!

I match my clothes to the colour of the plastic hangers - as far as I can.

I’ve been looking for a multicoloured opalescent Arcopal espresso/tea cup set ever since I saw one on Escape to the Chateau but they’re £60+ on eBay & £140 on Etsy.

I found a full set today in my fave charity shop down the road for £12!! 

I’ve had so many bargains recently from wooden framed large mirrors for £9 to decorative plant pots for £1!

Just had to look the Arcopal set up.......very pretty, (if I got the right ones), and such a bargain!

2 more finds this week from the 99p shop.  A John Rocha linen dress in autumnal shades but is more of a summer dress.  Then a bit of a mistook, saw a burgundy thermal long sleeved tshirty thing by Uniqlo, size M.  Tried it on after washing it and realised the M was a mens size so the shoulders are a bit wide and the sleeves a bit long  .  Will be fine as an extra layer under walking gear tho.

Long sleeves in thermals are one of the best things though, cut a thumb hole and you can wear them over your hands. Love it.

I know I've already spoken about my lamp but I love it so much. So here's a picture.

It was such a lovely morning that I took a walk out and visited 5 charity shops.

A VGC pair of black leather gloves. Size 6.5. I find a lot of shops only sell S/M/L and the S is way too big for me. £2.50 local hospice

A White Stuff tunic/short dress in grey with burgundy flowers.£5.00
A cream tropical print sleeveless dress £2.50. Brand is Egatex which apparently is:

Egatex is a benchmark in the Spanish and international market in women's and men's lingerie fashion.

so maybe it's a nightie...
...but it looks like a dress so will be worn as a dress.
Both from Sue Ryder

A Weird Fish top in cream with blue stripes and buttons down the back. £3.50
A Next top in cream with splashes of rust/green/grey/silver. £2.50. Both from Age UK

A pair of leggings - maybe 'Workout' brand - in a nice vibrant pattern. £3.50
A BNIB handbag hook, still with original price of £6.99 on. £1.00 (will be gifted)
3 books (Sophie Kinsella/Harlen Coben/Michael Connelly) £1.00. All from Lighthouse shop

Only Barnados disappointed.

2 Jaeger shirts, 1 blue 1 pink in a twill fabric. As new £6.
