Charity Shopping - New to You in '22!

I just bought a childrens sewing / craft set sealed in the box. The box looked a little tired. When I opened it up it had the date stamp 2003 😂 must have been hiding in someone’s loft for a long time 😂😂😂
everything inside looks in perfect condition 😊

@Miró- what a great example of karma which you richly deserved so enjoy your good fortune that the universe knows you earned and don't forget that some of us here would love to see a photo or two of your outfits with the skirt (hint, vulgar hint). 

Wouldn't it be interesting to spot your donations while watching the news a few days/weeks from now?

Erm....here goes goldfinches!




This is my attempt at a 'respectable middle aged lady' persona  using the new (to me) skirt and utilising other previous chazza buys over the last couple of years.  Just a coincidence but all the items shown were brand new when purchased in the various chazza shops

Oversized black blazer, M & S
Reiss blouse, (gold/orange/white/black pattern)
Wide black leather belt (2nd pic)
Black Radley handbag
Black M & S leather gloves
Black leather Ted Baker ankle boots (1st pic) ,,,, I think I prefer the tall boots????
Black leather Radley knee high boots (2nd pic) ....who knew Radley did boots - I didn't!!

Looks good on you Miro.

@Miró - you look great, really fabulous. I prefer the tall boots too, the folds they fall into are very becoming I think.

@miro very elegant and classy.

I bought a large teal leather Autograph handbag for £10. And have decided to stop telling myself that I’m not going to buy any more bags or jackets as it’s clearly a lie!

Yes, a very elegant outfit, Miro.

Yesterday I bought a Kipling-lookalike bag in abstract greens, teal, orange and beige with lots of pockets. Looks unused. £3.00
A pair of M&S navy leggings. £2.00
A wide scarf in a mustard-y colour with abstract flowers in cream, pink & purple. Fabulously soft, label says 20% cashmere/80% cotton. £3.00 It's in the freezer.

All from Mencap.
Had a brief look in BHF & Age Concern and the prices are eye-wateringly high.

Aww, thank you all for your kind comments 
Not much to report from this last week.  Just found a pair of light blue denim jeans, ankle grazer stylee, from M & Co.  BHF shop and £2.95.  I've never really bothered with M & Co stuff til recently thinking it was just cheap, poor quality fast fashion (?) but having now acquired a couple of pairs of their jeans I'm pleasantly surprised at the fabric quality and the fit......better than M & S I'm finding!!

Anyone else longing for summer and being able to dump the puffer coats and wear lighter colours and fabrics?  My dream outfit at the mo would be the light blue denims with a crisp white shirt, sandals and a basket bag!!!!

P.S.  Not a chazza thing but I noticed we have a new 'Vintage - Pay by the Pound' shop opening any day in town.  They have taken over 3 old shops so it's gonna be huge.  Not quite sure how these things work, (entrance fee?), but sounds very rummageable

M&Co when they were McKays were good quality but less fashionable.
