Charity Shopping - New to You in '22!

The perfect knitting bag! I once received a free tote bag with a yarn order: co-incidentally the company name was the same as my Christian name so that's now my go-to knitting bag.
Those sheep on yours are very cute.

5 more books from the Blue Cross shop. 
I rarely call in there but was pleased to discover its another blanket price on books place (£1 each).

The lovely heavy glass cheese dome was gone - alas! Serves me right....

That's a shame! And it wasn't me, honest. I popped into the Sue Ryder today and yes they have some nice clothes! I resisted them but got two balls of yarn for 75p which I'm happy with.

This morning's car boot netted a Christmassy mug which will be a gift (10p) and an old Denby coffee pot for £2. I'm gloating over that coffee pot!

 Ooooh to continue the yarn theme…a lovely lady on my local freecycle was offering bags of yarn.  I  put in a request and was amazed to be given some amazing yarn, silk/alpaca/cashmere etc…a huge bag all foc.  Can’t wait to start working with it.  Anyhoo, back on topic….got a  BNWT Lands End ladies shirt in non iron heavy cotton  in a tan and cream ditsy pattern for £5.

I went into two hospice shops the other day as I need some summer tops. I managed to get 4 tops, one pink, two red and an olive coloured vest. All for £8.

There seems to be a lot of Christmas tops in the shops near me! I like red so I kept veering towards them on the racks and then seeing that they had slogans about Santa Claus. Lol.

I walked up to the Barnardo's shop yesterday and found Australian Women's Weekly Thai recipe book for 50p. Then I popped across the road to the Oxfam shop and snapped up a Prestige 22cm loose bottomed cake tin, £3.99, and a metal strainer that fits perfectly into my wide mouth Kilner jars for £1.99. 

Here are the cake tin and strainer



perched on top of a pile of cookbooks and boxes in my kitchen. I've given them both a good wash and all the marks on the tin came off really easily so I'm very pleased to have bought it.

I seem to have hit a golden streak lately, on Monday I popped into my favourite BHF shop as I was passing and snaffled this very deep ice tray with a lid and a lovely Family Circle vegetable book with some really useful info as well as nice looking recipes.



Then, this morning, I had a prowl around the Age UK, Barnardo's and Oxfam shops and bought Patrick Rance's book on French Cheese for 50p. I still can't believe I've snaffled such a bargain, the cheapest second hand copy online is nearly £14.

I also snagged this lovely Pyrex loaf tin for £2.99.



It doesn't look as though it's ever been used and I'm really interested in trying out the design to see if it's as helpful as I hope.

I did pick up some tops that I'm hoping will fit and flatter me but I'll wait until I've tried them on tomorrow morning before showing them off on here. Night all and sweet dreams, goldfinches.

Found some nice scarves over the last couple of days.  First one - a huge square in shades of burgundy, emerald green and gold that will go nicely with two winter coats, 99p in the St Gemma's Hospice Shop.  Then today in the Sue Ryder Hospice Shop  I found a b/n heavy silk scarf still in it's presentation box and wrapping in muted tones of cream and blush pink and priced at £3.  It's a Jim Thompson scarf from Thailand and I can truly say it 'sparks joy'.
