Thirsk Cancer Research shop today: bought a thick grey throw to use as a sofa blanket in the colder months, £4.50. It called my name because it goes so well with the carpet in the lounge and should be very snuggly.

That is exactly what I'm looking for, probably grey as well to match my sofa. I'm using a thick black scarf/pashmina (also a chazzer buy) at the moment as a sofa blanket, but I want something larger.:)

I've bought most of mine from Primark over the years but my nicest and snuggest one was a remnant on the bargains table at a local fabric shop.

I never go in Primark as the ones near me were always rammed with people. I was actually thinking of going to a car boot sale as you can usually get some bargains there.:)

I bought two black tops and a silver (costume) necklace from the PDSA shop today. It was £7.50 which I thought was okay.

I did go back to that hospice charity shop again and I was specifically looking at labels. I saw a Wallis dress that I saw last time, but it wasn't really my thing. I did see two Coast dresses and a Karen Millen dress but they weren't my style again, annoyingly so I didn't buy anything there.

Another tea towel for the collection/aka horde  $1.99 University of Indiana, who knew they'd have a tea towel.

A hand embroidered dresser cloth $2.99.   I actually use them, unfortunately, they are few and far between.  Usually grabbed by resellers who then list them for $$$ on the online selling sites.

A wolf cross stitch kit complete with threads (the original owner has even bound the fabric edges, just never got started), a tapemeasure, 5 knitting needles, two reels of thread, two crochet doilies, two hoops, and something that i think might have been used on tracing paper.  $2.99

Then it turns out it was seniors discount Tuesday and I got 15% off!

I'd have bought all those if I'd been 5 minutes in front of you. Great bargains.

I sense geography-specific competition. Gawd help us if our paths actually ever cross, we'll be fighting each other off with our handbags

@wondercollie would of course have international immunity!

I was thinking it is strange as we used to know the same charity shops back in London and now we must live fairly close again. I'm not stalking you, I promise. Lol. I am going to Liverpool Street this week and I will stop in at that chazzer near the Whitechapel Gallery that we both know.:)

It got a bit pricey for my liking

If I made it your neck of the woods, you'd have to take pretty china out of my hands.   I'm a sucker for anything with thistles, and any flower but roses.

Books, linens of any types.

Oh, and wicker.   I came home with one of those bow shaped wicker baskets a while back, the kind that people always say they used back in the 60s  to take items to school.
