The CS gods were smiling on me.
Duvet cover, brand new in packaging, £2 purchased Yorkshire Cancer, Northallerton.

Oooooh, I've had some fabulous linens and curtains from this shop in the past!  Sunday's jaunt to the 3 chazza shops open in Thirsk saw me come away with a pair of B/N  Hotter trainer stylee shoes in a metallic brown colour priced at £8.  Found 'em online priced at £99!!!!  Just hope they don't develop a case of 'crumbing soles' .  Today in the hospice shop in Ripon, I found just the belt I have been searching for....tan leather about 1 1/2 ins wide, £2.99

It *might* go in DS's bedroom or maybe my office LOL

I've had a good morning.
A pair of silver leather converse boots, great condition. A 1/2 size larger than I'd like but they do look on the small size, and I did try them on with a very thin pair of socks. £6.00
A pair of Clarks black leather patent trekking sandals, great condition. These look smarter than the usual styles. £5.00
A box of 3 ladies cotton hankies in fab psychedelic patterns and colours. Still in ox. £3.00
All from local hospice.

A M&S 40% wool coat in boucle-style fabric. Zip & poppers fastening, stand up collar. £3.00 Barnados.

Today has been such a perfect summers day! I wandered down to the local Havens outlet earlier and bought a lovely summer dress, some jeans and a make-up purse (she'll probably use it for her colouring pencils) for my little niece. Also a blouse for my mum so all worked it well.

Had a day out yesterday and bought some nice things.
Next lilac linen mix dress £3.00
George tropical dress £1.00
Both from Barnados.

Lina Tomei linen dress with jewel embellishment £5.00 Sense.

ETA: these are definitely going back

And the best...
100% silk scarf from Liberty of London. Perfect condition. £1.99 from a local charity shop.

Nice scarf!

Yesterday's trip to donate items to the local chazzer was unexpectedly fruitful - I came out with some crafting pieces and 3 hardback books for my little niece, and a nice chat with the manager, who I hadn't see for months!

Would you sell it to me for £2??  Nice little profit for you!!!

Serious scarf envy!  And a LoL too!!!  

My mom always had a thing about LoL which I must ask her about (which she may not now remember).  It's odd as she was determined to go there when my folks visited the UK years back (50+ years?) so I can only assume she knew someone who had some of their stuff or some fancy shop had their blouses etc in Toronto.  I still have the scarf she bought me on that trip - I've worn it so many times including while hiking in the alps.  It's a fine cotton fabric square with a very delicate pastel floral print.

Brie - I knew you'd pop up when you saw the scarf. 

It was tied on a rail with lots of other scarves, all priced at £1.99.
I was pretty sure it was special when I touched it and then when I saw the label...

And no...I won't sell it. 

I do have the most fabulous silk scarf that I bought from eBay with Japanese-style flowers on a pale pink background, that's always been my favourite but I think this will take its place.
