I got the cutest set of magnets today:   

And this (for 10p):

The magnets are lovely!!  Not sure why anyone would need the book though...it's a universal truth that all cats are plotting our demise and are considering whether they would prefer us or fresh mice to nibble on.

@Brie and other scarf lovers may be interested in this video: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5LYAEz777AU&ab_channel=Wendy%27sLookbook . I'm probably quite boring using the drape and the wrap in the summer months,  and European loop in the winter when it gets cold.

The men's tie one is my standard for long silky scarves but there's some other interesting things on there - so thank you for posting.  I'm not too much into the bigger thicker scarves but do haul them out when the weather gets extra cold.  And if it's really bad I might have a silk one under stuff and the thicker one on top!!

@Rosa_Damascena - those magnets are gorgeous and very you too.

Is everyone else adding How to Tell if your Cat is Plotting to Kill You to their mental list of items to look out for? I am hoping to snaffle a copy myself to be able to read for fun.

Lovely magnets @Rosa_Damascena and lol to the book. What have I started? 🤣

Grab your copy of 'Is your cat...?' quick and get under cover: we've got a mention in Martin's newsletter!

Post brought me a Spode gold and white fleur de lis vase which was supposed to be Minton and a fish-shaped dish celebrating a fish festival in France. 

Oxfam is getting ridiculously expensive.

A bit late in the year I know, but may I join?
I've just relocated to Wales after 15+ years in France and am in the process of buying a house.  I've decided to try and follow a recycle/re-use regime whenever I can as my contribution to the planet.  Plus I love a bargain! 🤣

@Miró - very amusing to hear about the refurbished BHF shop and its leopardskin section, do take a photo to show us please.

Soz for the delay, finally remembered today!  Quite a lot of the items seem to have been sold but here is what's left.  Had to edit the pic into 2 bits as I caught a poor unsuspecting woman in the shot.

Todays jaunt got me a Mulberry stylee navy cross body bag, ideal for use in very wet weather, 99p, from St Gemma's, a big roll of wide elastic and a big roll of cream bias binding, 20p each from the 20p shop and a pair of Boden  cream slim/straight legged jeans as new but don"t fit so might put on Vinted, also 99p from St Gemma's.

Welcome!!

The rules here are simple.  Go into charity shops, buy fun stuff.  Post pics of what you find even if you don't buy it.  If you find any really nice scarves let me know and I'll send you my address so you can post them to me.  (preference is for silk, long slim scarves in very bright colours)
