Thank you @Brie
, I have already had some bargains that I'll photograph and post over the next week.
I'll keep my eye out for scarves too - not many around in south Wales. My Welsh DDil says it's because it rains here! 🤣🤣 I call it Welsh Mist, some days the mist is heavier than others.Aiming for a Champagne Lifestyle on a Lemonade Budget

Mum bought me some more of these on the last day of trading at our local Wilko earlier this week - for just 17p each! Ideal as I have plenty more scarves that need hanging.
