@Potternerd - I love the cream and black dress. M&S but looks very Hobbs!

Tiny wooden 1930s chess set for my chess opponent. £1.50! Might save it as his Christmas present.

Looked up WB Overton and here he is!

love the writing on the chess set box.  reminds me when the OH and I were in Austria in a mountain hut run by the OAV (German walking club) and found a box with a chess set.  in the top of the box were names of the 2 opponents who obviously had returned to the same place each year to play - 2 German names and the dates were each year from about 1908 to 1914 and then nothing.  It was quite poignant.

Noodled through charity shops, resisted some Denby (by having 8 identical cups & saucers already), succumbed to necklace of black & white pearls & bugle beads - my “Christmas Look” sorted for £2.95! (As roaring impulses go, I think it’ll do, & an eBay similar thing was a tenner.) 

Saw a chap holding a quilted bright pink/purple winter coat & approved appreciatively “it’s your colour!” - he grinned, his wife did not. Her loss, it’s washable, warm & makes you easy to find.

Played a cheerful round of “hunt the decanter” - all too small or too fancy or the wrong shape, but I’ve not been in a charity shop for So Long…

Just books this week, 10 in total. To go with the other 210 that I need to find more bookshelf space for

Found nothing exciting lately, just a pair of boring black M &S trousers, £3.99 from Cancer Research, Northallerton and an M & S tartan straight skirt, £4.99 from Age Concern, Northallerton.

I found a useful vintage bundle for £5 at my favourite second hand shop online. A pretty, Irish linen tray cloth, which I use as large table napkins, and four cotton pillowcases. They are all hand embroidered.

Agree!  Love finding old linens.  Just a bit sad when they are unopened and in their original wrappings.  I imagine people saving them ‘for best’ and that ‘best’ never happening.
