Fab trench @Miró ! The posy bowl is cute too.

*Embarrassed face*.....me again!! 

Went for a wander around Wetherby today, not one of my usual haunts but noticed at least half a dozen chazza shops.  Bought a book....' Debrett's Etiquette and Modern Manners' £1.50....only cos it was beautifully bound & in perfect condition despite being nearly 50 years old.  Does anyone need any tips on 'organising a ball in your private ballroom'? 

Update on the (uranium?) posy bowl!  It doesn't fluoresce under a UV torch but it does have those weird flashes of green in daylight.  Google has mixed opinions as to whether this is a uranium glass piece or not so I'm now totally confused about it!

Now you will be expected to act like a lay-dee! Do tell us when you are ready to come out as a deb

I went for a little wander whilst it was still light earlier and found I couldn't pass one of my favourite chazzers without peeking. I bought 2 trays - one round tin, one rectangular with ergonomic grips, 2 metal bookmarks and a microwaveable saucepan with lid for a grand total of £3.

I popped to our local chazza this weekend and managed to resist buying some bits I didn’t need… but I did return with 4 books which once read will be moved on. I was sorely tempted though.

Did the rounds of the Ripon chazza shops today.  Came away with an uranium glass posy bowl £8, an Autograph grey knee length skirt £2, a painting by a local artist £8 and a grey down gilet by Coercion £5.

Lovely pair of M&S cotton trousers £4.75 bought today.    Very pleased.

I went out looking for a top and a dog toy today. I bought a pair of wide fit brown boots for £7. The soles look unworn. I got a toy for my own dog, a stuffed giraffe, although I had been looking for one for my cousin's puppy. I also got a seagrass basket and a Kelly Holmes weighted skipping rope boxed up. I didn't find a top!

Only recent find…Jaegar navy blazer stylee jacket, Samaritans shop in Thirsk, £8, appears b/n as pockets are uncut and spare buttons still danglin’ in their little plastic bag.

Anyone else get the feeling peeps are putting stuff on Vinted and DePop these days instead of donating???

Beautiful jacket, @Miró. You might be right about the donations, sadly.
