Our local charity shops seems a bit bare and well picked over as usual. 
I found this pin dish for £2, to remind me of the wonderful Wedgwood factory tour. It was fascinating seeing all of the skilled craftsmen and women in all of the stages of making a piece of Jasperware. 

It begs the question, are you going to use it or display it? I'd be scared of wrecking it.

Eta: I misread the post as being a pie dish! Yes I would happily use it as a pin dish.

Jasperware is very robust and it would take a lot to damage it!

Still stocking up food-wise and got distracted on my way into Booths supermarket in Ripon by the RSPCA chazza.  I seem to be into tartan at the mo….came away with an M & $ blazer for £8 🤭

I had this very jacket back in the early 90s.  I loved it and wore it to death.  😁. Love the Pearl pins too.

Cor blimey, you mean it’s 30 years old???  Oh well, that makes it retro cool 😊, (Dynasty vibes?).

Same here, everything well spaced out whereas before was cluttered.  Guess we have Vinted etc to blame?

Nope, insufficient shoulder padding

I relaxed my strict chazzer rules yesterday and bought 3 books for £1 each, and a further book for £3. I knew the chances of seeing these titles again were slim to nil so bit the bullet, which is a bit different from my preferred 4 for £1!

Interesting mixture of reading matter there, Rosa! And still a substantial saving on the original prices.

Three of those titles I would have picked up as well @Rosa_Damascena but I'm concerned for you picking the Rachel Watson one.    If it is for you then I hope you are getting support from a charity. I was lucky enough to have a charity help me with my court statement and then when i got there a domestic abuse charity was there with someone who could come in with me.   The book I read I would recommend as It calmed me down and was about the English system whereas that one is about Scotland (of course you may be in Scotland).

Sorry off topic but getting support in abuse cases made such a difference to my life that I felt I had to comment.  Hope all is well with you.
