Shop Charity Store in '24!

Beautiful, @Frith. It is Denby Halo. The teapot from Denby costs £75.
I saw green Woods Berylware tea and coffee sets for £5 each, and stopped to think about them! Of course they were gone five minutes later.

@Nelliegrace - my sister collects Woods ware.

The Denby this morning was very expensive. A quick look suggested between £8 and £20 per piece/little collection.

I bought this cute mug today to go with my new tea advent calendar. I also found a beige Zara trench coat for £15. I'm thinking about dyeing it a different colour.🤔

Bromsgrove today. Really good for charity shops.

I was there last week, but didn’t do quite as well as you. I managed a Jack Wills raincoat for a fiver
and some white stuffed jeans for £3.50. 

To be honest, I do have too many jackets but it does look quite smart and I thought it would do for theatre trips when it’s raining. 

We may have to create a secret MSE sign especially  for charity shops.

@elsien - Hereford used to be my favourite but there are fewer charity shops there than there used to be. Ludlow still pretty good. 

Bromsgrove is about 10 miles from me. Stourport can also be decent.

Can’t remember the last time I went to Ludlow. Very occasionally, I head over Malvern way because that’s a nice day out walking as well as hitting the shops. 

Malvern has got a really big St. Richards hospice shop, which is good. I thought it was a shame that the one in Bromsgrove didn’t last.

Someone say Denby? And with photos?! Nelligrace is spot on, that ls Halo & my cousin would be reaching out with both hands as that's her house pattern. OK she has 4 grandsons at the imminently & already pulling-things-over stage but some things are a Sign from the Fates. (House pattern got me a free pass from the Aquiz Committee, think her husband would probably nod & much later blink - didn't he see that teapot in another room?!)

There's a new & interesting possible branch of divination, by find from chazzer...   I foresee Rosa caffeinated & cosy, Frith elegant & Wednesday2000 gently awash?

Be careful what colour you choose, as the stitching will very likely stay beige.

I like the silver tote, I'm sure you will get a lot of use out of it. You made me look twice at my huge trusty shopping bag (it was unthinkable to carry one just 10 years ago) and although it is still functional, it does look a little battered now so could do with a refresh. Luckily I have plenty in supply!
