Let Thrift shopping thrive in 25!

I love your necklace @Magpie100 I could really do with one of those.  I've started following a FB page called The Capsule Wardrobe and they showed charm necklaces so thought I'd have a look in Asd@ while I was shopping - all £10 or more!  I will start looking in the CSs when I can.

Although, I'm really envious of everyone who has £1 or £2 bargains - I was in BHF shop the other day and everything seemed to be priced the same - so every dress was £8 or more.  And there was nothing like the beautiful dress or blouse recently posted.  I may have to give up for a while and just follow everyone's fantastic bargains on here vicariously. :)

Don't usually buy furniture in the chazza shops, (got too much already), but could not resist this Laura Ashley chaise longue in the YMCA shop in Ripon.  Not a mark on it and looks new.....got it for £20.  The retail price was £1,050!!!  Also got this Beldray steamer unit thingy for £10 in the same shop.

I suspect this will be the same.... but at least it looks pretty and I can dump stuff on it😄

That chaise longue is gorgeous, @Miró, what a brilliant find. It would be perfect for my bedroom, I have envy now too.

I had a little mooch around the charity shops and the farmers’ market in one of the city suburbs today. No bargains to shout about, but was pleased with a couple of Babar storybooks for small granddaughter and delighted to find a brand new “Hospices of Hope” chazzer had opened up since my last visit. It looks like it’ll be a promising place 😀

I’ve also got massive chaise longue envy: I’ve always wanted one.

My recent finds:
Boden cream utility jacket £6.50. Yet another jacket eek.
Joules square necked blue and white long sleeve top £4.50.
Autograph black denim skirt £5 I think it’s BN.
Landsend bright pink cowl neck fleece top £3.50
North Face sky blue long sleeve top £2. It’s very warm!
New Look silvery cardigan £2. It doesn’t feel itchy which silver stuff can £2.
Primark black PE top.
Sky blue Sergio Todzi loafers which look unworn £5. Not leather but very nicely finished inside.

Years back when we were first house hunting we looked at this one place that was an absolute marvel.  Mid terrace house, newish build, nothing special from the outside.  Inside it was awash in muted pink and beige with a grand piano in the lounge.  And a muted pink chaise lounge.  With the biggest fluffiest white persian cat reclining on it and glaring at us.  Much as I like cats I knew not to try to pet it.  But also wondered how the chap who lived there managed to have the place so pristine with all that white fluff.

Anyways it was the best use of a chaise lounge I've ever seen.

Mine is so comfortable, I'd use it a great deal if I didn't always end up asleep in it!!
