  • I had a good day thrifting today.Picked up a boxed set of vintage desert fork with different coloured handles (just like Cath Kidston!),a couple of pillowcases,8 Jasmine Wood Ware plates and a snowflake divided Pyrex casserole all for the princely some of £4!! I'll post some photos tomorrow when they've all had a clean.

    Do you go out with the specific purpose of thrifting or are you just out shopping generally and just happen to bump into a thrift shop;) nice finds, by the way.

    whats everyone up to today?? Im going to give the sewing machine table yet another coat of paint, sort more stuff out for another car boot sale and then bake for the rest of the day (i only have 2 out of the 4 kids as 2 are now staying at family for the rest of the holidays so i stand a chance of actually getting something done!) :rotfl:
