I haven't had chance to photographed all my thrifted finds from yesterday but my eldest has photographed the vintage umbrella and suitcase.She wants to keep the brolly but I think I might ebay it!



It has a lovely curled handle and metal point at the other end. Very Audrey Hepburn I think!

Hello girls - I have been lurking for yonks but as I have nothing to show at the moment - have kept quiet! LOL

Have joined the new forum as I am itching to do something creative - just need to find some time :-)

Well done to you all - you have all got some great bargains and really transformed them - so inspirational - thanks for sharing all the tips - just shows that you don't need to spend a fortune to have a nice home :-)

Of course we will still post on here

Here are todays bargains

Teaset but alas without the teapot but I loved it £3.50, and tray was £1 in a charity shop a few weeks ago

Cups and saucers totaled about £4 and photo frames £1 each

Little bag £2.75 thought it would look nice hung in my bedroom

That's got a fab back. I think you are right not to paint it.

Your cat is fab. Well done - it looks an incredibly fiddly project.
The throw: I bought the exact same one yesterday! How weird is that! Bought it for my daughter to cut up to make things, as our local charity shops never have fabric, and it was ever so cheap.
