The Cost of Living: Charity Shop Treasures

Now the move in date is quickly approaching me and my man sauntered around various shops at the weekend for practical items, err how hard is it to find super king size bed linen? answer = very!  My favourite destinations are always the charity shops and second hand haunts. The most expensive of the items pictured are the gorgeous cigarette cards from eBay at £7.45 that I have had for a few weeks.






The delightful flower lamp, I spied at a second hand shop in my soon to be new home town of Edgeley, it was priced up as £7 and I nearly peed with excitement when I saw what a bargain it was, then I got to the till and the owner knocked it down to £5 without me even haggling - something I am incapable of doing. The toile de jouey curtains were another bargain from another second hand shop at £4,even if I don't use them as curtains I can turn them into a dress.




I also found this pretty gold frame which is a lot larger than it looks for £2 and the crystal chandelier for £3.99. The charity shop gods were shining on me this weekend I tell ya. 



 Right now I should be packing but I am going to pin curl my hair, eat cake and watch Flame & Citron.
