A beautiful olive green velvet cusion for 50p and for my grandma (who had only asked the day before) a barbie doll so she can make another toilet roll holder (lol) for 20p. A dart board and case with chalk boards attached for £1 and a spool of vintage blue lace trim for £1, and a mink fur collar for £1. Every item on my shopping list I got, I cant say the mink was on it but I havnt got one so it had to be done. <br />I went with a budget of £13 and came back with £9.20 and an arm full of delights!! <br />A super duper day and it is still making me smile on tuesday. <br /><br />xxAnonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02210975100325857770noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3532409850252086723.post-74916581736929487792012-09-17T18:54:24.616+01:002012-09-17T18:54:24.616+01:00Whoa, LOVE the embroideries and how very polite yo...Whoa, LOVE the embroideries and how very polite you were not to storm in!

Instead I go late and rely on there being fewer temptations. Amongst the baby clothes, plastic toys and mountains of tat tis morning I picked up a really beautiful blue and white china jug. Ok its spout is badly mended but it cried out to me to rescue it and give it a new home. It will now be given pride of place on top of my dresser that has all my other blue and white china.<br /><br />What I did see and was very sorely tempted by but resisted was a toddler's rocking toy. The one where there is a horse like a merry-go-round horse and a seat behind it. I've probably described it badly but I am sure you will know the sort I mean. It was £35 so stayed where it was.

I made a dignified exit but told them both thats not really the way.<br /><br />Happy booting!katysclutterhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08743850621923361201noreply@blogger.com
