Thrifting..

Had a good morning - after dropping off 3 boys at their respective places for the day, me and baby dollop parked up and went into 2 charity shops to hunt for goodies!
We went to 2 shops and £1 in each later.....

The cake plate and the little shot glasses were from one place, and the pretty plates, scrabble letters (It was a game but just kept the letters for craft ideas I will probably never get round to!), aswell as 4 paperbacks were from another.

No glass candlesticks today and I also missed out on a pair of curtains in a liberty style floral fabric by seconds! A nice lady got there first, who told me she was going to turn them into a throw for her daughters bed...so i didn't mug her on the way out for them! Better luck next time!

Think we may turn tuesday into thrifty tuesday! I also saw a big pine table in a 2nd hand furniture shop, it was shut so need to pop in there and check out the price - I could be 1 step closer to my mis matched chairs and table plan!!
