Oh my goodness nearly four months without being able to explore the delights of a charity shop, I have sooooooo missed a mooch. Well, I hung on until Tuesday before venturing out and oh it felt like bliss, even if I didn’t buy that much ………
My foot for scale in second picture.
……. however I did buy…….., a huge bag of wooden building blocks for just £2.50! I did hesitate, as I need to find a place to keep them, but as soon as I saw them my mind was racing, after the success of my Jenga block snowmen, to all the other block ideas I’ve seen on Pinterest for Christmas and Halloween. I’ve already sent Marc over a picture saying that when I go over to the cottage, legally, for Eurovision we can busy ourselves by either re-painting them or sanding them down to make them look rustic and aged. I just need to sort out the shapes and sizes and see what combinations I can make up and how to decorate them.
I also found this extremely kitsch 50’s/60’s piggy bank, complete with stopper for 50p, it’ll probably end up in my festive tut sack, but for now she’s making me smile on the side in the kitchen.
The Works was also open, I went in hoping to find some more butterfly wings (no luck there), but these packets of 15 wooden fruit beads were a no brainer for 25p …….
…… as were the alphabet charms ………..
……. made all the more sweeter by the fact that I had £1.50 on my Works card, so in the end I only paid 50p for the lot. I just need some ideas ……… though I am sure Iris and Bertie would also appreciate a bag of the letters to “do something with” ………………
