Charity Shop Treasure...Lloyd Loom Washing Basket...

I bought this lloyd loom linen basket in the charity shop today, it was priceless, so I carried it up to the till and asked the lady how much she wanted for it.....



£3!!!!!!!  I've been watching these on Ebay for ages and the prices range from 99p (pick up only and Always miles away from me!) to into the £100!  This is perfect for in my bathroom, although it is particularly dirty and will get a nice coat of white paint first!

I've had loads of other bargains too recently, which I must get round to photographing!

Have you found any wonderful bargains?

Linking up with Lakota's Ta-Dah Tuesday!

  3. Brilliant!! I've got something similar ... I used spray paint ... much faster than applying by brush and VERY even!

    1. Oh that's a good idea - would have been much easier (not that I did the actual painting, paint sets my asthma off, but it would have been easier for my assistant (mum!)!)
