Charity shopping, the one with the retro wallpaper.

I had a trip to a nearby (slightly posh) town to take care of some business, and I couldn't resist a look in the charity shops while I was there!

When I was little I had a pincushion with little oriental men all the way round it, I think it came from my Grandma, and I sent it to the charity shop when I was a teenager.  I've regretted it ever since.  I was sooo happy to find this little box, even though the lid's busted, it brings back nice memories.

These plates were from a charity shop nearer to home, I couldn't resist.

I'm not sure what I'm going to do with this wallpaper, and I'm a little scared to open it, but I had to have it!

I also bought a very hippy dress from an amazing, huge charity shop, I'll show it to you soon! 

Have you bought anything amazing from the charity shops lately?

  1. Oh ! I used to have a pincushion like that ! 40-something years later, I have no idea where that ended up.
    Love the wallpaper. You could use it on a chimney breast or an alcove somewhere. I'm sure you'll find a way to use it.
    Great finds.
