Charity shopping.

I had one trip the charity shops on the way home, and came home with all of this (plus a dress, that was in the wash!),

My mum's friend gave me her copies of the Terence Conran House Books ages ago and I sent them to the charity shop when I moved house.  Which I regretted.  They have amazing retro interiors photos in.   I bought an edition of The House Book for £1 from the library book sale, then picked up an earlier edition, and a copy of Plants at Home second hand online too.
Terence Conran's The House Books, and Plants at Home, £1 from library book sale, and about £3 each online.

You can't tell from this photo, but this is a stack of 5 (FIVE!) Kiln Craft Baccus plates.  Which is my absolute favourite make and design of 1970's plates.  I couldn't resist them!

This Hornsea Saffron pepper shaker pot came with an extra special free gift, a load of gross old white pepper in the bottom!

I'll admit I can't remember when or where I bought this, but it was definitely from a charity shop, and it's super cute.  The pale blue bits of glaze are raised so it's lovely and texture-y.
Plant pot, can't have been more than a pound, from one of the local charity shops! 


Have you had any luck in the charity shops lately?

  1. Yes - a recent happy find for me was a skirt. I might even blog about it. I follow another blog and as part of her knitted jumper 'show and tell' was beautiful kilt based skirt for a mere £180 .... err no thanks. A year later, a random ruffling around in a charity shop produced a very similar one but in different colours for the grand sum of (drum roll please) £4. Happy me :)

  2. I am always tempted by sets of crockery but after a disaster including a tea jar and a carrier bag breaking I’m always very worried 😂

    1. Aww no that sounds like a sad thing! Luckily I had my sturdy jute shopping bag with me, I wouldn't trust a carrier with heavy crockery!

    2. Since then I have ALWAYS had my tote bag with me!

  3. I'm avoiding the charity shops at the moment, unfortunately, as I want to do a little decluttering. As soon as I have a bit of space, I'll be out looking for some more little treasures :) (Love the 70s plates, the blues and mustards are gorgeous!)

    1. I declutter as I go, I have a one in one out system! And luckily my husband is quite clumsy, he frequently breaks crockery which gives me a great excuse to buy more!

  4. Happy New Year Susie.
    I have the tea, coffee and sugar jar of the Hornsea Set in my home, picked up from a chariyt shop many ears ago. I haven't picked up anything for a little while, as I want to declutter - starting with some cookbooks. I have no space for new ones received over Christmas, so some have to go to the charity shop

    1. Happy new year to you Shaheen! I'm envious of your Hornsea set, I'm always on the look out for that pattern but always find the other ones!
