My tree decorations are a real mish mash. I try to pick one up everytime I go away. Unpacking them at xmas is always very nostalgic, as I try and remember where I got them all from. And of course gift ones are fab too. :) shazzahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05865141472266504951noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7203323287774911355.post-79412033872366054662017-11-19T17:27:07.607+00:002017-11-19T17:27:07.607+00:00Hi Elaine, thanks so much for visiting :)

I always feel sad when I spot handmade blankets in the charity shop for really cheap prices - the wool cost more than £6 not to mention the time and love in it!

I love the Christmas decorations, they remind me of the ones we had when I was little, before the minimal, Scandi aesthetic arrived. On my recent charity shop trips,I have found some plant pots, a (sort-of) Christmassy plate, a pot with lid for the bathroom, and a candle dish. Very pleased with them all...!Elainehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02353932919544437033noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7203323287774911355.post-41086953033545540842017-11-12T17:43:01.140+00:002017-11-12T17:43:01.140+00:00I also agree with the 'handmade looking handma...I also agree with the 'handmade looking handmade' comment! You did well, esp the Salad spinner since you wanted one. I want to find a nice pyrex dish for microwaving things at home and school rather than plastic so I want to keep an eye out for that too. <br />I bought a few things from the charity shops on Saturday- a pack of 6 cotton hankies for 99p (I use cotton hankies), a Cath Kidston gadget case for a present, 2 Sherlock DVDs and a Agatha Christie plus a black cardie (I always need them) and some brand new navy blue t-shirts I want to experiment on and upcycle with a collar for a Clara project!!Kezziehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15705356707599121605noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7203323287774911355.post-34769891755058662592017-11-12T16:49:12.285+00:002017-11-12T16:49:12.285+00:00Ooh that blanket is lovely!

I agree with the comment that it's nicer for handmade things to look handmade too.<br /><br />I've had a few good things from the charity shop recently, nothing exciting, but very useful. thrift deluxehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12267215022924475298noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7203323287774911355.post-85683931181666848612017-11-11T19:30:23.209+00:002017-11-11T19:30:23.209+00:00A lot of work has gone into tht blanket - I like t...A lot of work has gone into tht blanket - I like things a bit uneven and 'wobbly', they have the true handmade look, I hate handmade things that are just too perfect - you may as well just go and buy a mass-produced one !
