Charity Shop Treasure...Embroidery, Piggy Bank and Plant Pots...

Here are my finds from the past couple of weeks...


This piggy bank was 50p from the charity shop! 


See how nice he looks with my other piggy banks!


This is my new favourite...I this little house embroidery on the shelf and wavered a bit about buying it, but when I picked it up I saw the sweet message on the back and had to have it.  £2 from the charity shop.  I am very curious about Candy and Lola, I have googled them but nothing came up.



The yellow plant pot was 75p from the charity shop, it looks like it was something someone handmade in a pottery class.  I finally managed to get myself out of bed on a Sunday morning, in time for the car boot sale today.  I have no excuse really as it's a 5 minute walk from my flat.  This vintage owl mug was 50p and I bought it this morning.


This retro plant pot matches my other speckly/floral plant pots.  'Twas 50p in the charity shop.

Have you bought anything magical lately?

Linking up with Lakota's Ta-Dah Tuesday.

    Ooh I like the owl mug, he's cool. I'd probably put a little plant in it. Candy and Lola could only be American, couldn't they?

      I am going to put a plant in the owl mug, the mug cupboard is full!

      I love my American friends Candy and Lola, I just wonder how they ended up in a charity shop in Telford!

    Candy and Lola - what a story!

      Thank you, I am! I've put a little plant in the top so he looks like he has hair. It amuses me greatly!

    My mum has that owl mug - she bought it from John Lewis in 1974!

      Aww I like the thought of that! Maybe our owl mugs were made at the same time! Maybe they're owl mug brothers! :)
