I had a moment in the charity shops this weekend. I spotted something I Loved and it make my heart skip a beat.
And then I had to guard it from other shoppers while the shop staff decided on the price (trust me to pick the only item on the shelf with no price sticker!). I swear, I almost growled at a man who got too close to it!
Look! Made in the German Democratic Republic coffee pot and 4 cups. It's so beautiful!
£4.99, local charity shop.
I've always wanted one of these retro wooden antelope, and now I have two! I don't recall ever seeing a tiny baby one before either, but he's so cute.
99p and 49p, local charity shop.
I like this plant pot. I have another similar but bigger one too.
50p, local charity shop.
Have you bought anything so lovely it made your heart skip lately? I hope you have!
Don't forget to check out my many, many other charity shopped treasures, and follow me on Instagram to see more!
I actually let out q little noise (somewhere between a squeal and a sigh) at how beautiful that coffee set is! Jealous 😂
ReplyDeleteHaha! I made a little noise in the shop! :)
DeleteOh, that coffee set! My fiancé and I constantly search for things like that, especially considering it's from the DDR! Your other finds are so well priced. I found a novelty bag and a new dress today in Barnardos, it didn't make me squeal but it's pretty sweet!

I tend to get really lucky on prices, I live in a little town with lots of cheap charity shops! I love that my coffee set is from the GDR, so exciting!
DeleteLove the sound of your new dress and especially the novelty bag! :D
Fab find! x
ReplyDeleteThank you :)
DeleteIt's so pretty!!!! I am glad you got it! I remember letting go of a rucksack in an outdoor shop that was closing down and some horrid little oik went and picked it up, didn't really want it and his mum persuaded him into it! How dare she!x
ReplyDeleteHow very dare she indeed, did she not know that was YOUR backpack! Pffft!
DeleteOh how wonderful, the colours are super vibrant too - super purchase.
ReplyDeleteThank you, I very much love it a lot! :D
Deletewooow, that coffee set is a real steal and such a lucky find! over here that is also a good find when it turns up but never seen a coffee pot with the cups and they are also not that cheap. you must have been in retro heaven!
ReplyDeleteYeah, it was a really lucky find! I feel a teeny bit bad because the price wasn't on it and the manager wasn't in the shop so the volunteers made up a price - I think it was waaay too low, I hope the manager wasn't cross with them (I think she knows her stuff because she seems to wear awesome vintage outfits!)
DeleteBeautiful coffee set. You really scored. I used to have some of those wooden antelope that my husband brought back for Africa in the 1980's. Thank you for sharing your finds at Vintage Charm. sb
ReplyDeleteThank you, I love the coffee set and the antelopes, I'm jealous you had the originals though! :)
DeleteYes I had a productive charity shopping day on Saturday, must do a blog post on it this week! I love that coffee set, I wouldn't've been able to resist it either!
ReplyDeleteOoo yeah, do a post, I wanna see! :)
