Charity shopping.

Technically, I haven't bought any of these things, they were all presents! 

This is Oscar Gerald, he's been sitting in the charity shop window for weeks, unclaimed, until Joe bought him home for us after a particularly poopy week.

My mum got me this awesome bit of vintage woven trim from her charity shop.

Vintage trim, present, local Oxfam shop.

My Aunty Rose (not my biological aunty, but the lovely lady who I lived next door to for 25 years) passed away a little while ago and this is some of the stuff from her house that was deemed not good enough for the charity shop.  It's all a little chipped but I don't mind!  I love the Phoenix flowery dish and the snowflake Pyrex, and I just couldn't see all those glass dishes go to the landfill.  The big clear bowl is Pyrex and I'll use it for baking.  I've also made use of Aunty Rose's colander in the garden.

My Aunty Jenny (my biological aunty this time!) saved these from going into the bin at her charity shop up in Widnes.  There's several meters of woven garland, a little rug and whatever these pretty knitted thingys are.  There was loads more in the bag too, more knitted stuff and socks and gloves, I chose what I wanted and the other stuff went to my mum's charity shop, I believe to be sold by Oxfam at festivals. 

Have you bought, or not bought, anything good from the charity shops lately?
