More Charity Bargains

Look what I got yesterday, and fab bargains they were too, we went down into the town were the yearly Victorian Weekend was being held, I got them from an Animal Charity stall, there were quite a few lovely things I would have liked, but as usual I had hubby and the kids with me so had to hold back a little.

The pictures were 50p each, I have already painted the frame of the larger one, it was a very dark wood and did nothing for the print. The plates are so pretty, I must get a better pic at some point, they were 50p for the 2 and the glass candle holder was also 50p, so all that booty cost me all of £2.00. I will be painting the other frame too, but need to get some primer as I think it is some kind of plastic.

We were going to pop to the boot sale this morning, but it has poured down all day, very miserable, so instead, as well as painting the frame I have been preparing myself for back to school tomorrow, making sure everything is ready. The kids have just gone out for a walk with our next door neighbours, I am sure they will have loads of fun and come home soaked to the skin, ready for a lovely warm bath.

Thanks for visiting, take care

New Look

Do you like my new banner and colour scheme??? my wonderful friend Tracy did my banner for me using a picture of my lovely angel that I made a while ago.

Its so busy here right now as we have my step daughter staying for three weeks, but I thought it was about time I updated again, although updates may be few and far between until the end of the month. So here is a picture of my candlesticks and cheap charity shop find pictures (in IKEA frames) on my vintage sideboard/chest of drawers in the dining room.


I also thought I would give a sneak peek of my post on IACW on Sunday, make sure you pop over and have a look.Trish xxx

A Few More Charity Shop Bargains

Recently I have been looking for Glass candlesticks all thanks to Kristy of Vintage Pleasure and have found these five at local Charity Shops, they look so pretty all stood together on my windowsill in the dining room with tiny pink gingham ribbon tied round each of them, I took the pic outside as its quite dark with this dreary weather indoors at the mo. They were all bargains the two pinky ones were 60p each, the tallest one was £1.25, the tiny one 59p and the pretty cut glass one was £1.
I also got this pretty china cake plate for £1.49 isn't it sweet? I have made a banana cake today so will be serving it on the plate later. I think my hubby is getting used to me buying what he might call tat!!! and just lets me get on with it now.

There is a car boot sale locally tomorrow morning so if I can get myself out of bed I will pop along to that, I might find some more lovely bargains if I am lucky.
