These days, what with too much work and not enough time, Saturday mornings have become the magical window of opportunity to browse my local charity shops.
As always with charity shops, you have to be patient; there are certain things you are guaranteed to find (Primark rejects, over-stretched jumpers made of synthetic fibres, cook books on 'How To Microwave' from the 1970's), but be patient and you might just find yourself a gem for your wardrobe or your home (like great 1950's cookware, a fantastic leather frame handbag, or a designer dress priced at 50p - but that is rare).
I love the unexpected - the thrill of what could be in there and what bargains are waiting to be discovered. Don't you?
So I'll be dedicating regular posts to the goodies that i find (which gives me an excuse to keep on rummaging).
