Exciting News

Last Friday I was in a certain mall and was having a mini-fry when facing the cafe there was a Thrifty/Recycling shop - it had a beautiful sheep skin/chamois leather coat on a dummy. I tried it on and it is beautiful and very light as in weight with a hood. I got it for £15.

Today was in the same mall and came out with a beautiful dark green large shoulderbag - bedecked with beautiful jewels. It was £2.

I have loads of friends who love these Thrifties as we call them and I never could stand them that I would have stood outside waiting for them. Now I'll be back. Mind you there is nothing I need.

Could open a Thrifty myself.

Brilliant, I love a good thrift shop bargain.

A gorgeous maxi coat and handbags were my favourite buys too.

Thrift shops are fantastic, JJ. I always visit and get wool for my charity knitting and often something made of a fabric I can recycle into something else.
We have a great one in the village. There is a lady...don't know her...who lives nearby and only buys from expensive designers. For some crazy reason she mostly buys two of everything and we get the unused items.
Last year I sold about six pairs of Jimmy Choo shoes and boots, brand new, for about 100 euro a pair......no, I didn't buy any of them! :-)

I love a bargain Jenny but can't wear second hand clothes -just me -I wonder if the person who owned them died or something lol! Ive got lots of kitchen stuff though, like a brand new potato ricer with a £15 price sticker still on, for £1.50

APG I know what you mean, My MIL tried to give us a load of bedding on one visit I thought this very strange and asked her where she got it from.
Oh a nice chap down the road died and it from the house clearance!! She thought I was over reacting when I said that no way in this gods Green Earth is that coming with me!
