CHARITY SHOP FINDS

Hello everyone!

Just a quick post today. I'm packing for moving back to University tomorrow and so far I have 2 giant suitcases filled with clothes and 5 large cardboard boxes filled with books, Fashion magazines, bags, hats, my TV, XBOX, ornaments, jewellery etc... I'm not even sure if I'm done yet but I'm so tired I'm calling it quits for now and I shall leave it for a last minute rush in the morning.

As you know, I ventured to the charity shop yesterday in search of vintage pottery, plates, antiques, vases, jewellery boxes and lamps for my new room. Sadly, I found none of this. However, I DID manage to purchase some incense from a very strange Pagan-ran shop called 'Merlin's Grove' AND I snatched up a Burberry scarf in Sue Ryder (local charity shop in town) for............ £1.25!!




I did all the on line checks to see if it is real - checking the tag, material and check of the scarf and its passed with flying colours! I believe someone passed it on to the charity shop not mentioning it was Designer or not knowing it was Designer and therefore they've priced it so low. 

Since I couldn't get any cool pottery for my new house to decorate my room, my neighbour helped me out and gave me some pieces.





I got a crystal jam dish a crystal grapefruit dish, two bowls, a green scarf and a leopard print scarf and finally a green leather bag.

I can't wait to redecorate my new room. I'm really sad to be leaving but excited at the same time. London Fashion Week is coming too - I can't wait!

Wish me luck, I'm nervous for going back and moving into a strange new house. Excited for burning my new incense though - I'm letting my inner hippie out...

xoxo

    Wow! Bargain :) I know you'll be smug wearing that.
    I love charity shops because you never know what you're going to find.
    I just did a small post about some stuff I found but certainly not as good as that.
    Have a wickid time going back to uni. I moved last Sunday to a new flat and finally slept in a fully made bed last night haha!

    Hi everyone. Thank you for your lovely comments.

    I'm back at University now and this was my first day. I'm settling in quite well despite missing home and still finding my feet.

    We do not get WIFI (internet) until next Monday so it will be a while until I can do a blog update or reply personally to comments. I am using the library computer just now and only have time to reply on here!

    I promise I'll get back to everyone after London Fashion Week - I leave on Thursday and come back on the following Wednesday. Expect a big blog update then!

    In the mean time, let me know if you choose to follow my blog. Leave links here :)

    Thank you again,

    A xoxo
