Thrifty Tuesday

Tuesday is my favourite day for having a rummage at the thrift shops. Today I went to my best one, the good old Salvation Army…




yummy pyrex, I left this…great restraint needed




knitting needles, zips and other craft items


These are my purchases...


A Gaytime Assortment biscuit tin, this must be from the 70's with it's the ubiquitous brown, orange and snazzy doily pattern!


and this sweet embroidered napkin


I got this for my Niece…



and left behind a small wooden painted shelf which I think I'll have to go back a get, hope it's still there!

  2. Hello, definitely worth doing, I buy clothes to cut up for material, sheets and duvet covers, buttons, wool the lot, it's a fraction of the price and for a good cause too! I'll be over in a tic to check out your blog x
