A little display house for tiny treasures. |

Furry fleece jacket. I cannot decide if this is so wrong in style terms...I feel like I am wearing a bunny rabbit, but I was wearing it in the early mornings to school anyway until the rains came. So cosy and warm. |

Red metal tray now being used for scissors, tape and glue. |

Pretty pyrex dish with lid intact, I am using this a lot

Can you see? It's a china rabbit jelly mold still in the packaging. Childhood nostalgia item. Any tips on getting the jelly out intact? |
When not one but two charity shops opened at the end of my road recently,I knew I was in trouble. I walk past one of them
every time I go to buy bread and milk. Ah, temptation! But I have also been taking bags of stuff in, trying to stick to my one in/one out rule. I have been buying lots of lovely baby clothes in there for Rocket Girl. I found a brand new with tags fluffy Pikachu rucksack for Pokemon fan T. He liked it so much he was sleeping with it while he was ill a few days ago. It kind of doubles as bag and cuddly toy. I bought myself a lovey coral pink cardie and several bigger tops for feeding baby in. And, possibly the best find...a wooden doll's house. I can't show you as it has been in the garage for 6 weeks, in pieces, waiting to be assembled for Little I's birthday! That's on sunday so I am hoping to rebuild it tommorrow. Wish me luck. Anyone else found any good thrifts/charity shop scores recently?
I love the pirex dish. I'm a true fan of thrifting/ charity shops/ tips/ recycling centers. A good rummage is wonderful.
ReplyDeleteOh wow, having 2 charity shops so close does spell trouble! Good that you are giving as well as receiving, which is also facilitated by them being so close to you. And I guess there's a limited shelf life for Rocket Girl sized clothes to help bulk out your donations! Your latest finds are great - the display house is magical. And the fluffy jacket does look warm & cosy, & if it feels like that too you are onto a winner in the current weather! I hope you show us the dolls' house when it's been given & have a great Little I's birthday weekend
ReplyDeleteI have that exact same jelly mold! I haven't used it yet, so no tips...I'll let you know if it's hard to do or not!
ReplyDeleteOooh, luck you! And that display house is amazing. I'm jealous. ;-) But brocante (jumble sale) "season" is starting here, so hopefully I'll be finding treasures soon.
ReplyDeleteI love the displlay house! It would be cute spray painted in a bright clor too.
ReplyDeleteTwo shops?! That is dangerous! You found some wonderful treasures though!
ReplyDeleteLove & Lollies... Jessa
