Instead Of The Phone Dump

I really didn't have 15 photo's on my phone this week, to do a Friday Phone Dump (see last Friday), so instead I thought I would show you the things I picked up in the charity shop today. There are 6 charity shops on my way to and from nursery and I do pop in to them fairly regularly. I also moan quite a lot about the pricing in 4 of the 6 shops because I feel they are far too over priced. The Salvation Army shop seems to be the best for bargains and that's where today's purchases are from.

Striped tablecloth - £1.99
I know it is spoiling the look by plonking a big monitor on top of this, but the room is also a functional room and  this is what we do in here (download things, watch TV, and tucked underneath is a PS2 and a PS3).

Clock £1.99
Would you call this a starburst clock? I guess it is sort of. Anyway, it suits the room very well, and so far seems to keep good time.

Glasses / Egg Cups - £1 for the set
These London Monument glasses were so cute I couldnt leave them behind at £1. When I was very young, I was given a lemonade in a tall gold rimmed glass and cordial undiluted in a glass just like these, every New Year. It was the children equivalent of  'a pint and a nip'. I may have to reinstate it for Oscar next New Year.

And finally since I don't much like putting photo's of myself up, I will slip this in at the end, a vintage style 'Skating Hat' I knitted for myself in a couple of hours (I can see myself knitting up many colours of these for next winter).

If anyone wants the pattern, let me know and I will write it up.

Have a lovely weekend

    Love the hat, would love the pattern.
    The eyelashes in the post below look fab too (and the boots), I have never had much success with false lashes either, but now I might give them a try.

      Haha, well its a cheek for me to call it a pattern as such because it was so easy, but I will write it up. The boots take me right back to being a student lol, even if I am an old fart.
