Saturday Finds

I paid a visit to my favourite charity shop today and managed to come home with some good finds

Pyrex seemed to be the theme of the day first with these 2 bowls

and then these plates and bowls

I wasn’t sure whether to buy these or not but then I imagined the plates in the Autumn with shepherds pie and apple crumble on them and they fell into my shopping basket!

A pretty tablecloth

And of course no thrifting trip is complete without Enid Blyton books

And a lucky Ladybird find and some vintage knitting needles

Tomorrow mum and I are off to a boot sale to get rid of some bits and pieces following a clear up. Hopefully I’ll be able to sneak off and spend some earnings

    Yes I loved the Duchess, you told me on your blog that you liked it too! You were absolutely right.

    Such a pretty tablecloth you found! Ive been starting to buy some nice ones lately too.
    Enid Blyton use to be a favourite read of mine, i should really invest in some of the older books. Theyr'e such lovely stories arent they :)

    Great finds Victoria. If you are a fan of Enid Blyton, I know of a site you may be interested in, it is worth a look just to see how pretty it is, and they do a Fireside Journal!

    Also, some time soon, BBC4 will be putting on a drama about Enid Blyton, Helen Le Bonham Carter will be palyign Enid. xxxx
