Right now, last week was a wonderful mamouth charity marathon...and after yesterdays off topic discussion about a certain dress I shall get back to the business of thrift.
At times I wonder if I am turning a bit loopy (or a bit more as there is already quite alot of loopiness about my person) as I rush through the door of the age concern shop almost shoving old folk out the way in excitment..(i did restrain myself and held the door open though).
Huffing when there is a browser in my fabric, curtain & sheet corner and grabbing wildly just in case another has the idea that they should like to own these little lovlies. Am I the only one who often wishes for the use of a trolley in these abodes...
Quite often I don't bother with the posh charity shops in town (Mary Queen of shops you are a menace) as the new colour coded fashion schemes & primark cast offs at double the price don't tend to send me into a fit of rushing, shoving & grabbing...but i decided whilst waiting for himself to browse the 'new' computer game store that I would have a gander.
And such delights it had to share a perfectly small, green & much desired baby hermes sitting all alone on the bottom shelf amongst the Asda cast offs...the grabbing was swift as you can imagine.
So the Litton has a new friend and both boys can type at the same time thus avoiding hideous fights & bickering
Ooooooooh..... *sigh*
ReplyDeleteTreasures indeed!
I know what you mean about grabbing everything in sight you might possibly even think about considering lol, and other people browsing in your oppy, I mean really, the cheek!
I always grab too just in case someone else wants the retro curtains etc! Gorgeous typewriter too.
ReplyDeleteI too am mourning the demise of the traditional charity shop. Second hand Primark just doesn't have the same appeal does it?
ReplyDeleteNeed to improve my grabbing techniques though - I'm too much of a deliberator and consequently go home all too often with empty bags and a heart full of regret!
