This Week's Adventures in Thrifting

It's felt like an age since I last hit the charity shops.  The daily grind really can wear you down to the point where you don't have the time or the energy to do the things you really want to do.  I made a determined effort to put that right this week with some thrifting therapy.  Here are my rewards:-

1970's single duvet cover.  Might end up in my pile of unused vintage fabrics forevermore, or I could feasibly use it for Little Miss Nearly-5's room

I have a real weakness for plates.  I got these two sets of six.  The set on the left is Arcopal (like a French version of Pyrex) which I just love.  I was taken by the cutesy ditsy flower print.  I can't place the era to the set on the right.  The colour scheme of grey and pink might suggest 1980's but they were just so pretty I couldn't resist.  

I think they'd be fab to serve marshmallow themed desserts on!

Set of 3 kitschy fruit glasses 

 Eightiestastic leather bag

 

 Red cardi wih heart buttons

Last but not least and again not strictly thrifted, a new Barry M nail varnish in 'Berry Ice Cream'.  I can never resist a bit of Barry M.  They have such a rainbow range of pretty colours, and at £3 a pop, it's such a harmless little treat to yourself.  I'm gonna have the whole collection pretty soon, I'm sure.

So that's my lot, and very happy I am with it too!  Off to link up with Sophie Isobel to share the wealth.  Do take the time to go and check out everyone's else's finds.  It's a real fun interactive thrifters-of-the-world-unite thang! :)
