Absolutely lovely! And I know what you mean about the high prices some places on second hand goods--actually makes me rather angry, this greediness. I love the little gardening book... I like to come across old books like that. The vest is a knock out! Not sure what color to add with it, I'd have to consult my color wheel. That tureen is lovely, and the 'Start Crochet' book will be wonderful.As you say, the techniques won't go out of style. I must tell you, on your comment on my blog, you mentioned wanting Indiana Jones to accompany on your treasure hunts---my brother--'Tom Terrific', lives in a town by the name of Indianola, and he calls himself 'Indianola Jones'. Have a great day!Joyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15471639876072617577noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4035487326592791885.post-87945523010776323402010-01-25T19:26:24.216+00:002010-01-25T19:26:24.216+00:00Love all your wonderful finds especially the turee...Love all your wonderful finds especially the tureen which looks great but is so useful too. I know how you feel about getting out to the charity shops, I got real withdrawal symptoms during the bad weather. I have found bargains a bit thin on the ground since Christmas, I think a lot of the shops are struggling for donations so I do try and take stuff along as well as to buy.<br />Ann xAnniehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10563432555240287691noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4035487326592791885.post-26023126848511976982010-01-25T14:50:37.372+00:002010-01-25T14:50:37.372+00:00Just discovered your blog [via Floss] and had to r...Just discovered your blog [via Floss] and had to read every post right back to the start.

I still do a bit of charity shop stuff here but it's not so good, although I did find a brilliant flower pressing book with vintage pages and waxy sleeves that would be fantastic as a journal<br /><br />Have a lovely weekend and thanks so much for visiting me, I always love hearing from you!<br /><br />Carolyn xLOVE STITCHING REDhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00341709061400827643noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4035487326592791885.post-11782613836477790932010-01-23T18:37:03.179+00:002010-01-23T18:37:03.179+00:00Cute post!

We have alot of similar interests!!<br /><br />Isn't is great fun to go thrifting when you "Are Free"--just luv, luv, luv 'Are you being Served?'--bought myself the whole set at Christmas time and am loving watching them. It's such a thrill when you find something really good!! And you found a whole bunch of something goods!! You've inspired me to head out on my own treasure hunt tomorrow!!

I'm envious...<br />I know what you mean about being FREE and OUT - I felt just the same way, it feels like we've been housebound for weeks doesn't it? So lovely to get out!<br />And totally agree with you on the CS price tags - what on earth are they thinking of with some of those prices? Aren't CS's meant to shift items quickly? Who's going to pay £6 for a bobbly, colour washed out tee shirt ???????<br />Luckily there are a few of our locals with realistic CS prices.<br />Enjoy your new found freedom, and thank you for all your get well wishes and comments,<br />Denise xA Bun Can Dancehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02230119874949525088noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4035487326592791885.post-70190357993141000152010-01-19T22:55:40.575+00:002010-01-19T22:55:40.575+00:00Those are wonderful treasures.
I know what you ...Those are wonderful treasures. <br /><br />I know what you mean about some places, my Grandmother donated some items to a well known charity shop and few days later noticed that they had priced them for much more than she had paid when new. It wasn't like they were antique or anything, just basic modern items.Cheryl@Gingerbread Craftshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12189189331024564663noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4035487326592791885.post-78932982378316021732010-01-19T16:41:48.647+00:002010-01-19T16:41:48.647+00:00Good thing we are separated by the pond.
