A bag of sewn up patchwork shapes - £3.00 (to be used in lots of other projects)
4 lovely scarves - £4.00 - soon to be handles for pillowcase totes
A pair small wooden knitting needles - 50p, to be used as corner tuners
One of those folding sewing/knitting bags - £2. I have a few. I keep class projects in them as they are easy to carry in the car
A bag of cotton lace - £2, I will be tea and coffee dyeing it as soon as find a bucket

Can you tell me more about tea and coffee dying?

Also, what are corner turners?

These little glasses for £2, in BHF. No idea how old they might be, or what's "meant" to be drunk from them, but they're very pretty & I've had my eye on them since before Christmas so was pleased they were still there.

An O de Lancôme (an old favourite of mine) gift set, 50 ml eau de toilette and body lotion. The scent smells perfect. The set cost £7. I love a rummage in a charity shop. You never know what you will find.

I took some books in to ‘clear some space’ and saw a beautiful sofa. I bought it and then my husband and I had to fit it in our estate car when we went back to collect it the next day.
For some reason he was muttering something about having no space in the car or house for it? 😉

2 kids books for my WW2 topic at school this term and a knee-length Cinfy Crawford cardigan.... love it!
