unique things

You like unique things, don't you? laughed the little old lady in the charity shop this morning. She was talking about my coat, but I think she was also talking about the items I'd picked up and spent a whopping £7.25 on. One stripey jumper, one burnt orange top, a packet of pink and purple beads for my {rarely used, but full of junk} craft box, a weird little tiny doll {which matches two others I got at a charity shop in another town a few months ago} and a purpley-lilac lacy scrub thing that is used in the bath. It still had its brand new label on. Fifty pence? Bargain! I have to stop visiting charity shops. I bought some lovely homemade Christmas present tags in another shop on the High Street and yesterday I bought a jumper and a Dean & son Ltd. Enid Blyton book. The book gets ticked off, my collection gets bigger and I only have eight more books to find before the collection is complete. Phew. Still, I say I should stop visiting, but three tops and a bunch of rubbish for under twenty squids isn't to be sneezed at. Loving my Saturday.

Is she like me? Does she donate things she doesn't want anymore to charity and then just collect more things from the same or other charity shops?!

The moment you sighted the things you bought I am sure you must have smiled and wanted to buy them for yourself. These are little, little happy moments you had so please dont stop your shopping. Have a nice day

Indeed. Cheap items and the money goes to good causes, so I definitely won't stop shopping!
