The finds

from today's charity shopping.
A navy blue shirt with white dots, a red hat with netting and feathers, a red/white handbag and a teardrop shaped box with vintage flowers - to use for my hats! I also got two smokey colored lampshades made of glass, but they are still in the car so no piccies. All for a total of £4.25!

And, following on the theme of the day, SWAP PARTY, I came across a new SWAP SHOP in Gillingham. These people get to use this empty shop for a couple of months to raise awareness of sustainability and re-useage/re-cycling. They got a corner with clothes and other little bits and pieces. I didn't have anything to swap but they weren't very strict on it, so I was welcome to grab what I liked. I found this little Matryoschka family to come home with me. I also saw a cool pair of pilot glasses but didn't want to seem too greedy... Next time I'll bring some stuff in. I love the inititative!! I'm all for RE-CYCLY, RE-USE AND RE-PRODUCE!
And, they also did some card making workshops in there - for free. And offered tea and coffee.

Ok, gotta go check on that cake now.
