Category: Our Favourite Finds

Well, if this didn’t bring back memories. No, I’m not old enough to remember when these prints were a “thing,” but the eyebrows took me right back to the nineties. I have many regrets. Anyway, while we were browsing the loveliness at Charis, we came across this rather special little print for just 50p. Mabel Lucie Attwell was a British...

We don’t bring home every favourite find, so here are some of the best bits of our charity shopping adventures this month. This find is obviously one that we can’t bring home – but it made me smile so here it is. Beyond the sign is not a secret nudist colony as you might hope, but a furniture and bric-a-brac...

What have we found? Every now and then we come across what can only be the results of someone’s Big Clear-out. Yesterday we found a box of annuals from the mid eighties and early nineties that brought back a lot of happy memories. They only cost a pound each, and were in excellent condition. There was also a huge pile...

It looked to me like a dog toy or a baby’s rattle. My husband wasn’t so easily fooled, though, and he knew it was worth a second...

What Have we Found? This handsome black military-style jacket just jumped off the rail into my hands one day. I wasn’t leaving that shop without it. Depending on your age, you might think “Adam Ant” (me, I’m old) or “My Chemical Romance” (anyone younger than me.) The reason we picked this up was actually because our oldest son is a...

I think its safe to say that I won’t be going skiing anytime soon, and if I was, I wouldn’t be able to squeeze myself into this, but… look at it. The shellsuity vibe, the colours, the cinched in waist with webbed belt, I love everything about it. What is it? Its a little bit of 90s retro vintage fabulosity,...
