Thrify Friday

A hic-cup with blogger has made posts disappear so here's my offering for yesterday reposted.

These are the fabulous buys from the charity shop a couple of doors down from the one I volunteer in.

A pretty pale blue coffee creamer for 30p.


A lidded glass dish. I don't know for sure what this would have been used for originally but I see it on a posh breakfast table housing either jam or butter curls. For £1.00 it seemed a snip.



Best buy of the day were these mugs. They were 3 of them and one still had the original Laura Ashley price ticket on the bottom showing they were £6.95 each. I paid 25p each!





A few weeks ago I had a very thorough sort out of S's wardrobe. She was 6 in Feb but most of her clothes now need to be for a 7 year old. The now too small items were donated to my sister for her car boot sale and since the clear out I've been keeping an eye out for bits and bobs for the summer months to come. These are a few of my favourites. The jeans were the most expensive at 79p, just love the embroidery around the bottoms, the rest ranged from 20p to 50p an item. A very economical way of keeping up with my ever growing daughter!

  1. Hi Lisa
    I dont blame you with the clothes for S
    There seems to be so much fast fashion around theses days, lots of clothes are hardly worn!

    Have a good weekend!

  2. What a lovely selection of clothes for S - honestly, I don't know why people buy new so much for kids when you can get fabulous second hand bargains like this. Almost all Will's clothes come from CS / bootsales. Have a lovely weekend x

  10. Great bargains and my absolute favourite thing to do (as you might be able to tell from my name). If I'm not working once my boys are both in school I may well volunteer - although I suppose it's frowned on to snaffle everything ;-)
