Thrifty Thursday

I have had some really good buys during this past week, dare I mention even a couple of brand new items at very reasonable prices which will be Christmas presents for S.

Here are three of my favourites.

First up a water jug for £1.00. Can't believe this was left on the shelf of the charity shop I volunteer in for over a week, but I'm glad no-one else bought it so it got to be mine.


Star patterned fleece for £1.50. This may be used as a picnic rug, or it may stay indoors for snuggling, haven't decided yet.


Card organiser/filing box for £2.00. I have seen these many times before in the Phoenix catalogue and drooled over them. The selection of cards I have, that were in all jumbled and stuffed away in a drawer, have now been stowed away much more neatly and I feel a bit more organised.

  5. Good finds :) That blanket would also make a great back for a simple patchwork quilt :)

    One of my best friends is one of the Phoenix designers - though not the one that designed that box (love that print too).

  6. What a strange coincidence - I have that very same card filing box that you've got. Think mine was a present years ago. Very useful it is, too!

  11. We've had two of those lovely boxes in our shop & I didn't buy them...wish I had ! I did get a lovely glass vase the other day so yesterday just HAD to fill it with flowers from the market !
    Thanks for asking about my little speech. I tried to get out of doing it on the day ! I spoke very fast but my friends said it was great - afterwards I kicked myself for forgetting stuff & being so stupidly nervous !
