Charity shop finds #1

I'm an avid fan of charity shops. Me and my boyfriend can charity shop for hours and I'll often pop into all the charity shops in town, just for a browse. I love how you never know what you're going to find. You can't go online and browse what you're going to try on like in Topshop, it's going to be a surprise, and a 1/4 of the price too. The worst thing though, is that if you're undecided about an item, you know that it more than likely won't be there when you go back, so I always tend to buy things even if I'm not 100% sure on them! But they can always go on eBay at a later date if I decided I didn't actually need that 40th granny shirt! Anyways here are some of my latest finds:

Blue wire heart wall hanging (I might spray it white) - £1.50

Pink vintage blouse - £2.00

White cut-out blouse - £1.50

Primark collared dress - £2.00

Mickey mouse t-shirt (I'm going to cut it into a crop top) - £1.00

Floral photo frame - £1.00

Floral dish (I'm going to use it as a ring holder) - £1.50

Pink vase (currently my copper holder) - £1.00

White embroidered blouse - £1.50

Navy embroidered blouse - £1.50

Mint green embroidered blouse - £2.00

Floral tin - 30p

Carboot haul #3

So I went to the carboot sale with my friend Georgia this morning. After getting about 4 hours sleep last night I didn't feel too good this morning, but I'm so glad I got off my butt and went because I got some lovely things!

Vintage tapestry handbag - £1

I love this so much! I bought one before but the zip broke and it generally got worn and torn, but I love the pattern on this, and it looks like it will go with most of my outfit colours - black, gold, burgundy etc.

Camera bag - 25p

I couldn't believe how cheap this was! I swear my one when I bought my SLR camera was atleast £20! I bought this as a little present for my boyfriend, as he does photography as a job. I'm sure he's got loads already but this was a cute size and a cheap price!

Vintage tapestry weekend bag - £2

I am so so so in love with this bag! It's big enough to take for a few nights away, or if I need to take alot of things into uni one day, and the pattern is gorgeous!

Vintage rose jumper - £1

I was so happy to find this too! I've gone a bit off vintage jumpers recently, as I went through a stage of buying millions a few years ago, but I stumbled across this one and I thought it was so cute! The colours, fit and texture are all perfect :)

Topshop daisy peter pan collar dress - £2.50

The price is a little bit more than I usually pay for clothes at carboot sales, but I have wanted this dress for ages, and it goes on eBay for like £10 so this was a right bargain really!

 

 

Primark v-neck playsuit - £1

I had been looking at this playsuit on eBay for a while too, so to get this for £1 is a right bargain!

Two massive curtains - £2

I bought these because I loved the paisley pattern, and there was just so much material. I am planning to make a cute little paisley dress out of this, or maybe even a few!

Vintage crochet collar shirt - £1

This is so cute, and I think that now I've got reddish hair it'll bring out the red in the shirt. I've always been obsessed with crochet collars, so ones for £1 are a bonus!

Tapestry glasses case - 20p

This was probably my bargain of the day! I bought it off the most cutest old man too! I've had my iPhone just over a week now, but I ordered a phone case from Hong Kong which can take about 3 weeks to arrive and I'm getting so paranoid that I'm going to drop it! But I found this gorgeous tapestry glasses case which it fits into perfectly, and it's so padded too!

And lastly, here's my new red hair :)

You can't see it that well, but to me it looks so different! I'm most happy that my hair's all one colour again as for a while it was almost dip dyed naturally, but not in a nice way!

Thanks for reading :)
