Charity shop haul

Please excuse the bad lighting in the following pictures, they were taken in the evening and my living room lighting is awful!

Hi peeps. As it was a Saturday I decided to pop into town after work and have a look around the charity shops, I have to say I was a little disappointed. I found no books for the kids, nor clothes or toys (they were either not in their size, far too damaged or something they wouldn't like) however I did manage to set myself a few little things.

1. A weekly planner. As a working mummy (or just a mum in general) this is a must for me. Normally I have a family planner calender but I didn't buy one this year. This fits perfectly on my desk and I love the vintage tea set design - well tea is my thing. You can buy these here I got this one for £2.99.

2. A pair of touch screen gloves. I don't actually have a touch screen phone, but that isn't why I brought them. My hands were freezing and I'd left my gloves at home. This red pair cost me £1.99.

 3. Books. The Stranger by Camilla Lackberg and The real thing by Catherine Alliot. I am a sucker for the book section in any charity shop, but I have also found I am a "judge by the cover" kind of a person, which I didn't think I was (only when it comes to books) If I see a nice cover then I pick it up and read the blurb before getting it. The stranger was £1.99 and the real thing I got for 99p.

4. Wild rose soap and lotion set. Bath items don't need explaining, I love them. This little set cost me £2.49, which is actually quite expensive for a charity shop I think.

Charity shop haul.

It's been a while since I did a chrity shop haul, June I believe, which is mad as I love my charity shops. Anyway, yesterday (saturday) I went shopping in my local town, People around here moan for having more charity shops then people but I am one who loves this!

My haul.

New Look, Pink / Purple flower print top - £3.
 Top Shop, Dark purple tank top (bad lighting makes it look black) - £2.
New Look, long pink top / dress - £2.
The white strappy top isn't from a charity shop but it was on sale (70% off) so I included it. - £1.99
And a book (not pictured) The boy in the stripped PJ's - £1.49

Eva's Haul.

I was quite disappointed by the lack of clothing for Eva, there was a few things in each store but nothing she would wear - Yes at 5 years old she already has her own style!
Where's Wally books - 70p each
Sam Plants a sun flower - 99p
The snail and the Whale - 99p
Kittens - 70p

 I also found these John Lewis pumps in her size for £1.99. I don't normally buy her shoes with heels but these are "play" shoes and to be worn every day. Although she loves having shoes "like mummy".

After our charity shop haul we headed to Next and I ended up buying a few super cute things for Archie (Ooops) In my defence though, he's now out grown all his 6-9 months bottoms so he did need more. (I've put up the links incase you want to buy any of them)

2. Plum Braces Trousers - £13
(buy here)

Charity shop Haul.

I do love a charity shop! My town has loads of them, which is lucky really. Going shopping I'm always suprised by what people "throw out", children's clothes are always my best buy. Anyway, this week I headed into town to do a little Charity shop haul, I ended up spending just over £18 on items that would cost (brand new) almost £60! I am very impressed with myself.

Something for me.

 A box of six of these gorgeous bath petals cost me 99p. They have the most beautiful lavender scent. Link here if you want to buy your own. I cannot wait to try these out in a nice bubble bath, they look so pretty!

Something for Eva.

 Pink top cost me £1.75 is from Next, it has some lovely little details like glitter on the girls dress and a bow on the rabbit. Eva loved it as it's pink. The yellow time which just screams summer to me is from George at Adsa and cost me £1.95. 

Something for Archie.

 Blue monkey top cost me £2.25 which is quite expensive for a charity shop, however it's in such a lovely top plus it's next that I think it's still a good bargin. The grey Jogger's are from George at asda and cost me £1. I am a big fan of the George range, your notice Archie own's alot of their Joggers, these are the disney one's which he doesn't have. They are such good quality, wash really well and are hard wearing, perfect for Archie who spends most his days crawling around. 

Books!

Hungry Hen - 50p.

Tell the time with Croc and Bet - £1.99

Aldo - 99p

Animals of Farthing Wood - 25p

Dr.Seuss "One fish, two fish, red fish, blue fish" - 99p

Photoshop Elements 8 - £2.50 (This is my biggest bargin of the day, new this book costs £22.99)

The magical Mermaids Jigsaw story book - £1.99

 

Charity shop haul

 Shopping trip, Saturday 26th April

 Tesco 'I love pugs' T-shirt - £1.99

This is actually in a 6-7 years but it was just too cute to not buy, plus it will last that little bit longer. Eva isn't actually a fan of Pugs, she likes them yes but that's as far as it goes.

 George at Asda 'Robot dancing' outfit - £1

Tiny Ted ip front hoodie - £1.25

Both of these are in 9-12 months, but at 7 months Archie is already fitting into some 9 month clothing. I haven't got him any jackets that fit him yet so I had to buy this.

 Books all 99p each.

Duck soaps - £1.59

Mini bath bombs - 99p

I am re doing my house at the moment and the bathroom is a kind of vintage / retro feel. These super cute duck soaps aren't to use but instead shall be displayed in the bathroom. The bath bombs however, will be.

Shopping haul.
