A small bit of shopping!





So you didn't think I went away for a few days and didn't venture to check out the charity shops did you!!!! I managed to sneak away on my own for an hour and can report that the shops were chock a block with nice stuff in Crieff. The top three pics, although all fab stuff I DID NOT BUY- primarily as I am trying to practice what I preach and not buy anymore of things that I already have lots of. The bottom two pics- a wee set of lovely retro patterned bowls and the flowered tea towel- yes they are now mine!!

{and yes that set of plates in the top pic was £20!!!}

  1. Well done for your finds and your restraint! I do find having a camera helps. I would have had to buy the mugs behind the bowls, especially the mushroom one. :)

  2. That pic is my wee bowls back home on my groaning kitchen shelves! I think the mushroom mug came from Nicky at Raggle Taggle Hawker on Etsy- she has some fab stuff just now! It's one of my favourite things that wee mug! You have v good taste! Jx

  5. I'm relieved to find out that those mugs are yours, I was worried that you'd taken the photo in the shop, and you'd left the mugs there! Col@Hello Olive - I've got one of those little pyrex bowls too, it's a lovely design called Carnaby, I see it on Ebay sometimes.
