There's Treasure To Be Found in Charity Shops...


A Posh Russell & Bromley handbag bought in London charity shop when I was slimmer:)


Morning All:)

Some time today I'll ask Mr H. to take pics of a few handbags bought from Charity Shops.
He may be some time...Meanwhile here's one taken a few years ago. Love the bag but oh dear that skirt!

Talking of Time...
For dinner today a slow roasted bacon joint with parsnips, carrots and tattiebogels, as it'll take a good while to cook I'll probably put a rice pudding underneath.
Also being knocked about...Bread. The last one I made didn't rise as high as I wanted or expected. I remember I was multi-tasking at the time, a skill I have but don't like, at any rate the bread showed its displeasure:(
Sop today's loaf will have all my attention. As should all food.
Someone said the most important thing about food is that there should be some. True. But whether it's bought or grown, lavish or frugal whatever goes on your plate should be shown respect.
I hate sloppy loveless plates.

Have a couple of things I'd like to watch on the telly but time isn't always on my side or even my own so I'll do what I can and hopefully grab a documentary or horror film:)

It's raining as I type.
Dressing gown still on.
Stillness and calm before I go into the front room to see Mum.
A cup of tea first and feed the birdies.
Seals the deal for me:)

I've just discovered a wonderful vintage shop in Guernsey called Amelia's Wardrobe - it's a long way to go for a weekend but now, I hear, they're selling things online. My house will soon be full of even more vintage handbags but I'll have to keep off the lemon cake if I want to slip into forties attire..

Vintage. Oh yes please. I bought a proper vintage handbag from a local charity shop for £8. It's a snap shut type of bag, ones which used to be so in vogue during the 30's 40's and 50's. Brown patent leather with suede interior, perfectly clean and without blemish. Two handles and interior zipped pocket...I'm drooling at the thought of it so will soon change bags!
I'll post a pic of a few of my handbags so, if you can, pop in again soon...
I'd like it if you would tell me about some of YOUR vintage lovelies:)And if I were you I'd go to Amelia's Wardrobe...imagine the excitement of pushing the door open.
