Bumper crop of pretty finds!

I have just returned from our annual Senior Managment Planning weeknd in Hythe, sorting out all the things we need to before the next school year. We stay in a 4 star hotel, the Mercure. We had Saturday afternoon free, so I did a tour of the charity shops, of which there are plenty! The best one is the Cats' Protection League; excellent variety, very competitively priced and with very friendly service.

 
I have one of these pyrex ramekins already, so nice to find two more to match it.
 
 
I can't resist any Hello Kitty bargains!
 
 
Silver pickle fork and pretty glass dish / tray. I think the glass cups will look nice with a candle inside - show you when I have made them.
 
 
Bon-bon or trinket dish, not quite decided which it will be yet.
 

 Rose pretties
 
 
Smart pinny for culinary activities. Total spend: less than £10!
 
 
Susan sneaked Poppy along! We took her for some very windswept walks along the seafront before breakfast each morning.
 
Don't forget to enter the draw for Sewing in No Time; just leave a comment on my previous post!

  6. Such lovely finds! We had a bit of a raid on an antique shop this week which we'll be posting about! I got some gorgeous bits for my birthday from charity shops too. I know some people would laugh that my Mum buys me presents from charity shops, but anyone that hasn't cottened on to how amazing they are is missing out!!
