Charity Shop Finds II

Yesterday was time for my weekly (well, bi-weekly) trip to the local charity shops. For me, the fun is really in the stuff that I don't buy rather than what I do come away with.

Did anyone else love The Rainbow Fish as a child? How adorable are these little prints?

Yes, this is the face I make when looking through a viewfinder! Attractive, I know! Contain yourselves!

I really, really wanted this but a quick Google search revealed it's nigh on impossible to buy the film. I wasn't about to pay £10 for something inoperable so, with a very heavy heart, I put him back on the shelf. They did have a whole collection of cameras, though so maybe I'll pick one up next time.


How adorable is this little fella? Apparently his eyes lit up. I didn't want to get too close because he was just too cute and I knew I'd have to bring him home if I got too attached!

We came very, very close to buying this! However, as I'm not pregnant, it did seem a bit of an odd choice. Still pretty cool though!

Ok, so what I did end up with: A suspender skirt, a Baywatch t shirt that I saw in Primark a little while ago, an H&M cardigan, a flat cap that Rich sneaked onto the counter when I wasn't looking and a whole load of books.

Have you had any luck lately?

  4. That Baywatch top is really cool. I really want an old Kodak camera, and I'm sure I have one in my attic somewhere, but the film definitely takes up a lot of the cost of using it xoxo

  5. Is one of those books called Hampshire Murders? As a Hampshire resident who loves true crime (and non-true crime!) books, I feel like I need that in my life! x

    1. Haha yes! I was kind of hoping nobody would look closely enough to see that and think I was a total nutter!

      I'm a Hampshire resident who loves true crime too so I couldn't resist. There was also a sequel called More Hampshire Murders!
