LATEST FINDS

Went to Bucks the other day to look at a possible important
purchase for the future but it turned out to be all wrong so no
go this time.
We decided to make a day of it since we were out & about
already so we scouted the charity shops in areas we passed
on out way home.
Didn't find much but I'm thrilled about my Hanukkah gift that
I got from my man... Scroll down...

Lot of vintage kitsch, £1.80. (approx $2.90)
I was over the moon to find a whole lot of these red flocked deers
for such a tiny sum! Two like these went for quite a lot on ebay UK
the other day!

1950's boat lamp, 50 pence. (approx $0.80)
Clearly a restoration project but still cool!

Stunning 1950's/1960's dress, £18. (approx $30)
Found this in a shop called Kitsch Me Quick and I fell in love with it 
on the spot! My man insisted on getting it for me as a Hanukkah gift!

45" rack & table wastebasket/flower pot, £1 each
(approx $1.60 each)
As many 45's as we got these racks are essential! 
The wastebasket will be prefect on my hobby desk.

Old bamboo bottle opener & compact mirror with light.
Free!
Because the shop manager loved my hair (faux bangs) and thought I 
was a sweetheart.

BAKELITE CUFFLINKS

Hi! I just wanted to let you all know that my Etsy shop
is open for 6 more days and I offer 10% off everything,
just use the code EVERYPENNYSAVED at checkout.

These genuine Bakelite cufflinks are newly listed.
I got more Bakelite for sale, just check this section.

WELCOME TO MY HOBBY ROOM!

At last!
I finally sorted my hobby room out!
Last time I took pictures (2009) there weren't that much
stuff in there, as you can see here.
It looked like a dump site not so long ago and it took me
an entire day to sort, tidy and clean the place.
I also changed the curtains the other day before our Dutch
friends arrived.
(I got vintage plastic tulips everywhere and tulip barkcloth curtains.)
Now it's a delight to be in there.

FINDS OF THE DAY

Went into town to get some toiletries and to scout the charity shops.
Lately I’ve found nothing and there wasn’t much to speak about today.
I got myself a pair of fruity earrings and a broken Bakelite brooch for
the total of £1.75. (approx $2.80)
I’m going to remove the bits that’s left of the pin and glue a bail on the
back and use it as a pendant.

My favorite bargain of the day is this cute lunchbox that I snagged in
one of this towns many bargain shops for £1.99! (approx $3.20)
Perfect for small outings and road trips. :)
