I was lucky enough to stumble across a Charity sale in an old warehouse building today and pick up two beautiful items for just 50 pence each! I'd been hunting for a tartan scarf for over a month and I knew when I saw this place I was in with a good chance. After briefly mooching through old Xbox and PS1 games with my other half, I finally found myself in the room with all the rails. Rails crammed with old blazers, patterned dresses and 90's classics lined the walls. I followed the paper signs to the size 8 section, after slipping a Scottish Kilt over my leggings and instantly being told I looked ridiculous I gave up on clothes and dove into the accessories.
I was scavenging for a 'new' purse when I found the weighty gold compact. It was perfectly intact and just what I needed for my - actually - new velvet handbag. I smiled to my boyfriend and headed to the scarfs that had been tossed by the window. Originally, my heart had been set on a traditional red tartan, but with none in sight I tried on the royal blue checks. It went with my eyes, I just had to have it! It became my new love immediately.
Nothing quite brightens up a miserable saturday morning food shop, like a vintage bargain.
