I haven't done a shopping post in a while so here is a result of today's little expedition. It wasn't as fruitful as my previous haul (lol), but that is the nature of charity shop shopping, you can't always guarantee you'll get what you want.
I got a strange mix of things today:
First of all, I got this rather nice Treat tin (Front & back views). Its a Nigella Lawson one apparently, for a pound.
Then I got these dressmaking kits for 25p each. I'm not actually going to make them, I'm just going to use the dressmaker's paper as a background on a candlewax canvas picture (a tip from Claudine Hellmuth book, bought previously)
I also got these tattered old bricks for £1.25. Thinking I might alter and put pictures on the blocks. Some of them have got some writing on them already so I don't feel too guilty...
This was the book of the 'best of her magazines.' I don't get her magazine (its about £4 I think) but this thick book was only £1.50 so I thought I'd give it a look.
These were bought on a whim, for the kids - they are hand puppets with BIG mouths! £2
...and these were some lovely photo corners and holographic stickers from Paperchase. The stickers were great at only £1 each....
and finally, something I didn't buy:
This was an enormous horses head and mirrored body sculpture spotted in Lee Longlands window, costing hundreds/thousands!
I have done a craft today but its 'not ready for my audience yet' (ark at me!), I'll show it tomorrow - if it works!....
