Holiday Thrifting in Hampshire

Last week we went to Hampshire for a few days break, and whilst shopping in the local town, I spied not one but four charity shops! This to a thrifter is like bees to a honey pot and I was jumping for joy. It was lovely to go to different charity shops for a change and see what thrifty gems on show down in the South Coast.

One shop was so big it had three different sections for furniture, clothes and any other items (crockery,toys,CDs,books) I only had a limited time in the shops as I was conscious of having my OH and two children with me, and I didn't want to bore them!

I found this pretty little Japanese dish, it has a flower garden scene with blues and reds running through it, it was only 75p and I am using it as a soap dish in the bathroom.

I have admired tureens from afar and have always fancied one to display roasted potatoes, or vegetables in and present it on the dining room table. So when I saw this beauty for £4.50, I couldn't resist it.

The gilding around the edge it gold and blue and the pretty handles are very regal!

And finally this cute gold rimmed rose bowl stood out, I love the pink colours and brought it for £2.00

I have it on my dressing table, with my day to day jewelery inside it.

Bonus as well as it was made locally from a Devon company called Braunton Studio Ceramics

I adore thrifting and cannot wait for the car boot sales to start soon in my area, more thrifty gems,bargains galore, treasures delight to be found!  I am linking in here at Liz's Magpie Monday and here at Sophie's Flea market finds for this weeks thrifty finds.
