I Heart Thrifting

I do love thrifting, and I could easily while away a few hours a week, going to local charity shops. Here are a few things I found whilst second hand shopping recently.
I found a great Blog today, which links in your charity finds and so I am joining in here at the 'Flea Market finds',and here at Me and my shadow with Magpie Monday take a look!
We have a house clearance shop in our local town filled with gems and hidden treasures. I found these gorgeous sewing and embroidery threads whilst in the shop tucked away in a little cardboard box filled with buttons and hand sewing sundry.


I found this lovely pink Bias binding still in it's original packaging. I have recently been looking at making my own bias binding for sewing projects, but this was too irresistible to leave in the shop.


I am going through a bit of a knitting pattern buying phase at the moment, and found these great 1960's patterns.
 I have plans to knit all of these patterns, they are so cute. But I just need to find about 60 hours to complete them (should be completed in about 2 years time!)


This Lavenda knitting pattern stood out immediately, due to the funky photo of this sweet couple!

But this was my favourite, this beautiful Japanese/Chinese bowl was a bargain at £2 pounds and I just love it! It now lives on our coffee table in the living room. Love it!
This pretty little rectangular flower bowl was a bargain as well, only £1 pound. I put my favourite sewing thread on it and display with my sewing/craft items.


My thrifty finds, my bargains galore, my treasures, I love them all.
As they say 'One persons rubbish, is another person treasure'
Happy Thrifting!
