Yesterday bought some good finds in charity (thrift) shops and another (slightly shamefaced) addition or two (or three) to my ridiculously large fabric stash. My best buy was this 22 piece coffee set. The sugar bowl has a slight chip as does one of the cups, but apart from that it's in very good condition. 
I obviously don't need a 22 piece coffe set, but I loved the colours and funky pattern. Anyway, at £7.50 it was an absolute bargain so I snapped it up. Over at the fabric store I found two small floral prints which are dead ringers for Libery prints. Really pretty and ideal for patchwork. Plus an over the top, rather goofy colourful cotton which just looked so zingy I had to have a metre. Two more mini splurges followed as I bought a £1.50 china beaker with a Silver Jubilee design. The Silver Jubilee being that of Queen Mary and King George. It doesn't look valuable, but it's a nice little thing. 
I tried photographing it, but my camera's not good enough to take a decent non-blurry picture in close up.
Finally, my purse nearly empty, I spent 99p on 16 fake chickens .... no, I don't know why either but I saw these Easter chicks and thought 'There must be a use for those!' They look so silly I had to have 'em ...
