How Much?!

Ohhhh did we get a little bargain or what?!

Mum found a lovely hand stitched patchwork quilt, which is very shabby chic (our favourite at the moment) and very popular again.

As soon as Mum found it, we knew we was on to something very special indeed. So much work and love has gone into the quilt, it is simply lovely and we are very lucky to find it.

Not only was it a fabulous find by Mum and exactly what we wanted, we also got a complete bargain of the century!

First of all take a look...






The last photo is of Mum's bed, it is an odd thing to be jealous over, but I am jealous of her bed! Everything on it has been found, a mixture of Cath Kidston, vintage or second hand to complete the shabby chic look for less!

So back to the quilt and how much it was. Well, it was priced up as £5.00, which we were over the moon about, but the lady (in a charity shop) only charged us...

A POUND!

Yes a pound!! Can you imagine the smiles on our faces when we left that day. If we were to sell it then we could easily start it at £40 - £50 and up!

This has got the bargain of the year award written all over it!

Look what I found!

I am a bit, ok very, pleased about my little find today!

I am not sure if it is the geek in me or because the fact I have always wanted to be a writer and I love everything and anything linked to writing, ether way I LOVE this!

I found a vintage 1960's Lilliput Typewriter in the case, with original instructions and spare ribbon in the cutest of tins for just £5.00!

If you are an expert in anything typewriter related and I got ripped off, please don't tell me (well do) but I really think I didn't and found a gem.

Take a look!





I think I want to collect more...yes I do...no idea where I would put them all and I would not use them all but I don't care...I want them.

I am off to tap some keys!!
