It's Monday...

 
Do you have a favourite place to hunt for bargains??
Mine is a charity shop in town: EXTRAcare Charitable Trust
Gold Street, Kettering
This week I went in and this display immediately caught my eye:



I love old books, even better old childrens books complete with handwritten sentiment in the front, some even have the name written by the child in that cute not quite got it right style.
The display was minus these 2 before I left the shop:


Why is this a sneak peek??
Because I don't think they will be there for long!

Thanks for joining in with Meet Me on Monday again. Sound like you have a lot of projects on the go. Think your cardi/dress/tights combo sounds funky. And am loving the vintage children's books.

Have a great day. xx

Charity shops are wonderful places to find treasures. Though my idea of lovlies is old books, fabrics, buttons and china. Some say its tat, but to me its treasure.
I do love an untidy type of charity shop, these have the best treasures!
