Last two weeks bargain shopping..

Before getting on to bargains, I'll update you on the weather here.  We woke yesterday morning to our first snow this year - just an inch, but still beautiful.  Sorry, never gave the camera a thought until now :o(  It's really not natural for me to carry a camera.  Temperatures dropped to -9 last night, but we're snug and warm at home.  I had to go out to get some bread this morning, so I walked 'the long way' round to the shops, a lovely crisp day with temperatures not rising much above -5 despite the sun.
I'm delighted to welcome another follower :o)  You have no idea how uplifting it is to think someone like to look in and read my ramblings!

I have got a few more bits 'n pieces over the last couple of weeks, and even a few (more)  Christmas decorations...

This cute embroidered red velvet pillow was only 75p (about 6" square), I'm sure I can find a place to put it!

(I keep to mainly traditional red, gold and green for Christmas decorations).

This flying snowman (75p) will find a nice place to hang from, especially as he has such a great message!

(The damask table cloth in the background I got a few weeks back, an enormous oval one from Debenhams originally cost just £3.50)

and lastly, this lovely wooden teddy tree ornament found on the same day for 35p.

Then came the other 'stuff'!

I found this Harrods teddy, complete with all tags for £1.25.  Now you know I couldn't leave him 'behind' lol!

(I can only apologise for the lay out - I always have problems trying to get two pictures side by side).

I've come to the conclusion we must have 'posh' folks here about - because since I found the Harrods Teddy I've got this Fortnum & Mason Stilton crock and lid - don't you just love the graphics?  It was just 75p, I thought it'd be ideal as a covered dripping jar.

Weeks ago I found this little milk jug for £1, but for some reason I forgot to post it.

Mieow!

Then I found another blue and white beauty....

Laura Ashley soap dish for 50p!

(I must have a 'thing' for soap dishes, I've probably got eight orr ten of them!)

Two lovely trinket boxes at £1.50 each, about 3 inches wide and one deep

I love the naivety of the little bird on the heart shaped one.

Here's a bit of bling to wear over Christmas, £3.50 for the set.

These two oriental minature dishes were 95p each.   I'll have to show you the others I have on another day.

They're only just over an inch diameter, and here's the back of them...

pictured with the camera SD card as a size guide.  I love the one with the chrysanthemums on.

Then I found this pack of golden tapers and star shaped holders, they'll look good on the table I think, especially as they were £3.

These red charges were 50p each (I found four) - just need another couple now.

In the 35p bin I found this beautiful antique plate

Lovely, lovely old pattern.

Lastly, but cetainly NOT least....

this rooster, hen and chick 9 inches high - £2.50!

Hope you 'bargain hunters' have had a good a time as I have!

My very best wishes to you all,
