Charity Shop Treasure

Have I mentioned how much I love Charity Shops - and I know I am not alone in this, but wow! I just love them.

C and I went out for a girly day last week, you know - shopping, lunch and the cinema (Aliens in the Attic - quite funny really!) and we kept popping into various charity shops (as you do!) just before we reached the cinema we went to one and found something so gorgeous and so perfect and such a bargain I could not believe it was meant for me...




I really didn't want to carry to the cinema with me (we were walking) and I decided that if it was really meant for me, it would still be there when we came back...




and do you know what...




it was...




and it was all I could do not to squeal with delight and jump up and down in the shop.

It is, a beautiful, 6 place settings - tea cups, saucers and cake plates in delicate bone china with such a pretty design and in fantastic condition.

Isn't it just lovely


swoon...


I was thinking that I would just tell you how much it was, but as this is my 300th post (how did THAT happen??!) I will do a little competiton and say that whoever guesses the closest will win a little prize (not the tea set - sorry, that's all mine!)

*Mum - you can't enter cos I told you how much it was!

I'll pick a winner and tell you the real price in a week or so...
