A bargain or two?
This morning the three of us went to a Macmillan coffee morning. I did make a fruit cake last night which was well received as it was different to the other cakes on offer. After that Tina dropped me off in town as I wanted to get some batteries for things I am hoping to sell at the boot sale. I also got some more ingredients because I am making another cake for a coffee morning next week.
I got some trousers a while ago at New Look, in a sale that had embroidery on the side and gathered bottoms. Managed to get another pair today and they are long enough, as the others were, for me to make into trousers without the gathered bottom. Even better, the sale rack was buy one, get one free so I got two pairs for £10, the original price for the two was just under £50!
Also,in the shop where Tina bought Shashi for me I got a great wine holder as a gift. and that was half price.
It didn't actually come with a box but the lovely people in the shop found one that was a perfect fit.
This afternoon I gathered stuff together ready for the boot sale tomorrow. Tina and I had left some bids at the auction and when she got in she checked and we had both won one. Tina got a pair of rose brass candlesticks, will perhaps take a photo tomorrow but they came with this rather strange copper candle holder which at the moment has become mine!
I got a lovely early 20th century wind up clock, it is ticking away, very loudly!
Finishing now as Strictly is about to start!!
I’m not surprised the cake went down well, you do make good cakes, either fruit or sponge. I have to say my preference is fruit, but I think you know that. Could just eat a bit now!
ReplyDeleteSome good shopping today. The trousers are very floral, definitely you, and even better a bargain. The wine holder is very unusual. You’ll have to supply a bottle to go with it though. Love the clock. It does sound good having a nice strong tick in the background. I’ve not got a big clock in my lounge at the minute. Think I have a mechanism in the loft that I could add into a case. Maybe another day.
Got Strictly on now. It very good.
Christmas will soon be here and you will have a large fruit cake!
ReplyDeleteNice to get some bargains, both pairs of trousers need shortening so will try to get around to that before too long.
The clock is keeping good time.
