I have been at it once again, buying bits and pieces from my local charity shops. Me and my friend Vanesa have decided to make it a regular thing to go every Saturday morning, it's for a good cause so why not!
This week I didn't pick up any bargainous beauty products like last time (you can read about that here) but I got some very cute bits and pieces.....
First things that caught my eye were these gorgeous scarfs. In my local British Heart Foundation they had a full rail of beautiful scarfs, eventually I narrowed the whole rail down to these two.....
I adore the pattern of the orange scarf it's so pretty! These were £1.50 each!
We then headed to Oxfam where I picked up 2 little items, bot of these items I had picked up the previous time I was in there and put them back down for some reason, but when I saw them still there I just had to take them, they must of been getting lonely in that shop and nobody wanted them so I felt obliged! This pretty little bracelet cost 49p, 49p!!!!
And this very cute photograph holder cost a tiny 99p.....
Then we headed to Cancer Research UK and I snapped up these gorgeous cake tins, these were reduced from £10.99 to £2.99!!!! I'm not sure whether they will be used for cakes or my makeup!
And last but not least while we were browsing Barnardos I found this lovely purple spotted Totes umbrella, brand new for £1.99, I needed an umbrella and was going to nip to Primark so this saved me a few pounds and these usually retail for £10-£12!
So that's a total spend of £9.46!! I love having a rumage through the charity shops and we have so much fun (Vanesa took the picture below of me with 'a mini shot glass' as I called it) and it's all for a good cause!
Have you been charity shop shopping lately?

I love charity shopping, it's the best. I have regular hauls! You can see my latest haul here - http://totallyvtg.blogspot.co.uk/2013/03/charity-shop-haul-plus-one-normal-shop.html. I end up selling a lot of stuff on ebay though as I simply haven't got room for everything I buy! The cake tins are adorable. You could change their use when you get fed up of seeing them in your bedroom/kitchen!
