Charity shop ‘clean up’…

The good thing about New Year is the amount of new stuff arriving in the Charity Shop’s after the Christmas ‘mayhem’ = Christmas castoffs = unwanted gifts…you know the story…In fact there was so much going on I can’t even fit it into one blog post! Part two will follow…with a report of my ‘amazing bargain’ and because there was so much I’ve just featured items that have a ‘touch of pink’ (oh..and purple too!) to go with the colouring of the 2019 balloons image, it was only one of the ways I could narrow it down…One ‘trusty’ mannequin (well actually half a mannequin…) is ‘getting ready’ for the New Year by ‘preparing for battle’ (sales anyone?) in a very ‘secret agent Charlotte Gray’ type of way wearing a military jacket and a purple beret, a nice touch.

a touch of purple with a ‘Charlotte Gray’ beret…

Party shoes for next year’s festivities? Well I found two that kinda ‘Shake Rattle and Roll…’ complete with bold patterns embellishments and pretty bows, neat for your feet! You’ll be walking high (or rather ‘higher’ if you normally wear flats..!) into…the New Year!

They’re not for ‘wallflowers’…!? Or if you are one wear one of these!

Also found a headless mannequin (again I ask…why?) wearing a Minnie Mouse sweatshirt though I didn’t look to see if Minnie’s head was on the back…! To go with that how about adding some ‘finishing touches’ with nail jewels and false eyelashes (they do say ‘Halloween’ but who says you can’t ‘wear purple’ any other time??).

You can be very ‘casual’ in this sweatshirt but don’t forget to add some finishing touches!

Though my favourite item has to be Sole Mates (love the name…) ‘Amazing automatic foot massager’ which promises to ‘purr away gently massaging the soles of your feet’ an interesting concept…which might help you with the construction of that lovely pink nightgown! I don’t think I can add or say any more as I’m rather overwhelmed and feel very exhausted and it’s only the beginning of January!

I think it will be impossible to beat this item and massage your feet whilst making a nightgown at the same time!
