BLOG 6: Charity Shopping...

If i have any days off during shopping hours... you will ALWAYS find me in charity shops that I can get to easy. There is nothing i like more than having a good rummage through other people cast offs, to find that amazing bit of treasure!!

I love looking for clothes, but also for the nick knacks. I'm moving into a new house with my partner shortly and I simply can't help looking for things to decorate it with! I get all excited about moving house and having a new project to work on (if he thinks he's got a chance to decorate it, he's crazy!)!!

So i was shopping last week and discovered this beaut of a Little clock...

I couldn't believe my luck when i set eyes on him! £2.50! SOLD!

So now he's going to take pride place in my bedroom, until found a more permanent location at my new gaff!!

Last Thursday, at the shop, we took part in one of the local Freshers fairs on the Frenchay campus. I spent quiet a few hours getting a fake wall together, wallpapering it (in true girl style with no nails glue!!!) and collecting a few bits and bobs to decorate with (generally from my bedroom) and we came up with our own cute little stand! You may even catch my new little clock making an appearance!

There was quiet a crowd there and we attracted a lot of girls to the stand.. some new of Motel and a few didn't so it felt great to spread the word about Motel to everyone. You get such a great response from some people when you tell them that they've just come to the city that contains the only full Motel shop! I really enjoyed myself and meeting all the new students..



Please let me know of any charity shop / car boot stall treasures that you come across!!!
