Very rich pickings on our bargain hunting mission today. My sister joined us for lunch, and then we hit all three of the charity shops in Tiptree. Here's just a small sample of our total haul. The bag is real leather, beautifully made and in pristine condition. The belt is Italian patent leather, the scarf is unused and still had the original price tag on it and the brooch - though not real silver - is in good condition with no stones missing. I bought the lot for £10.

Mum and I are currently in a turquoise fashion phase. More on that in the next couple of posts...
