Vintage Bargains...

Sorry for the lack of posts. It's been a bit crazy since Thursday.

On Saturday, I went to a table top sale at my church. I went round mainly for a bit of a mooch and obviously to support the church. I got some bargains though. I brought some books for like 30p which is ace. They were classic books too which I like to read. I also got a lovely little daisy broach for the new bag which I have just finished sewing (I will share a photo shortly). The best bargain I got was a gorgeous new coat. Its a vintage style navy blue short coat with lovely silver buttons. It needs dry cleaning but other than that its lurrrrrrrrrrrrrvly. And it was a total bargain at £3 (and my nanna was lovely enough to buy it for me too :P). I will share a photo when it has been dry cleaned.

On Sunday, Me and Mummy went for a walk to a hotel down the road where they have a Vintage Fair once a month. I love going and they have some lovely things there. I love to look at the clothes and they had some gorgeous things there, if I had the money I would have spent a fortune. I did however spend just £5. I brought a lovely necklace which is like a clockface and is really unusual. I also brought some pin badges for my bag which are really cute :)

Not really got a lot planned this week. Was not very well yesterday so I feel like I have lost a day of my week because all I did was sleep. I hate being sick too (not that I am sure anyone likes it).

At the weekend me and my friend me and my friend Matt have booked to go away for the weekend. We are going down to Windsor from Friday - Sunday. We have got Merlin passes which we brought in February and living just 16 miles from Alton Towers we have been about 8 times this year. So we decided to go down for a few days and do Thorpe Park and Chessington over the weekend (and pop into Legoland on Friday afternoon when we get there). I am really looking forward to it. With doing my PGCE which finished in July and having a serious lack of funds I havent been on holiday this year so this will be like my holiday :) And bonus is they have given out lovely weather for the weekend :D

So thats my week in a nut shell. I shall share some photos and tell you about my weekend away, just keep your fingers crossed the weather is as nice as they have said it will be.
