Today the sun is shining, all is right with the world, it hardly feels like the autumn pictured in my last post. Amazing how a few rays give me so much energy - almost worth all those fine lines it also gives me.
As the sun is finally shining today I walked down the hill to suck it up and get some bits for dinner. Walking past a charity shop I saw this large shopper in the window and as I still haven't got my shopping bags made : ( I had to have this one. It's much larger than it might appear, I fit two carrier bags worth of shopping into it! Much nicer than the old green rucksack I'd brought to stuff purchases in.
I filled it up at the green grocers, grabbed a few things for Thursdays art class and walked back up the hill with a little more spring in my step.
Thank you to the little old lady who discarded it only so that I could come upon it and give it a second life - I will love it : )
I have loads of favourite finds, might be time to do my own discarding or a swap. Never swapped before, would be fun to try one - anyone know of a vintage finds swap?
why not start your own swap?
That bag is a great find. I think I need to move, we never have much good in my local charity shops (I think the staff rifle through the bags first and get the best pickings!!!)

Love the bag and love charity shopping - have an amazing indian charity shop near me which is mostly just a big warehouse full of junk - its so much fun and proper rummage style - none of this over priced, colour cordinated rubbish. Find it frustrating that alot of charity shops are jumping on the vintage band wagon and its harder to find bargins. Anyway think a swap is a great idea! If you wondered - you commented on my scary giraffes on craftster so been following your blog since then.
