And we will expect photos of course.

You have to be into crimpline and floral with the charity shops around here.

Good luck Susianna

My OH thinks it's great. I tell him how much the things would have cost in the original shops. Sometimes they are brand new and still have the lables on. I can't believe the things some people give away (thank goodness).
Hospice shops are often good hunting grounds because people really relate to the cause and the stuff is usually sold in the shops it's brought in to.
The larger charities run it like a big business and distribute stuff all over the place and sort it first and charge "vintage" prices for some things now. You have to choose carefully, but there are masses of bargains to be had.
Happy hunting.
