Oh my goodness, we hit the charity shop jackpot today, both on the wonderous present front and for ourselves! What can I say, other than Darrell and I came home with our tails wagging between our legs and the biggest smiles on our faces!
First of all, the present, I mean who wouldn't want a crocheted Freddie Mercury, complete with mic stand, toilet roll holder gracing their bathroom? An exquisite, handmade work of art for just £2.50 including the loo roll? I ask you? It's very tempting, to be honest, to just keep it for ourselves, but that, would be too easy. The hard task is going to be choosing who is going to be its lucky recipient, as, if most of our family or friends found out what we'd actually got, there could easily be an unseemly kerfuffle of those yelling "choose me, me, me"!
As for the biggest candle we've ever seen for just £3.50 and the stand £1? Well, as we spend most of the now very dark evenings romantically ensconced in the glorious glow of candlelight, this will probably last us until Christmas, if not beyond. It's flipping mahoooooooooosive. What a blooming bargain!
We are so well chuffed, it's going to be quite a while before we can top this haul, but that's the beauty of charity shop shopping .......
......... you just never know what you'll stumble upon next .........

Three wonderful finds!
When I was a kid, my gran and grandad had a pink toilet roll cover, with a (pink) doll on top.
