It can be overwhelming and you can lose a whole day in just one building but it helps if you know where to look for what you're after.
I was looking for a small shelving rack for *J's* cricket trophies and anything cheap and cheerful. *E* likes to look at the costume jewellery.
We came home with the perfect trophy shelving for £8 (pictures to follow when Mr H has fixed it to the wall), a 3m length of natural crochet trim (£1), a vintage wooden ruler (20p) and this fabulous vintage suitcase in bright red for £1.
*E* already has this suitcase in blue but slightly bigger and not so bashed up. She uses it regularly for weekends away.
Mr H doesn't quite get the vintage thing and asked why we were bringing home more junk after spending a week chucking out junk! Killjoy! When I explained the potential for beautifying this little find with decoupage paper and using it as storage he kinda came round to my way of thinking.
A small stack of these little cases with various decoupaged lids in the corner of *E's* room would look cool methinks.
