A journalist in The Irish Times was lamenting last week that there are no bargains to be found in charity shops anymore. That may be so in parts of Dublin, but here in the Midlands there are still outrageous bargains to be found. I present today's finds, totalling €1.50, from two separate charity shops:
Owl trivet - 50 cent
Jar - 50 cent
Hand-knitted baby cardi for my daughter's favourite bunny, Patch - 50 cent
Another monster bargain from my very favourite local charity shop. An EPNS dish from Elkington, Mason and Company for 50 cent. Dating from 1853. I had fun looking up the hallmarks on this excellent site: Silver Collection.
