I also got a lovely Fairisle style tank top which is currently hanging on the line after a 'quick and cool' in the washing machine. I have discovered that this setting is great for washing woollens without felting them.

This is why
Great post here from Deirdre O'Shaughnessy about the 'humble charity shop' Or not so humble. This is a lady that knows!

Unavailable in Brown Thomas
or T K Maxx or anywhere except the Limerick Animal Welfare charity shop on Parnell Street is this wonderful tablecloth which is hand embroidered in a colourful, idiosyncratic stylethat must have taken ages. The only thing is it's almost too lovely to use and I make no apologies for posting all the photographs of the details of this beautiful object.
A few more things
Here are a few delights from St. Vincent de Paul in Charleville which has a €1 rail and is a fine, big shop that has a great selection of goodies. It is especially good for scarves, books and jackets and is one of my favourites.

To appease the gods ...
I have angered the gods of the charity shop.
Since Thursday I have had €6 to spend and have visited four charity shops* but found nothing. This is most unlike me. I have not become more discerning as I am naturally a discerning person but lack will-power where charity shops are concerned.
Eventually I realised that it's this blog. The gods of the charity shops have granted me all sorts of delights and I am not sharing them with anyone, not even my 3 faithful followers.
So forgive me oh gods and here are my latest jewellery finds:-
* St Vincent de Paul, Charleville
St Vincent de Paul, Mitchelstown
Sue Ryder, Mitchelstown - newly opened - VERY expensive!!!!
NCBI, Mitchelstown
