From the S V de P shop in Charleville

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.

Batwing jumper, €1!

This lovely number is handmade and was on the €1 rail as well

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:-
