Should've kept the trunk...

OK, I really should listen to you guys... and kept my lovely trunk!! I ended up with a set of 6 wine glasses... which considering I am in a 'dry' country where alcohol is banned and add the fact that neither Chris or I drink... was not such a good deal! :( Never mind... the shop did have another one so maybe I will pop into town this week and pick it up for me)! LOL


But on the bright side... if I go back to the tat shop I can fill my basket with more of these goodies!! You see the gem bling thingies? They are earrings, 6 pairs on each card and the cost? 30 pence for the 6 pairs!! Yahoooooo... they look absolutely fab at the centre of a flower and cost silly money... the ribbons? 15p a strip and they are stunning! The beaded edging stuff? The man sold me that entire bundle for £1.50....



I used one of the earrings on this... just a sneak peek!!

    Oh yes, should have mentioned that Lorianne, my neighbour and hairdresser, she got the trunk! She made off like a bandit helped by the fact that she gave me the paper to wrap it in so recognised it immediately!! ;) At least I know it went to a good home....

    Oh how I laughed...at least Lorraine 'made off like a bandit' knows a good thing when she gets it. Bet you get asked to loads more parties like that now! really revelling in your shopping success - but don't be excited whenyou're actually in the shop - he'll guess and put the prices up! Can almost see you doing the happy dance!
