The thrift fairy


Wow, doesn't time fly? My last entry was at the beginning of the month and now it is almost Christmas. Shopping centres are full of busy people on the hunt for presents. To be honest, I would prefer to buy presents during the sales if I could. Makes more sense money-wise, right?

The thrift fairy has been good to me recently and yesterday I bought this Canon lens for £3.00. Who can turn down such a great offer? I spent a lot of yesterday taking snaps of my beautiful new dress which I bought a few weeks ago from another charity shop for £4.00. It was actually from the kids section and is aged 9-10, but because of the babydoll shape it fits bigger sizes. It's a wonderful corduroy material and reminds me of Christmas lol. The lace collar is actually detachable and was given to me by my wonderful friend Julia. It's the perfect match, don't you think?

    The Thrift Fairy, made me laugh, but it is in my vocabulary from now on.
    With all the luck that I have had thrifting, I will be doing devotionals to my best new friend. The Thrift Fairy. :)

  9. I love the rich red color! At first I thought it was velvet, but corduroy will be just as cozy during wintertime. xx
