I was fairly well behaved on our regular Wednesday Op Shop travels, but did buy a couple of things, but I am still well under the 'But, Budget' I gave myself for the month.
What's a 'But, Budget' I hear you ask...Well let tell you..because I just made it up. I made it up in order to not go insane, as in general I am avoiding 90% of shopping, 10% still manages to provide me incredible finds. It's not an actual number, but it provides me with som level of liberty, with a big dose of self control!
Example: I went to one shop (instead of ten) and purchased one pair (instead of ten) of brand spanking new Diana Ferrari canvas boat shoes, tag reads $99.99, for sale for $2.99, size 10, only one pair! As if I'm going to let that pass! I'm challenging myself, not torturing myself!
As for the other things, they were ALL free! It amazing what people throw out! Too much to list!
Pictured: $2.99 shoes, (found) bone china teacups, (found) punch bowl with matching punch cups, (found) lace table cloth.
As I'm decluttering, this exercise of finding amazing things was bitter sweet. But to make up for everything that came in, I filled a bag of clothes that I probably will never wear again...(well once they are gone I definitely won't...)
Unfortunately for me I don't keep teacups and punch-bowls in my wardrobe!
So now that I've put it out there, what's the strangest thing you have in your wardrobe?
A box of odd socks. Where do the other ones go?
ReplyDeleteHaha, I know! Isn't silly? I've found a solution though, sock pegs! They go onto the sock once you take them off, then the socks go from washing basket, to machine to line to drawer with the peg still on. Fantastic solution and they cost about $4 for 12 pegs (Woolworths). That, or wear odd socks or like Mr Skinny, have only one style, so that any two ake a pair!
