Found - Bookish

It seems the only secondhand bargains that are out there right now are books. We went to a car boot sale at our local RSPCA this week. As far as I can tell it isn't a regular one, but I did really enjoy it and thought there was a lovely range of items and sellers. I also liked that we were asked for a donation rather than an actual entry fee, not that we would object to supporting poor kittens and puppies, but I just think it is more polite. You can see the three books we picked up below - again to be used as props for our wedding, they came to a total of £1.80.

To celebrate this love of books, here are a collection of bookish finds available to buy online from UK sellers. As usual click the link below to be taken through to the item. Thanks!

Found - Handmade Bags Online

I've needed a bag for a while, a small one that I can wear with my cargo trousers and trainers without looking odd. I found the one below on ebay for a couple of pounds and it'll do just the trick. Now if I wasn't on such a tight budget, I would have bags coming out of my ears, I would have between one and all, of the bags above. They are all made in the UK and you can find them online by following the links below (until they sell out of course).
