Scented Candle & Pencil Case £3 each at M&S
My beloved Kirstie Allsopp was sadly destined for the sale, although not the whole range, only snippets. I picked up this pencil case and scented candle for a fraction of the original price.
I headed straight for Celia Birtwell’s timeless range at Boots, I picked up a treats jar, something that wasn’t featured in the catalogue, so was more than thrilled to stumble upon by chance. I also couldn’t quite resist coming home with a photo album and keyring. Jasper also got lucky, with a Celia Birtwell cat bowl.

Treat Jar £5, Photo album £4, Keyring £3 & Cat Bowl £3 at Boots
I also bought the Liberty Hello Kitty eyeshadow compact. Combining my love of Hello Kitty and Liberty together, this makes for a great collaboration.

I made a bee-line for this particular range in Wilko’s sale, unfortunately I was just too late for the bird box I had admired before Christmas, but I did pick up this little lot…

Set of 3 storage tins £1.50 at Wilko
We may already have a kitchen full of tins, but that didn’t deter me from buying these cutesy tins. I've already stashed one of them full of ribbon and fabric scraps.

Set of 2 Cake tins £3 at Wilko
The doorstop sure is a beauty; I can’t help but admire the embroidery and wish I lived in a house just like this.

Doorstop £3 at Wilko
I had no intentions of purchasing perfume, but when I spotted these Smurf perfumes selling so cheaply, how could I possibly resist! My boyfriend was slightly concerned about me smelling like Papa Smurf, but hey I don’t reckon that’s such a bad thing after all.

Liberty and Hello Kitty? Smurf perfume? There is some crazy merchandise out there! However, it's somehow right when you enthuse about it, congrats on your savvy sales shopping xx
ReplyDeleteI love your sale finds. I saw some Celia Birtwell and Hello Kitty stuff in Boots and was really tempted but my local Boots only had a few bits. I love the eyeshadow compact and treat jar!
ReplyDeleteLove the kitchen tins. I am also obsessed with collecting small tins/boxes! xx
