Why charity shops rock harder than the rock

Reasons why charity shops are the bestest 

1:

Look at this outfit! And these jewellery pieces !

 2: this dress! It's an original Lindy bop I got it for £7 instead of £35...Winning!

3: you recycle and help the environment !

Give stuff on, buy stuff back at a fraction of the cost.

4: your wardrobe can look like this for cheaps!

5: they sell old stuff! You can use vintage shops (I do all the time) but sometimes if you're dedicated and diligent you can find shiz like this! Just look at him😍

He was £3 for god sakes!

6: They make your kids happy!

7: I just like them! I like that occasionally I'll fine a cape or a 1950s spoon that I have to have. Or books. They're full of stuff that has lived in someone else's life, they've been touched and worn and loved. And now I can love them! 

If you think you're too good to charity shop you're missing out! And being a donkey... Are you a donkey? Or are you a fricken bargain hunting, new wardrobe having beast!

You decide 😆

Christmassy Christmas

Allow me to share my amazing Christmas through the medium of photos! 

Introducing Bellamars pendants

So being on matt leave is great fun, I've done mum and baby groups. And I've never drank so much coffee, I'm helping to keep Jittermugs in tea. And spending time as a stay at home mummy is lovely.

However I've been itching to do a bit Of crafting, I love making things especially pretty jewellery shape things! So I sat down, had a play and, Bellamars the pendant co was born (cool name ay;) )

Here's some of what I make...

 

I'm really excited to be able to offer these (the deer one is mine thought! Me hahahah)

I've only been open 3 weeks so imagine my surprise when I was contacted by the coordinators of a well know vintage fayre . They wondered if I'd do a table at the Christmas shebang... I'm YEAH I WILL!

Here's the proof

Christmas light turn on in faversham

Every year we wrap up and head down to town to watch the lights. Every year they don't turn on properly, a bulbs gone. The kids whinge, it's packed. But I do love it, there's a lovely sence of community. Spiced cider is everywhere, and hot dogs and people wearing baby's.

I'm not religious at all so for me Xmas is about the coming of winter, the eating of food and the giving of presents! It's also a time to reflect on how bloody lucky I am.
