Magpie Monday - Fun in the sun

Howdy Magpies!

I'm just back from what was possibly the NICEST weekend ever, and I'm sure you'll totally get this.

I scooted down to Hastings with one of my loveliest girl friends for a weekend on full on thrifting fun.  We stayed in a lovely B&B which served the most delicious breakfasts and crammed in almost every charity shop in the vicinity; a host of junk shops; a street market; house clearance stores and two car boots sales. We only stopped for sustenance of prosecco; chocolate lime salted brownies; ice cream and wild garlic and chilli crab claws; more prosecco and some rosé.

It was just glorious.  Apart from a very brief rain shower and a rather unpleasant shower from a low flying seagull (yeah, that was rank), the sun shone down.

We met some amazing characters, really great people who tipped us the wink about secret places to go and the best boot sales.

Seriously, we came home with so much booty I hardly know where to start.  Most of it is going through the wash, so for now I'll just share this little ray of sunshine.

A bright, bold graphic print orange juice glass- so I can both practice my French vocab and detox my rather groaning body (50p for the Cat's Protection League shop) sitting atop this beautiful citrus coloured handmade crochet picnic blanket (£2 from the same shop).

Expect lots more posts about my finds, and also one on what I've now declared the best restaurant in the world!  Hope you've had a great weekend.  Share your thrifted treasure here.
