Magpie Monday - Tash Treasure

Quite often on Magpie Monday other bargain hunters link up and it turns out we've bought very similar items in the same week.  I love it when that happens, it make me feel like we're kindred spirits of the charity shop world.

This week though, I'm willing to bet a fair old wedge that nobody but nobody will have picked up one of these.  And definitely not for only one of the Queen's English pounds.



Oh no my friends, it's not just any cup.

It's a moustache mug.



Hooray *throws Veet in the air ecstatically* I can now enjoy my Darjeeling without fear.

So, the next time I have a hirsute gentleman caller,  I shall have the very receptacle in which to serve his afternoon tea.

Come and show me what treasure you've found - bet it's not one of these!  Grab the badge and link up.

  4. Although I haven't bought one recently, I do have a pair in the loft somewhere - does that count?!

  5. My effort isn't strictly related to charity shops (hope that's okay) that has to be the best cup I've ever seen, even if you never used it you could always get it out as a conversation piece.

    1. Your post is superb Techno! Doesn't need to be charity shop - anything that's pre-loved counts.

      Thanks for the comments on the cup - I love it

    1. WEll, if you hadn't been faffing around on Saturday, you could have come to Leighton Buzzard with me and beaten me to it. It would have been the perfect wedding present! Oh wait, you were at his wedding on Saturday!

  7. ARGH HAHAHAHAHA BRILLIANT!
    Who thinks this things up? WHO?!
    I am going to invnent a tea cup for the small niche of people who are like me- constantly brewing up but always forgetting it is there. It needs a warming saucer and a 10 minute alarm "Drink your tea!"

  10. That's so cute! We have a moustache mug we thrifted awhile ago that has a little face on it (complete with a big curly moustache - there's a picture of it on our blog in this post if you're interested), but I didn't know these types of mugs were actually called "moustache mugs" until I read this post. Makes ours seem a little sillier :)
