Best Charity Shop Find Of The Year

Considering that none of us have had many days to shop or as I call it ‘mooch around’ our local charity shops. I view my latest charity shop find as nothing less than serendipitous treasure. I love the word ‘serendipity’ it sounds like its filled with magic and romance. Those 11 letters dance on the tongue especially the ‘dipity’ bit. I digress, back to charity shop finds . . .

Age UK is best for Charity Shop Finds

For some reason all my local branches of the Age UK Charity shops are where I find my best charity bargains. Be it books, ceramics, pottery or even tea-towels! Age UK is where its at for me. Plus it is a charity that does so much for our older UK generation. This year they have worked harder than ever, so I always feel its a win win situation, Im donating by buying, I’m saving clothes from landfill and supporting my parents generation.

The Details & the Tailoring Are Superb

Let me tell you about my latest find. A brand new (complete with labels, spare button and all tailoring features sewn up) wool and cashmere camel coat by Kin from John Lewis & partners With beautiful features including, a hidden button placket, all fully lined, with bound button holes and a very useful inner pocket.

This coat is warm, lightweight and cut to be over-sized with a relaxed fit. Perfect for me. Have I mentioned the price? It was a charity shop bargain at £14.99. I know, I could hardly believe it myself. The woman behind me was ready to jump in and claim it I could tell. I grabbed my prize, took it to the till, explained I didn’t need a bag and immediately wore it home!

Best Charity Find for December?

Watch this space! The minute I’m allowed out to shop, I am heading straight to my local charity shops. Its the thrill of the chase that has me hooked and those preloved charity shop designer finds that are waiting for me. See you there?
