Did you see it?!
The Sun was here! I mean there was still a chill in the air, but the sun was definitely shining. I sat in a beer garden and everything. On Saturday I had sensible plans to do all sorts of important and necessary house work, but the sun was just too irresistible and instead I went for a wander round some Charity Shops interspersed with beer in a selection of pubs and beer gardens, and very pleasant it was too, sod the house work.
Bargain of the day was a floral dress, probably 80s I think, for the grand total of £3.99. And wonder of wonders, the weather stayed sunny enough for me to wear it on Sunday to the Historical Sauces Beauty School class. Look how I have to squint my eyes in the sun, it’s a wonder!

The dress has a lovely watercolour floral print, ribbon trim on the bodice, pockets (love a dress with pockets!) and beautiful puffed sleeves, they’re a little tight on me, but I’m used to that now!
I even wore flowers in my hair. The world seems like a whole different place when the sun is shining and everyone seems in a much better mood. Long may it continue, though having lived in England my whole life I’m well aware that next week I could be knee deep in snow again.
The other thing I didn’t do while I was lounging in beer gardens was my roots, so they’ll have to wait another week. I didn’t find any other clothing wonders in the Charity Shops, but I did find 2 books from the Neil Gaiman graphic novel The Sandman for 50p each, which is frankly a bargain and fell in love with this cocktail cabinet in Aladdins Cave antiques market. It was £110, which is a bit out of my price range, so I shall admire it from afar and see if the price drops before someone else snaps it up!
I’ve been jealous seeing other people’s Boot Fair bargains this weekend, but we’ve still not unpacked all the china and glassware since we moved last year, so Boot Fairs are banned until the stuff we already have has proper homes.
How was your weekend? Did you enjoy the sunshine or find any bargains?
