Recent Charity Shop Chic purchases...

Today my Charity Shop jolly found me empty handed in the clothes department. This is quite unusual for me as I usually buy something every time I go Charity Shop shopping; great for the wardrobe, not so much for the bank account, but hey, at least it's for charity and the prices aren't exactly going to break the bank. I did however find a few little bric a brac gems...


A 1977 Kodak Instamatic 25 which simply looks cool, but also takes beautiful retro photos (well it would if I could find anywhere where I can buy the film for it...). This was just £1 and came with the original Kodak leather case and strap. I always seem to be drawn to old cameras; anything up to the 1980's before they started to get more technical and plain to look at. There is something about an old camera; its history and what it might have captured through its lens. Magical.

I also got a couple of kitsch little photo frames, one with a rather cute little monochrome picture inside and another with a lovely white and gold edge which I will be sure to fill with something artistic or just a photo memory.
