    Decided to pop out this morning as its a lovely warm day and went to a local charity shop beginning with B, I walked out with a full tea set consisting of 23 teacups, 23 saucers, 23 side plates, 2 milk jugs, 1 sugar bowl and a tea pot for £12.99 couldnt believe it what a find and I also bought a set of 3 blue and gold gilt teacups, 3 saucers, 3 side plates and 3 big plates for £3.99 the side plates and big plates will be made into 3 x 2 tier cup cake stands, I also got 6 rose pattern teacups, 6 saucers and 6 side plates for £2.99, a teapot for £2 and a rose sugar bowl for £1.49 and won £20 on a scratch card which paid for the majority of it so all in all its cost me £23.46 but if i take my winning scratch card off its cost me £4.46 :) just had to share as if you want this sort of thing for your weddings charity shops are def the way to go rather then hiring buying from other shops xx

    Thank you Ladies the best thing is its costing me less to buy then hire the money goes to a good cause and also if I sell on I get my money back so not really costing me anything in the long run. I will be posting more of my finds on here once I get the chance to get some pics will get some better pics of the crockery aswell when its not shoved in the box. I really encourage that people have a look in these shops as it is a great cause and can also save ££££sss xx
