We have been
here four weeks now and I am starting to get my bearings. Having sold our house
in Lancashire we are currently living in rented property, while we find the
right property for us to buy and call our own. Unfortunately the house is
furnished and although I have brought some of our things with us, most of it had
to go into storage.
Yesterday feeling
a need to make things look less beige and more us, we decided to get in the car
to see what’s out there. I was reading frugal Queens blog, and realised her
home town is around 8 miles from us. So
off we went into Liskeard and had a wander around the charity shops. I found this glass jug with lid for 75p,
perfect for making up cordial and popping into the fridge for the boys to
drink.
Not one to miss
a bargain I heard there was a car boot sale on Saturdays not far from Liskeard
so I got in the car to find St Ive. On arrival it seemed quiet, according to
one of the stall holders it is usually a lot busier but due to the Olympic torch
passing through Liskeard yesterday it was quiet, still I managed to buy these
great kitchen utensils all four for 50p once I’ve rubbed the handles down and
painted them they will look great.
Also this 1950’s
vase for the amazing price of £1, once filled with some fresh flowers this will
start to make this house feel more homely.
