How've you been?
My day has been filled with bargains and oddities. Let's start with the bargains, shall we?
I popped into the New Look sale on my way home (damn those huge red signs in the window saying DRESSES! FIVE POUNDS!) and walked out with my 8 millionth piece of novelty knitwear. Isn't he precious? I think I'm going to call him Renard.
Fox jumper - £11 in the New Look sale |
Then, whilst grabbing our dinner from Tesco, I accidentally
You might think that's some rather excessive, but I reckon I've been rather restrained today, really... I mean, just LOOK what I found in Lewes Antique Shop:
Excuse the shoddy photo here. If you can't tell, this is a bag of pinecones. For £2. |
You know what put me off about decorating with pinecones at Christmas? How dang expensive they are. I mean, a girl has to EAT people- so one can't go frittering all one's money away on pinecones. If only I'd known sooner that I could've picked some up for a mere £2 (and antique ones, no less!)
To be fair, I shouldn't expect too much from this stall, because I've previously seen them selling last-season's Primark as vintage, daahling, for more than it originally cost...
And then, just when you thought things couldn't get any better...
FOURTEEN doll faces, for a mere £10 |
I don't even know where to start with how creepy this is, or what I love about it the most. Perhaps the fact it's a bulk purchase? I mean, why buy one doll face when you can buy 14?! Or the fact that Joy has chosen to display them like a celebratory fruit basket for cannibals....
To top off the oddball sundae that has been today, I spotted this poster gracing the platform opposite on my way home from work today.
I have NO IDEA what a "Mr Tom's Tomface" is, but I really want to make Tom do it.
Have you seen anything strange lately? A bucket of teddy bear legs, perhaps?

I can see teddy bear heads....they are ones I never get around to finishing ;)
ReplyDeleteHaha good point Amanda! But your bears are adorable, and doll faces are definitely terrifying :) xxx
DeleteDolls faces.....creepiest thing pretty much ever. However, I do sort of hope that in a parallel universe there's a baskets of dolls arses on sale for a mere £10.
ReplyDeleteNow THAT would be hard to resist! Think of all the fun that could be had with a bunch of tiny arses... fascinators, for a start. xxx
DeleteLol this post is mental.i love your new jumper and SO jealous of your chocolate haul! Xx
ReplyDeleteI'm sure other supermarkets are doing it; you should definitely go and check! xxx
DeleteDamn Damn, I was JUST in Tesco and meant to check the seasonal aisle for bargains and forgot!!!! Are there any more fox jumpers left??? I vant vun, must check on line....
ReplyDeleteThe dolls are just bizarre!!! I just wanted to check, you were being sarky about the pune cones weren't you??? You didn't really buy them did you? X
I'm sure they'll have some left tomorrow :) 35p chocolate bards are well worth an unscheduled supermarket detour in my opinion! There are many fox jumpers left - I got mine in the shop but the link under the photo takes you to them online.
DeleteDon't panic - I was being sarky. Our house remains pinecone free.xxx
I too have been buying tons of christmas chocolate (and cheeselets) for mere pennies! Think I've put on more weight in the last week than I did over Christmas :/
ReplyDeleteThat doll face basket will give me so many nightmares :/ where are the rest of them?! Maybe someone gave the bodies animal faces...?
I can get you free pinecones... mine are sprayed gold... just saying. :D
xxxxx
Good work! I was eyeing up the cheesy football tubs today that I used to eat by the handful as a child, but couldn't see a veggie safe symbol anywhere. Booo.
DeleteI think I might be dangerously close to the poisonous level of chocolate consumption. She says, throwing back more chocolate stars.
Sorry about the nightmares... perhaps I should've put a warning at the start of the post? xxxx
