Charity Shops Rock

Sometimes I just love second-hand stores. I don't often stop in them, because they do take a bit of poking around to find the good stuff, and Pumpkin doesn't usually have the patience for that. But last week, when I was in Cork, it felt like a good day to stop at a few of my favorites.

And it was. Mostly at one shop, I got:

• dark blue, good fitting jeans for me
• a cute black shirt with fun red/white 70s-ish designs and 3/4 length sleeves
• a pair of blue jeans for Pumpkin with a flower on them
• a pair of stretchy dark pink leggings/pants for her
• a pair of pink pants that I thought would fit her, but they're really meant to be capris for when she's a bit bigger
• two little Fisher-Price horses that will go with her farm set
• a "new with tags" wintery penguin that will get put away for stocking stuffing
• a NWT little stuffed dalmatian puppy
• a cute little brown teddy bear with red pjs with holly on them (very Xmasy)
• a Fisher-Price musical toy complete with all its parts that she ADORES and had to bring to bed with her that first night
• and the "Tiny Toy Stories" video that is only about 20 minutes long, but has been enjoyed for probably more than 5 hours already.

And one of the best things about all that... total cost was 20 Euros. You can't beat that on a budget!
