I have been to plenty of vintage shops to realise that most of the items for sale are the half decent stuff plucked from the rails of the British Heart Foundation shop. And even then, half decent is a generous descripton.
So, get your thinking caps on and head to the villages or towns in your area that are a little more well off than the surrounding areas and hit the charity shops. Make sure you have cash in your pocket and time on your hands (this won't work if you're dragging a toddler around and bribing them with biscuits).
And I'm not just talking about clothes here. Have a look at these kitsch glass flasks with a leather jacket. They conjure up images of snow shoes, reindeer and hot toddies. They may not be to everyone's taste, but for 50p each, it's worth taking them into your home, and seeing if they work. If they don't, remember to pass it on and donate them.
You can always find some great glasswear too. I chose this lovely decorative glass which came in a set of 6 for £2. Perfect for a novel way to serve champagne, or cava, of course!
