A big thrifty find and a bag







It was ironic that I bought this 1970's sofa so we could snuggle next to the fire in colder weather. A day after my man with a van went to collect it, everything froze and we moved out. 2 weeks later and we can sit and be warm and cozy. Apart from Sam who uses it to demonstrate his spiderman moves.

It is also a sofa bed - though I'm a bit funny about sleeping on something so old but it is of fantastic quality - all for 40 euros! And a crochet knitting bag which I could not resist for 1 euro ;)

What wonderful thifty finds - the sofa is gorgeous. We recently purchase a secondhand dinning room table from a thifty store, and i'm in love with it ♥

Thrifting is definitely better where you are. 16 charity shops in my town and it's all mostly rubbish *sigh*

How cute is your dog - that's my kind of woofty!
