Latest charity shop haul

Do I need to introduce a charity shop haul?  I don't think so... So let's jump right in:

Firstly, a couple of cat-related things from my local Cats Protection shop.  Daisy has a water bowl indoors, but I noticed recently that she likes to drink fresh rainwater outside.  Maybe it tastes better to her, more natural, I'm not sure.  So I decided to get her a water bowl that can stay permanently outside, and I picked this little one up for £1.49. 

Inside the bowl is a tiny little key fob (99p).  I was cat-sitting for a friend over the weekend, and I knew I had my friend's spare key, but I didn't know which one it was because I'd taken the fob off.  So I wanted a kitty-themed one to remind me.  And I found just the thing!  Often, charity shopping can be hit and miss, but this was almost like cosmic ordering!

 
Also from Cats Protection, for £1.99, I got this vase.  I was sort of looking for a creative way to display jewellery, and I thought it would work for that, but actually, I just like it as an object.

Over to the MIND mental health charity shop next, and I found this lovely big scarf for £4.  It reminds me of my student days in the early 90s, when it would have got up on the wall.  Now, I'm thinking of using it as a throw for the end of the bed.  (Please excuse the state of the wall, it's been scrapped down for repainting...)

Over at Cancer Research, I found this shirt for £3.25.  I didn't used to wear shirts, but now I love them as a extra cosy layer, especially now that I don't have to look vaguely smart to go to the office any more.  This shirt is quite thick and slightly fluffy, so it will get a lot of use when autumn comes along.  Although it isn't exactly hot here today...

Last, a book for £1.50, also from Cancer Research.  Lately, I've found myself reading a lot more non-fiction of various kinds, on the grounds that the real world is pretty interesting. But when I find a really good author, it's great to get lost in the realm of fiction again.  I'd previously read 'Where'd You Go, Bernadette' by Maria Semple, and loved it, so when I spotted this book, also by her, I snapped it up. 

And that's it for this haul.  As usual, I'm pretty pleased with everything I've got.

Have you had any good charity shop finds recently?
