Shop till you Drop

Last weekend as the weather was so sunny i took a  cheeky trip to Brighton wearing my new Laura Ashley Sails dress that i got in the sale a couple of weeks ago, but i must say the way that Laura Ashley go about their Collect from Store service needs a revamp. They email you to say the order has been despatched, but then there is no other information apart from you then having to track your order via the link in the email (which i did not receive in mine) and then you have to pay a guessing game and guess which day you are going to go and see if the delivery is in. This is not 21st century and to be honest i don't think i will use this service again www.lauraashley.com/Summer-Sale‎

Dress - Laura Ashley Sale

Whilst i was in Brighton i went to my favourite shop The Red Gecko which is just off the lanes www.theredgecko.co.uk and noticed that they were selling the same scarves as me, but for £15.00 each! So i do seem to be the cheapest in the area compared to other shops as mine are £10.00 with FREE UK P&P. All scarves can be purchased through my Facebook - simplyscarves or through my +Instagram link on the blog widget simplyscarves

I had seen the last time i visited Brighton a light shop called Cable & Cotton which sells the most fantastic idea for fairy lights www.cableandcotton.co.uk where you select any colour cotton balls that they have in tubs around the shop and make your own variety ranging from a 20, 35 or 50 light string. These lights are very attractive and because they can be changed over the colour schemes are limitless. 

Sunday i went to a large car boot sale in Pease Pottage which is just off the M23, J11. I initially went to see what it was like as i have so much stuff to sell and i was amazed at how busy it was. There were people coming out with bags full of items and returning to their car to then go back in again, which i admit i did that too. There were so many bargains to be had there, that to get rid of my own items i am going to have to either avoid this one or bite the bullet and let items go for very cheap. I like to find bargains myself, but i do not like to give mine away.

As you can see i managed to get quite a little hoard for myself, which will help me when i eventually get around to sorting out my +Etsy page www.etsy.com/your/shops/anyoldchina but for some reason the pictures that i have taken on my ipad do not transfer over to Etsy too well and i am going to have to retake all the pictures and start from scratch, but i think i am going to leave that until i finish work for the 6 weeks holidays and then i will have more time to concentrate and work out where i am going wrong - fingers crossed otherwise i have another project for all the china i have accumulated that i do not want for myself - watch this space!
