Thrifting in Totnes

I think a little bit of sunshine is called for on this very wet, cold and dreary night. It is blowing a gale and tipping it down with rain here. So I'm sat huddled up with the computer, in my PJ's and drinking green tea. Oh I certainly know how to live it up on Saturday nights lol!

Anyway I remembered that I hadn't blogged about our visit to Totnes. We went there a couple of weeks ago, on a Friday as I had been told that was the best day to go!

Well what a beautiful place and look at that blue sky! We walked along the river path and watched people going out on their boats, I must admit I was walking fairly fast as I was on a mission to find the famous Friday market. The sign said it was at the top of the high street, this high street is definately high, it's uphill all the way, with lots of lovely shops, which I was going to look in on the way down, after hitting the charity shops

Didn't quite work out that way as I got a bit carried away in the market and the charity shops so all three of us and the pushchair couldn't carry anymore, the only thing that was light at that stage was my purse! My fifteen year old who loved the market and the charity shops spent so much that even she said 'lets go home I'm charideed out' lol! So we got some lunch and took it over to the riverbank and sat and ate lunch while Lily shouted 'go away seagull this is my lunch'
I'm so pleased we went there as it such a lovely place and has a very peaceful atmosphere and such a fantastic market.
Just a few of the bits I bought:

I really like this tiny picture on wood.

A couple of plates.

Some florals.

I love this yellow bowl, I don't know why but I'm always buying bowls large and small, usually floral!

My absolute favourite piece a wall plate it should go nicely with all the flower pictures I have for the lounge wall.

This was just a few of the things I also had the 'Tara' teaset from a previous post, some Pyrex, lots of books and a big tub of Duplo. I cannot believe I have never been here before as I only live about an hour and a half away. Never mind Plymouth and Exeter christmas shopping I shall be going to Totnes and Torquay this year as well, Ssh OH doesn't know yet.

So we then went off to enjoy the rest of the day and some more sunshine at Goodrington sands and found, to Lily's joy, a rockpool full of crabs and hermit crabs!

And look at those gorgeous beach huts must add one of those to my wish list!!
