We’re currently on holiday so I have been lucky to have several new charity shops to browse.
Last week we were in Teignmouth where I found this beauty:
a vintage Tonka truck. I was strangely excited when I saw this as it wasn’t plastic but metal. There’s a little bit of rust but nothing that can’t be fixed and it’s perfect for Edward to play with in his new sandpit! It’s quite big so I couldn’t hide it in my handbag but fortunately my husband liked it so was happy to buy it.
We’re currently on the Isle of Wight where I found this small brooch, probably 1950s, for me:
It’s very kitsch but Cath Kidston-esque and I couldn’t resist it for £1.
I’m trying to be good and not buy too much but it’s hard when I’m surrounded by so many great charity shops!
Linking up with Flea Market Finds, Magpie Monday and Thrift Share Monday

You can’t leave a Tonka truck behind! And it’s not like a brooch takes up room… I think you’ve been incredibly restrained so far.

My little man would love to play with that Tonka truck and love the brooch. Lovely finds.
Wow – that Tonka is in great shape! Most little boys played their toys to death. Lucky!
