Warm connections from Aruba🇦🇼 (where I am working this week) and Colorado 🇺🇸♥️🌿

All of the dresses are gorgeous!! I think the yellow is my favourite though 😊 really love your style ❤

What tummy? The autumn tunic looked fine on you

Thank you for doing this video. I appreciate the homely and cosy things of life too. May I ask if you are a libra? Best wishes Gaynor Elizabeth xx

Great finds! 👍😊 💐 The liitle things in life are the best and even more so when money is tight 👍☺️ Enjoy your little treats 👍☺️💫☺️💫

Cozy ❤️ you are so sweet I love your videos

What a wonderful haul! I love soft pjs and a cosy blanket too and the mugs are gorgeous. I'd probably use the big acorn mug to hold my homemade butternut squash soup. Will have to get down to the shops ASAP. Thank you for sharing. My birthday's towards the end of October too so this is perfect timing. 🎃☕🍂

❤❤❤😊

It’s lovely that you bought a few things to celebrate your favourite season! Such pretty and useful things too. Having stuff we like is good self care. I remember decades ago when I was very poor, after being homeless for a while. My flat was horrible, my clothes were horrible, my cutlery and crockery were horrible, my bedding and furniture were horrible… it really gets you down. And now when I’m better off, with things I like and which work better, I’m much better. I think you made very sensible choices. Hello from another October birthday!

Thanks for the remind of how important it is to look after your mental health and well-being,and yes it can be the smallest of things that can bring the most joy. Thank you for sharing . Susan 🌺🌼🌺

Aww I love all your purchases especially the acorn mug, I would of been the same as I love finding a new mug that makes me happy ❤

I watched Victorian farm, when I was younger I worked at Richards.great haul from a new subscriber.

Hi. Im guessing that your favourite colour is green and also scoop necklines! 😁

Alison : what tummy ?

Lovely items

The tunic top is fine, definitely not too small for you!

I love Autumn but Im far too warm to get my autumn clothes out yet! We go on holiday in September and once we're home it's going to be Autumn in our house! I love that fox print, TU make the most beautiful blouses but I always have to go a size or 2 up in them! Those trousers look fabulous! With the cardigan you look so cosy! I love the checked shirt over the dungarees look too I Might have to do that one myself! You look GORGEOUS in the weird fish dress! Fab autumn haul :)

I love that you recycle clothes. Good for all of us and the planet. I love shopping in thrift shops, its fun!

The tunic top looked good on you

I have an identical fox blouse but mine is in green and brown and I do agree yours is n't the best colours and is a bit short,love the jumper we must have similar taste as again have one nearly identical.You really suit those gathered low necks on blouses and dresses,shame about the tunic I never buy down a size because I can't bear clingy clothes especially over my tum if I have to buy up a size I quite enjoy the challenge of altering to fit.

Autumn is my favourite season as well.

Turn the high neck dress around, so on backwards, leaving the button open and tucking in sides to make a v neck. See if you like it that way, i do this all the time as i can not stand anything round my neck either, but like yourself, I fall in love with a print so just turn it around. Hope that helps 😊

Lovely bits on you. The tunic looks fine on you. Not so sure about high necked dress. Fab finds 🎉

Just found your channel and have subscribed :) All the pieces you bought are lovely! The broderie top is EXACTLY what I am on the hunt for!

Don't know how into sewing you are but you mentioned a sewing machine so perhaps create a channel on the waist of the dungarees by using the surplus material there and thread elastic or a contrasting cord through it would bring the crotch higher.

Warm connections and admiration from Colorado (🇺🇸)! Really fun to see and hear about your haul🌸🌼🌺

You did a great job Alison, it's always a wee bit scary attempting shirring for the first time. Dress looks lovely on you. :)

Beautiful haul bab I always shop charity shops what clothing would u not buy from a charity shop xxxx

Wow, very interesting and a great idea. ❤ well done. X

I remember Richards Shops. I had a few things from there in the late 80s. The dress really suits you. Charity shops are great for books.♥️

:o what a useful idea

Very inspiring ☺️ Amazing what you can do with a tiny budget 👍☺️ Great choices 👍💐

That was lovely ☺️💐 Your home looks very cosy 🤗💫

I love MAU makeup especially the lipsticks as a redhead I've been using the same shade for a few years now but I was in Suprerdrug in Newcastle last week and they've stopped making the 1I use.it's a lipstick with a lip gloss on the bottom. I couldn't find the same colour either.

My friend Leigh and me love charity clothes shopping we always know where to find a bargain.❤️ Lorna

I love all your autumn outfits! Thrift store shopping is so fun. I like your cream sweater with the white cardigan. Wearing a necklace would draw the eye up toward your face. My favorite combination was the sheer blouse with the patterned vest! The pumpkin skirt was cute too! Good finds!

I’ve been buying the MUA products for years because they’re vegan and cruelty-free as well as fantastic and cheap! It looks as if they’ve repackaged some things - I remember Mystic and Heartbreaker when they were normal lipsticks. I have a Brow Define thing from them which is really good.

Love the shade of lipstick. Will pop in shop to see if they still have them 👍 thanks Alison

Love the MUA products xx

Hi Alison, new subscriber here! So glad I found your channel - I’m really enjoying your charity shop hauls and you’ve given me lots of inspiration to get an autumn wardrobe together for later on in the year. I’m 61 yrs young and I’ve found that my wardrobe has become really boring and dull … so, along with a bit of dressmaking, I’m hoping to cheer things up a bit! 😊👍

Those dungerees are a perfect fit as they are meant to be worn like that. The dropped crotch is a style. Hope that helps 😊

Where are these available to buy as i followed the link to shopify and its saying there isnt anything in your shop? Thanks 😊

You could always shorten the straps on the dungerees

A great haul. You bagged yourself some bargains there. Well done.

Gorgeous❤

That Richards Shops dress is heavenly! I had a dress from them that I must have worn a thousand times - until it disintegrated! Their clothes were beautifully made.

If you enjoy The Bell Jar, I recommend Plath’s book of short stories too: Johnny Panic and the Bible of Dreams. I enjoy dark fantasy too, though mostly older works such as those by Tanith Lee or Mercedes Lackey.

The burgundy Primark dress looked best, I thought - such a wonderful colour, and it seems to fit you really well.

Wow! You are very good at picking pieces and styling them.

That’s absolutely beautiful!
