    Mr. Carrington. Because of you I am now addicted to thrifting. It is really fun and relaxing for me. I have found some nice things along the way. Just this past week, I have purchased a beautiful porcelain figurine of a collie. I didn’t need it, but I bought ‘Lassie’ anyway. Your vlogs are so calming and pleasant. Keep up the great work!

      @Mr Carrington Yes. A tad at large 11 inches (27.94 cm), but it’s a great addition to my small collection porcelain dogs.

    The Christmas cactus , redline 1:33, should be in the sun only when it is being forced to bloom for the Christmas season. Otherwise it should be kept in subdued light.

    Still seem pricey compared to our North West Manchester charity shops but good by London prices. Like the car park/ cafe but I would want higher sides 😱😱

    Here in Oregon USA, we have a Goodwill As-Is store that sells by weight. If you reach 20 lbs worth, your cost is $1.25 per pound. You have to rummage thru big tables and when they bring out new ones (every few hours or so) its total chaos but wonderful bargains can be had!

    Peckham never used to be the way that you see it now. It was completely different but for the better due to regeneration and development. It’s git some nice places to go, and I do hope that the PeckhamPlex is in a lot not better condition the last time I went there. Lovely visit to the charity shops, it’s great that we’re still able to recycle, reuse and donate!

    I remember when Charity shops were really cheap. I do not think they are now. Rarely hold sale days. I stopped visiting them. Of course they have overheads but, it is big business now, not so much charity I am sad to say. The ones you are visiting are different, nice items, not worn out or chipped up!

  • @TheBookSquirrelUK
    @TheBookSquirrelUK 2 ปีที่แล้ว +3

    I rarely find any bargains in charity shops - not my size, or not my taste etc, but I was looking for a white blouse for the summer, and spotted a good-as-new Mint Velvet one for £14.99 in a Shelter boutique store in North London. Retail price of around £70, so I’m happy with that!

    Love that white sweater, it was so you and looks like cotton? be great for cool summer evenings and days leading into Autumn. Saw some vintage Pyrex in one of your shops, I am like Oooh vintage Pyrex pick that up!! Little cat you met along the way seemed to like you, he was a cutie wasn't he? Love the bar on the rooftop and the fact it was once a car park, great re-use of a building like that. Have a good week to come and I look forward to seeing what you have in store for us next week. Have a great week end and week ahead, enjoy this sunshine, preferably without a warm sweater on!

    Hi Iwan, I really enjoyed your thrifting video. I REALLY do wish I could go thrifting as there were a LOT of things that I would loved to have purchased, but I just CANT get over "why are they here" you know, did someone die? I really wish I could get over this but alas as 70 I think the possibility is non existent now. However I really do enjoy your videos so please keep doing them. Have a great rest of the day and weekend and I look forward to your next video. Take care love Lyn xx xx

    Love looking round charity shops with you and like your choice of music. I'd not been for a while but went 3 days to various places this week. I usually get an armful of jigsaws, cds books and dresses, my best buy this week being a very summery dress for £3. Same labels in shops ridiculous prices and as for bobbly glasses just under £20 in very exclusive Farm Shop, haha. You are a great bargain hunter.

    Two days ago, I found a wonderful heavy silver plated Brighton bangle bracelet with crystals going from pink to dark red at my Value Village here in Tacoma. I paid $9.99 for it. I think it would normally go for anywhere between $75 to $100. I can't believe it was priced at that amount and that anyone would have donated it in the first place. That rooftop bar looks fabulous and what views!

    I loved the sideboard in the first shop you went in and £150 was a reasonable price. I have been busy donating to thrift shops so havent shopped as such but I have looked.
    My best finds in the last 6 momths have been 2 new Villeroy & Boch Wave mugs and one has a London scene and the other Kingfishers (I know how much they cost new [£27 each] but I paid £2.50 each for them. Another great find was a Wedgwood Mantel clock which I use and I bought an Art Deco Uranium glass dressing table set which glows eerily under black light.
