Best charity shop find?

That's so hard as 90% of my life is charity shop finds! I'd have to say my mid century coffee table with a top that flips to become a footstool.

Favourite type of event?

I absolutely love a vintage event, whether it's clothes, furniture or bric-a-brac!

Meet Katie

Best charity shop find?

A few years ago I got a black vintage Gucci Tom Ford era shoulder bag from the 90s.

Favourite type of event?

A good old-fashioned Car Boot. It’s the getting up early, the bartering, the smells, and seeing toys and clothes for sale that you had growing up; it all feels very nostalgic.

Meet Will

Meet Will

Best charity shop find?

Probably my Newcastle brown ale jumper!

Favourite type of event?

Definitely vinyl events.
