These are the results of a thrifting trip I took last weekend to Deptford market. It was pouring with rain when I arrived, and to start with it seemed like the stalls were only selling food or cheap household wares. However my friends and I eventually stumbled across the flea market type section of the market. There were stalls selling various bits of furniture and such assorted junk. We all felt very sorry for an old dolls house that was getting soaked in the rain. There was one great stall with two big bins of clothes, some rails and then just a big heap of clothes on the floor. We all got stuck in and I found all of the above which came to £15 for the lot. I wouldn't normally buy second hand high street things, but the gap dress just feels like it will go with anything. I wanted that duffel coat when it was in the store but for £65 I decided I didn't need another coat, for £4 I can't really resist. I am especially pleased with the leaf print jacket, as a girl was trying it on when we arrived and then discarded it, not sure why as it's in great condition. Along with my haul, my friends bought a fish tank, a metal trunk, a Barbour jacket, a 1960s maxi dress and a 1980s silk shirt. Not bad for a rainy market. Think I'll be going there again.

Inside of my favourite shop - doesn't the green dress remind you of the sound of music

I've had some lovely times this past week, a visit to Bath, including a cider festival, markets and a strudel bar. Then pancake day, valentine's day and a trip to Brighton, including a visit to a chocolate cafe and possibly the best chocolate milkshake I have ever tasted. I meant to take plenty of photos but I only managed to take a few. However I did manage to go to one of my favourite shops. It's a huge antiques/vintage/bric-a-brac shop in Brighton's Lanes. I can never leave there empty handed, particularly since they have a big box of vintage photos for rummaging through. I bought several which I will post soon. I'd like some more weeks like this past one.
