Welcome to my monthly pre-loved bargain post, which is always one of my favourite posts to write. 😀There's something so satisfying about finding something you genuinely need or love second-hand, especially when it costs a fraction of what it would have done new or even what it's worth now. This month's post has somehow turned into a handbag special, which wasn't intentional at all, but I realised I had four very different pre-loved bags that I wanted to share. We're talking everything from a £1.50 vintage Disney bag to a pre-loved vintage Prada bag, with a … [Read more...]
This month’s pre-loved finds {July 2026}….
Welcome to my monthly pre-loved bargain post, which is always one of my favourite posts to write. 😀There's something so satisfying about finding something you genuinely need or love second-hand, especially when it costs a fraction of what it would have done new.This month I thought I'd share just two of my favourite pre-loved finds with you as there's quite a lot to tell you about them both...You might have seen me mention this in last week's five little things post but this month we bought one of my favourite things for the house so far. We found a vintage fireplace at our … [Read more...]
Don’t Rush Your Home….
When we moved into this house, we could easily have gone shopping and bought everything we needed in one go. It would certainly have been quicker, and within a few weeks every room would probably have looked finished. There would have been furniture in every corner, pictures on every wall and accessories on every shelf and although there's absolutely nothing wrong with decorating like that, I don't think our house would have felt like ours in the way it does if that's what we'd done. We've chosen to take our time decorating and furnishing our new house. There are still shelves … [Read more...]
The best things about bringing a Victorian house back to life….
After writing about the worst things about living in a Victorian reno project last week, it only feels fair to give the house a chance to defend itself. 😁 Because yes, there is dust everywhere. Yes, every job turns into three other jobs. Yes, we have a plasterer on speed dial, and yes, I have had more conversations about door knobs, cladding lengths and paint finishes than I ever imagined possible. But underneath all of that, there is also a very big reason why we fell in love with this house in the first place.Living in a Victorian reno project is chaotic, expensive and … [Read more...]
This month’s pre-loved finds {June 2026}….
Welcome to my monthly pre-loved bargain post, which is always one of my favourite posts to write. 😀There's something so satisfying about finding something you genuinely need or love second-hand, especially when it costs a fraction of what it would have done new.This month's finds are a real mixture of practical purchases, home finds and a couple of things that I bought because they made me smile when I spotted them. Some were charity shop finds, some came from Facebook Marketplace and a few were the sort of bargains that make you do a little happy dance when you get them home. … [Read more...]
{Pre-Loved} The Most Exciting Thing In Our House Right Now Is….
.... A Filing Cabinet! I know. Younger me would be absolutely horrified at what now passes as excitement in my life, but honestly, I’m obsessed with our new pre-loved filing cabinet and the level of organisation that this brings into our lives. There are some things in our new house that my partner has really wanted (our banquet length dining room table and all the car stuff 😁) and there are some things that I really wanted and this filing cabinet is very much a me thing as I hate feeling disorganised and moving house has meant that we have more paperwork than we've ever … [Read more...]
