| Vintage Home Buys | Highstreet | No.2 |

Whilst out thrift shopping on a sunny Friday I came across lots of lovely little home ware pieces that I loved!

I thought i'd share these little gems with you and hopefully it will inspire you to look out for nice home wares in Charity shops and the High street!
 There is nothing wrong with being cheap! It means more money for FOOD!

I saw a four set of these little soup bowls and dishes and they scream 60's/70's Hotpot!I thought they were thoroughly sweet and bright!
I also see nothing wrong with buying plates/cups etc from Charity Shops, as long as you give them a bloody good clean you're saving £££ in the long run!

I saw this and couldn't contain my nerd squeals, someone lend me £100.
A Mint condition Atari with a selection of games available to buy including Frogger and Pac Man! I think I can speak for everyone when I say asdfghjkl.


Atari Video Computer System
£100

This next item, by far excited me the most. A Manual Singer Sewing machine from the 1930/40's. Bewildered by the £10 price tag I asked about it to the two adorable ladies working there, and much to my happiness it was £10 indeed!

Safe to say I snapped it up immediately and hauled my Brother out to help me collect it! It's cast iron and bloody heavy!

Once I got it home my dad looked it over and it all seems in working order, I'm going to move a sturdy coffee table into my room and set it up there and sew for England!

Moving over from Charity Shops to High Street shops I'll start off with this adorable little pillow I spotted in Primark!
If it wasn't so overpriced (in my eyes anyway) I would of snapped it up!
I love the ditsy floral detail and the Vintage Bicycle motif!
