I found this gorgeous bag in TK Maxx and I fell for the colour - it's described as 'chestnut' and reminds me of autumn (already thinking ahead).
I bought this copy of Les Mis in a charity shop for £1. I have been intending to read this for ages and I was pleased to finally find a copy which isn't in French.
I also picked up 'A Room of One's Own' which is an essay by Virginia Woolf. I haven't read anything by her before but this looks really interesting.
At a school fete I picked up this copy of 'The Lion, The Witch and The Wardrobe' by C.S Lewis for 50p. I love the cover and it looks like it's new. My friend recommends this book so much and I felt bad that I hadn't read it so I decided to give it a go.
I then picked up this gorgeous collective Beatrix Potter book for just 10p at the school fete - was rather chuffed with it and the illustrations really are adorable!
I got this reed diffuser in B&M for 99p as I am trying to collect them for uni due to the annoying no candles policy.
The following items I was lucky enough to have won in two separate giveaways run by the lovely Naomi of Oh Hello Mango and the equally lovely Char of t*rexes and tiaras for which I am hugely thankful and suggest you go and check out their blogs now.
I am just going to put everything together because I can no longer remember who sent what. Also, for some reason, I forgot to photograph a few things so some stuff is missing.
I thought this cute little bracelet was adorable and I am so excited to wear it.
These mushroom pegs are one of my favourite things that I got - they are so, so cute! I pretty much think that I am in love with them.
Another one on the list of adorable things I love are these cute little felt fox napkin rings. I really do like foxes so these were lovely to receive.
I do enjoy a nice face mask so I am interested to see how good these are.
I also got these lovely Invisibobble hairbands which are actually amazing! I was worried that they would snap - like many hairbands which have felt the wrath of my thick hair - but these stretch really well but also return to their original shape. They remind me a bit of an old-school telephone cord but they are lovely and I really recommend them.
I have now realised that perhaps I did have a few more things to share in this post than I expected - and I didn't even show everything that I won (I will share the other things in my next haul). I hope you will forgive such a long post and that you enjoyed it.
Great haul I love the bag and the books

Ooh! You picked some wonderful books! I read Les Miserables a few years ago and adored it! I need to find time to read it again. It's an adventure of a book for sure!
ReplyDeleteA Room of One's Own is really good/important, you'll like it I reckon! Great finds in general though, the bag is gorgeous and I'm intrigued by the hair elastic, though I think I'd be a bit scared to use it... it looks like it would tangle in my hair and I'd never get it out! xx
ReplyDeleteI might have to try those hair things!

Nice haul! The bag is gorgeous. And ugh, the no candles policy at university annoys me too. I would've loved to cosy up my uni room with some nice candles!
