I've been feeling a bit feeble lately so I was glad when a friend suggested a trip into town to sweeten our Tuesday afternoon. We always do the same tour: first the recycling centre, then a meal in a fabulous Turkish restaurant followed by luxurious soya lattes in a very nice book shop.
The recycling centre is really the best possible place for hunting for treasures - big or small. You can get anything from sofas to earrings and at a very reasonable price! (This one also has a free shop where you can just get stuff for nothing or bring some things you want to get rid of.) This time I got a bit carried away and got a blouse, a skirt, a toy dog, a towel, a painting, a big wooden toy and a pair of shoes - all this for less than 10 euros! The pair of shoes was my favourite find this time - they're decorated with Mexican sugar skulls I've always found very pleasing!
Oh, it's like a thrift store! Good thing your friend suggested that trip. You must be really thankful 'coz you enjoyed the experience. Did you go back to that centre?

It is a bit like a thrift store indeed! Just had another visit last week and found loads of good bargains again - this time mainly clothes for my kids who by the way are the reason for my long, long blogging silence! Thanks for commenting - it's nice to know someone looks at this occasionally!
