Second Hand Shopper

Yesterday’s bargains

Posted by: Caroline on: June 15, 2008

So, as well as going over to the hippy side yesterday I managed to squeeze in a bit of charity shopping. I picked up a fabulous sequinned handbag for £3.50 (tres Agyness, n’est-pas?), some cute vintage tights with bows on the ankles for a measly £1, ad the red cropped cardi I’m wearing today for £2.25. Bargainous!

To finish off today’s outfit I’m wearing half the Hero jewels – the red rose looks lovely with my heart nails!

In a fit of silliness I had my tarot read yesterday. I did not tell the girl a thing about me, but this is hat she said:

She told me I’ve had a major upheaval, a big heartbreak, started a new job, moved a long distance, and all this year. Se told me she’d seen divorce, but upside down – meaning possibly there was never an actual wedding. She told me I’m very unhappy and need to let go of the past love, that in future relationships I need someone to match me, someone less needy and more independent. She told me this is not my year for love, to really give myself a chance to heal and to concentrate on my friends. She told me I have some true and great friends and that I am very lucky (she was spot on there!) and that it was ok to depend on them for a while – I should stop worrying about it.

She said I was a loyal, wise and noble woman, but prone to collecting junk and material possessions, and that I had to learn that I don’t need to own stuff. She said I’ve had a tough few months financially, but not to worry as these problems will soon be behind me. She said I should concentrate on growing any sideline businesses – the cards kept coming back to coin cards and telling me to use my determination to really set actions in motion. She told me to stop procrastinating.

She reiterated over and over that I must NOT marry for money. Even if I had the opportunity.

Finally, she told me she was struggling to decide which star sign I was as I the cards were telling her two. She said I was either Virgo or Libra (I’m on the cusp, but I lean more towards Libra as I have more Libran characteristics). She said there is or will be a Taurean in my life of great importance. Also, that my ideal match would be a Virgo.

So there you go. I still don’t know exactly how I feel about it, but I was impressed by some of what she said – and if nothing else it was what I needed to hear. And sometimes a girl just needs something to help through the days.

I’m pleased to see that Leamington still has some reasonably priced charity shops. Great finds!

The tarot woman sounds a bit scarily accurate!!

Fi – the better hidden charity shops are generally reasonable. The woman behind the counter at one in particular was brilliant – she kept saying “I can’t charge you £3.75 for that – have it for £1.75″ and similar, and she dropped an old 70s dress pattern I’d picked up in for free!

Sarah – I know, it creeped me out majorly (think I’ve been watching too much Clueless – creeped me out majorly??!) She also answered questions that were running through my head while I was sitting there, which creeped me out even more… I’ll fill you in when you come visit! xxx

I nearly bought those tights! But Ben was shooing me out of the shop… which meant they were there for you to buy!!

Hehehe – they had two pairs you know… maybe you could go back for the others! Cxx
