Hi, I thought you would like to see some of my 'charity' bargains. I love the candlesticks, they will clean up nicely (£4), the green vase is a beautiful colour (£8)and although I'm pleased with the lamp (£4), I will not be using the shade. The stand itself is very good quality. You will see all of the items in my finished porch - work begins tomorrow...

Oh, and the great news is the outside of the house is being painted in two weeks time. Therefore, I will be sprucing up the front garden in between doing the porch area.
