Magpie Monday - thrifting from your parents..

I've not made it to a charity shop recently, but I did have a rummage around in my parents garage, through some of their piles and piles of "stuff" and found two gems.. so, I'm not entirely sure if this counts, but they are unwanted items that are now going to be used and loved again!

First of all, I found this scarf of my Mum's from the '70s.  The print jumped out at me, it's exactly the kind of thing I go for!! It smells musty and despite a good wash, I've not fully for rid of the smell yet, so I've shoved it in with a box of bath bombs and soap from Lush in the hope that that will do the trick!

The other "thing" I found was a gorgeous and practical bag that belonged to my maternal Grandma.  I am guessing it's probably from the '70s as well and I suspect it was used as a beach bag (let's just say I found a load of sand inside it!).  I'll use it for the same I think, it has that "beach bag" feel to it.  Plus, it's a good size and has a smaller front pocket for all those small beach items (suncream, lip balm etc..).  What do you think?  Stripes are always in!

I'm linking this blog post up with Missie Lizzie for her wonderful "Magpie Monday" linky.  Do visit her blog, not only is she the host of Magpie Monday, she also does some amazing crafts!
