Dublin Flea Market – Sunday the 25th of September

Thrifty things – Belgian belle

I completely forgot about one of my best thrift finds until just the other day. I got this beaut in Brussels two years ago while we were InterRailing through mainland Europe. We came across a street thrift sale, and once I saw this dress I had to have it. The fabric falls very nicely and is a classic 70’s fitted dress. €10, somewhere in Brussels from a nice lady. 
Only within the past week have I dared to put it on. I was packing quite the spare tire which was only accentuated by this pattern. Yay to loosing weight!

Thrifty things – soup mugs

I started collecting these cute soup bowls when we were living in our first apartment. I found my first two {onion and mushroom} together in a charity shop, and ever since then, I’ve been finding the odd mug all over the country. I picked up my sixth mug yesterday and I now have a nice little collection. I’m particularly intrigued with the mulligatawny recipe which includes mutton, curry, parsnip, and other interesting combinations …
Onion and mushroom soup – €2 each at Gorta, scotch broth – €1 Mrs. Quin’s Shop, oxtail and tomato soup – €1 each again at Gorta, mulligatawny –  €1 from Vincents.
