It's the same in my part of UK to. I find ebay to be the best way of getting hold of anything decent. Although be careful as alot of it can be overpriced or not what they described. Hope this helps ladies and HI :-)

I tend to use mainly ebay and charity shops. I'm fairly lucky, living in the arse-end of Kent we have TONNES of charity shops :)

I went to Eastbourne with my nan once - the land of Eddie Izzard :)

Some of the nicest days I've ever had have been when I've strapped the littlest child into the buggy and equipped the eldest child with a load of shopping bags and we've gone trawling through charity shops together, they always get a toy and I always get something pretty, even if it's just beads! A lot of the time it's the luck of the draw, but sometimes, if you're really lucky, you'll find a proper treasure. But I enjoy the hunt more than anything. It helps if you have a vague idea of what you want in mind, but quite often it's the bits that you weren't expecting to find that can really make your day :) also, I've discovered that seeing as vintage and retro has been fashionable for a few seasons now, a lot of stock that I've seen in places like New Look and Peacocks are now turning up in charity shops, which is awesome for people like us!
