2nd Hand Happiness!

If you've read this blog before, you'll know by now that my favourite past time is rummaging through all my local 2nd hand shops, I see nothing wrong with owning someone else's belongs, especially if you can get them for a fraction of the price. Like The Works of Chris Cunningham, which I picked up for €3, that would be 1/11 of what was originally paid for it. Same with the Flight of the Conchords. And 3 really interesting looking frames, too my total to ten euro. Not bad, if I do say so myself. Now all I need to do is find some great images to put in the frames, and Im all set.

What Goes around...

Comes around... No, I'm not talking karma, but fashion!

Oh yes, On Thursday my friends Pa, Stephen, Jenny and I hit up every Second Hand/ Charity Shop in Ennis and I found quite a lot of treasure...

This T-shirt was so silly, but buying a Paris Hilton T-shirt to wear ironically was one hipster step too far for me...


If I had a working VCR player, this Spice Girls tape would have been mine, I know I had a Spice Girls tape when I was younger, with UNAUTHORISED written across its cover too, but I'm unsure if it was the same... And yes, I was a fabulous child, incase you were wondering!

So here was I ended up with after our day of rummageing, all this for ten Euro...

The denim Ralph Lauren shirt was six euro, Bring It On set me back another two euro, and the two books, A Short History of Tractors in Ukrainian & We Need to Talk About Kevin, were a euro each...

And thats why I love second hand, charity, vintage shops, call them what you will, if you are willing to get over the fact that someone else owned them, there is plenty of Treasure to be found, and all for a bargain too...

Recommended Ennis Second Hand: The Somalia Shop, Parnell St CarPark. Mrs Quinns, O'Connell St, and Enable Ireland, Parnell St.
