'Magpie Monday' is a fantastic way of showing off your secondhand finds to like-minded magpies! It's been started up by Miss Lizzie of Me And My Shadow:
"The idea is simple. If you have purchased something 2nd-hand, whether it be from a charity shop; car boot sale; eBay or whatever, then I'd love you to write a short post on your blog and link up."
So for my first MM post I'd thought I'd show you three gorgeous timepieces I've bought in charity shops. As you can see my taste includes tasteful Mid Century Modern and so-bad-it's-good kitsch!
The heart-shaped wall clock (with gold plastic peacock and fabric flowers!) was £2, as was the beige mantel clock, and I blew a whole £3 on the beautiful turquoise travel clock.

OMG my husband and I were astounded to see your heart clock purchase as we couldn't believe they actually made more than one of those things! http://christeaandcakes.blogspot.com/2010/12/chic-or-shit-heart-clock.html
