Charity Shops & Car Boot Sales

Toys and other things I find in charity shops and at carboot sales. Much of what I buy will eventually make it into my online shop, but some is for keeps!

Bertie & Henry’s Magical Gay Life

It’s been a long while since I’ve written a blog about the random items I find in charity shops. I buy so much these days for resale, that the things I buy for myself have become rather (and literally) lost in the pile. Today’s find offered the most excellent opportunity to start again, as everything I bought was for me. And what a random selection presented itself!

Cute Figures For Sale

Cute figure finds for resale include Animal Jam, Bananas, Barbie, Ben and Holly’s Little Kingdom, Chubby Puppies, Crayola, Disney Princess, Fables, Fingerlings, Frozen, Hello Kitty, In The Night Garden, Lalaloopsy, Land of The Dragons, Littlest Pet Shop, M&Ms, Mr Chimney Pot, Pinypon, Polly Pocket, Postman Pat, Puppy In My Pocket, Ralph Breaks The Internet, Scooby Doo, Tangled, The Incredibles, Tiny Blessings, Tom & Jerry and Trolls.

Plush Toys For Sale

Plush toys for resale include Snow White & The Seven Dwarfs, Teletubbies, Pokemon, King Kong, Rainbocorn, Care Bears, Vampirina, Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles, Rupert the Bear, Spiderman, Goofy, Postman Pat, Winnie the Pooh, Tweenies, Minnie Mouse, Build-a-Bear, Puppy Surprise, Pikmi Pops and Lady & The Tramp.

Return Of The Frizzy Troll

I found an interesting selection of plush toys and books recently, including some more Frizzys (which I love), three Raymond Briggs books and a vintage Star Wars sticker album. I’m rather taken by Bear In The Big Blue House, who “cha cha’s”, probably because it’s by Jim Henson.

Design A Cabbage Princess

Before the Charity Shops shut up once again for Tier 4 Lockdown here, I found a lovely selection of dolls for resale including four vintage ARI dolls, Baby Born, three Barbie’s, Cabbage Patch Kids, DesignaFriend, four Disney Princess dolls, Lalaloopsy and Our Generation.

Windy Pooh Patrol

I found a nice selection of plush toys for resale (as well as a few for myself), including Bob The Builder, Charlie Bears, Crayola, Krypto The Superdog, Martinair Holland, Monsters Inc., Mr Men, Noddy, Paw Patrol, Star Wars, Toy Story, Teenie Beanies and Winnie The Pooh.

The Mighty Iron Pig

Figure finds from later December included Fingerlings, Go Go’s Crazy Bones, Hello Kitty, Joustra, Lalaloopsy, Marvel, DC Comics, Masked Rider, Mighty Max, Moshi Monsters, My Little Pony, Palace Pets, Peppa Pig, PJ Masks, Puppy In My Pocket, Smooshees, Trolls and Twosies.

Dr Fabuloopsy

Figures found this month so far included three Doctor Who figures to add to my collection, Fabuland (also for me), Lalaloopsy (me too!), Minecraft, Paw Patrol, Scooby Doo, Smart Dog, Smiggle (for me again), Soldier Force, Timmy Time, Top Wing, Trolls and Yo-Kai Watch. I also found five very well loved Ladybird books!
