Charity shop find!

Post by Mallard »

I needed a briefcase as I seem to be the only person to put their name forward for allotment association secretary. I looked on flea-bay and they're not cheap, in fact the ones I like are now being snapped up as antiques by the Americans! yike*
So I did a tour of our charity shops, not expecting to find one. In the fourth, oxfam I found this for £4.50, I'm well chuffed! :-D
