Good Timing

I wandered into the 'Coffee and Jumble' this morning, knowing that it would mainly be the remnants of Friday and Saturday's Christmas Bazaar, but thought it would be nice to see what was what without loads of people pushing and shoving.  I went over to have a look at what was left of the toiletries and was most surprised to find loads of little sample-size items - mainly Lancome but some other good makes too.

 
I came away with 17 samples - some boxed and some not, but all unused - for 10p each, and a Bobbi Brown eye-shadow, also 10p.  Some are for me and some for re-sale on ebay.  I really wondered how I'd managed to miss them on Friday (or how other people has missed them too, come to that) when the 93-year-old lady who looks after that table told me that they'd only been brought in this morning.  And that the person who'd brought them in was really apologetic that they'd failed to get them to her in time for the Christmas Bazaar.  Never mind, the timing couldn't have been better for me, and I'm delighted with my finds.

I love to hoard mini samples! I store them in the guest bathroom and my guests of course love them :)
