I have recently (I know, late to the party) discovered Lush. I took Miss N there, last weekend and treated her to Sunny Side, a bath bomb, that has glitter in it (an 8 year olds dream) We also bought her a shower block of soap The Godmother, but we didn’t really have anything to rest it on in between her showers. So this weekend, I wandered around my local charity shops with her, on the off-chance we found some thing she liked.
We found this sweet dish, hand painted in Portugal:
Not sure if the number on the back is the year it was painted? It was 99p nothing really for something handcrafted!
Here it is with the soap on it, she’s really delighted. Feeling so grown up trying different products. I love the way the soap looks like it has fossils in it.
I also bought (well I couldn’t resist it), another dish. It’s Jersey pottery, which I have a soft spot for since I visited with Tall Dad earlier this year, and fell in love with the Island.
It was £1.99, we use liquid soup in the bathroom, but thought it would be good to use for a guest soap, what do you think?
So that was my magpie monday finds. If, my fellow magpies you have enjoyed this post then please follow me on bloglovin or subscribe! Here is the link to where you can find more treasure

Ahh thanks for your comment M. I’m really chuffed with them both. Didn’t really get the idea behind Lush up until now. Will be visiting again today!

I love both of these! The bath bomb is a great idea for birthday presents. I am hoping to get a few minutes in a charity shop today or it may be a #magpiemonday #fail for me 🙁

Lush is indeed Lush. I’m like the Bisto kid whenever I’m in a town with a Lush in it!
I adore the second dish, very unusual and beautiful.
Thanks for linking up x

I saw a box of soaps in a charity shop and they looked so ancient with the rise of liquid soaps. Reminded me that I always used to get bars of soap at Christmas!
