Error. Not dahlia, it's a chrysanth.

I have bought in Poundland but it's choc-a-bloc, noisy and has lots of tat but tbf, has some good bargains.

Second-hand book shops!

I like a good mooch in Homesense

I'm hopeless for wool shops and wool festivals. I can spend a fortune on beautiful yarn, but I justify it by thinking that I am buying clothes to wear as well as spending on my hobby.

Charity shops. Not only do I like a bargain but I can feel I am doing something for the environment as well.

Book shops, particularly small ones with old books. Get me in there and you'll have difficulty getting me out.

Homesense is financial suicide for me. If I don't succumb in their bedding or towering dept, I fail miserably in the soaps and bath products and I end up spending £££££s. Their kitchen dept never fails to have something that I just can't live without. Love that store!

Bakers and Larners in Holt (Norfolk) is a particular favourite of mine whenever I'm in that neck of the woods. I can spend ages browsing around, and yes I usually end up buying !

I haven't been that often but I love the little gift shops and boutiques in Brighton. I always make sure I have an empty piece of hand luggage just in case....
Artisan food stalls in markets. Impossible not to buy something.

Oh yes as everyone says bookshops! I love the NT ones.

Oh dear, Gabriella, I'm hooked!

I'm getting my Christmas presents from that shop! (The one in original post)

Those mouse lamps are sweet!

Lovely shop GabriellaG54 although a bit pricey. But I can understand the temptation to buy. I wonder will they deliver to NI.

Antique markets for me, hard to resist. And I used to live close to Portobello Road!

Antique centres. Lots of lovely stuff and you'd be amazed at how cheap some things are. I'm sure there's no VAT on any of it.

I don't like shops but outdoor markets of all types are my favourites. I can spot something and be compelled to buy it, especially if it's a plant!

Our local religious shop is a favourite of mine, as is the second hand bookstore, and the craft store Michael's. Sometimes I have to remind myself that I'm not allowed to buy out the store

We have a fantastic emporium near us, where sellers can rent a glass cabinet to display their wares. Books, records, photographs and paintings, antiques, vintage clothing and ornaments, handcrafted jewellery, accessories and gifts as far as the eye can see. I could spend hours, and a fortune, in there. I’m going back tomorrow to buy some earrings with Lowry scenes on that I resisted last week.

Sorry to be boring, but it’s book shops for me too.

GabriellaG54, just my sort of shop, may be "finger shopping" this afternoon.......I know I need something, just not sure what it is ???
