Today is my daughters birthday and we took at little trip to Emmaus this morning for me to bargain hunt and Martha to eat cake in their bookshop cafe (Martha loves cake!). The lady in the cafe is always lovely and friendly and they possibly have the biggest portion sizes in the country! A coffee, Apple juice and shortbread came in at just £3.30 which is very good for this area and all the profits go to a fantastic organisation.
We had an amble round the shop but we didn't find anything on my 'to buy' list. We are buying all our family Christmas presents from charity shops this year so I have a long list. This has both a financial and ideological basis and is really fun!
However despite not finding anything on the list Martha picked up this lovely little Alessi egg cup and spoon and i found a brand new Traid Craft over mitt. A grand total of £1 was spent! The man on the till gave Martha the egg cup as it was her Birthday. We go into Emmaus regularly (at least once a fortnight sometimes more and i think they are getting to recognise us!) Mos of the furniture we have is from Emmaus and we are going to miss it so much when we move.
