Sainsburys - A treasure trove of trinkets?

I went in to Sainsburys recently for milk and therefore came out with loads of bits and bobs that I don't *really* need, as you do.

    

I bought a pretty grey storage box for £3 ish, it was half price and I thought it would maybe store a few nail polishes.  A n A5 notebook for my Gramma, it helps her remember what she has been upto during the day and what visitors she has, if we write it down for her.  Also, some owl earrings.

Turns out the box is a good height for nail polish! So I got to sortin'...

59 Bottles of O.P.I in a box, 59 Bottles of O.P.I...

I was a bit disappointed they don't fit in as securely as I'd like but 'the boy' had a genius idea of getting some foam type stuff from the likes of Hobbycraft and creating a wee mould - Genius!

I don't usually wear earrings or most jewellery in fact as I used to get terrible rashes as a child from the costume jewellery I would insist upon wearing but these little fellas claim to be hypoallergenic so for £2.50, I thought I could give them a good home.  I think these were also covered by the 25% off clothing deal that sainsburys seem to run every couple of months.

Tu Glass heart trinket box £6 

The only thing I can find a link to on the website is this cute little trinket box, Sainsburys really do have some cutesy accessories just now.  I thought this would be great for storing cotton wool balls or hair bobbles in but 'the boy' decided he was going to store his peanut butter m&m's in it instead!  I bought two of these and gave one to my mum as she just bought herself a wee dressing table for her room. I think these were also 1/3 off or thereabouts. 

Supermarkets are really coming up trumps when it comes to providing you with everything you need to make your home homey.

Asda do some great bedding, home furnishings, storage boxes and clothes too, whereas I think sainsburys do better stationary and home storage/accessory/furnishings.

Do you find yourself buying more than just a loaf of bread at the shops nowadays?

Do you have any favourite trinkets you found where you didn't expect too?

Shiny things

The other week I got it into my head I wanted some jewellery.  I don't have a lot of jewellery and most of what I do have is cheap and cheerful stuff which I don't mind as it's usually pretty interchangeable.

I was picking up some trousers from houseoffraser.com and just so happened to go in past river island.  I had never given their jewellery range much thought but that has all changed!!

Leaf detail thumb ring, Triangle finger top rings, heart bracelet, owl bracelet

The finger tip rings are a size L but they don't fit my fingers very well.  I might try ASOS curve for a better fit although I have never had problems with rings before.

I have a confession with this ring, I had originally thought it was hearts but then got it home to discover it was a leaf pattern?! I don't know what that was all about, it's nice though and it was only £2.

And the bracelets are just cute, dinky things!  I love them and they work with loads of different outfits.

Have you tried River island jewellery before?

Whats your verdict of finger tip rings?

Hugs,

Jodi
