.... and I'm always on the look out for little trinkets to add to my stash of potential presents. I found something interesting on a recent shopping trip which caught my eye; they were so colourful I couldn't resist them.
These cockerels were in a dusty bargain bin, reduced to 50p each because the packaging had disintegrated and all the magnets on the backs had fallen off - no problem. Back home, a quick wash in hot soapy water, clean off the dried glue, then fix new magnets with epoxy glue. Ta-da! They are quite big, too, so they will be an eye-catching addition to any boring old kitchen appliance!
Don't you love the sad looks you get from the shop assistants when you plonk your purchases down at the till - who, in their right mind, would buy four plastic chickens that don't actually do anything? Hmm, round one to me, I think!
good find! I love bargain hunting!! x
