An amazing charity shop find in Darwen today, only £7!! Sadly didn’t take a before pic but it just needed a good clean. The man in the shop said he thought it would never sell 🥰 he’d only took 50p all day then I rocked up & bought this, a lamp (which I’m going to copy an ikea hack) and a Blackburn Rovers cushion for Dezzy 🤣 £14 lighter & a very happy bunny 😍
