Great bags! I remember being given a lovely wedding present & they said 'it's not second hand, you know'...I was a little dissapointed ;)

I agree, there are some lovely bargains at the moment. A number of my presents are charity shop finds, but I must say I am impressed with yours. Problem is I bought one son quite an expensive book from Alresford and I bet he thinks it is a bargain find and I am scrooge.
