David Hockney...drive thru doughnuts + 4 lamps...

SO - we went to Salts Mill the other day seeing that I'm a BIG fan of Mr David Hockney!


On the way home we stopped off for some drive thru Krispy Kreme doughnuts and a coffee...across the car park we notice the there was a store which sells end of line/imperfect stuff...

We bum rushed the doors...grabbed a trolly and ran in...ONLY - to find out its was mainly full of TAT!!!

BUT - hidden among the TAT where some nice things.

I sniffed out 4 lamps...
