My sister has been living in the same area for about seven years, so has had plenty of time to seek out these beauties. We just turn up a couple of times a year to reap the rewards of her hard work!<br /><br />Funny you should ask what the French for charity shops is, as I had originally planned to title this post "What is the French for charity shop?"
