Nice

Thrift

The purse strings are rather tight at the moment, well tighter than our normal tight anyway.

No opp shopping for me..

Well not until I finally cleaned my dresser of clothes the other day & found a little white envelope with $15 bucks, (soap I had sold a while back & completely forgotten about!) So with money burning a hole in my pocket, we loaded Ginny into the pram and wandered off to the Feilding farmers market in the sun...yes THE SUN!!!

Whilst wandering  around I could not resist a little peep in the salvos. Lucky for me it was one of those little magic opp shop days.....

 Some nice cooking apples...free from Pop

 Vintage linen baby sheets

I can NEVER resist these old Agee jars.

 Some good old Crown Lynn bowls and the coolest tiny potty I've ever seen

Snakes & ladders anyone?

$1 reserves on trade me! Yep $1

Cosy

I was reading through Rosemary McLeod's book 'thrift to fantasy'

Drooling over the beautiful images when I came across a huge crochet granny blanket. Suddenly I remembered a beautiful blanket that was given to me 'yonks ago'. It had needed mending & I had lent it to a girlfriend to fix as I'm hopeless at crochet...2 years ago! To cut to the point we both forgot about it until Rosemary brought it all back! I love this blanket as it is huge, woollen & it fits over our queen bed just right.

So...yes..mending is a priority seeing as we have just had the first heavy frost of the year

mmmmmm woolly blankets, pikelets and big pots of tea xx

Hope your all hibernating in comfort

Teeth?

Teeth? Well I hope my new found cracked nipples aren't suffering for nothing!!!

Goodies

I scored two of these beswick babies from the salvos the other day. $2.00 thank you! They are my new favourites. I have never come across a coffee cup size with a saucer, friendly bloggers please educate me on the history of these???

P.S: Can one of my ever helpful & all amazing bloggy readers please help me with a computer literacy query......How do I 'glue' several pics together to make a new header for my blog? Yes I know it must be super simple, but well....you know?
