Thrift-a-Long

After doing the rounds of the opshops this week and being disappointed I was finally rewarded on Friday with some pretty china.

She has already lost a hand so I'm sure it wont hurt much when she loses her head.

This dear little boy looks very tired after all the peddling he has done.

Hope everyone else found treasure this week.

Pop over to Sue's for more thrifting.

I love  good old Agatha I can never guess who did what but there is always a nice neat ending and not too much blood and certainly no gore.

Also collected this week 2 cute tea pots and a pretty china mug.

I got very lucky at the oppie this week, a Grindley jug for only $1! and my favourite colour, green.

I also scored a pile of clothes to play with one day when there are a few more hours in the day.

Joining Sue, pop over and see her treasure.

The op shop goddess didn't smile upon me this week, no treats or treasures to be found.

Instead I thought I would show you what has happened with the tea pots that have been coming to live with me.

There is a narrow strip between our house, the fence and next door, it's gets no sun in winter and full sun in summer. I have planted succulents in the tea pots and if they get too hot I can always move them in summer.

There are a lot of brown and white tea pots in the world, just like buttons.

This weeks finds were very slim, but I do love this old jug and perfect for flowers.

Yes another tea pot

Sadly the op shops don't seem as much fun as they used to, a couple of dollars doesn't seem to buy much these days if anything at all.

 Perhaps I am getting old and grumpy!

Joining Sue this week, see what's taken over home!

Tea pot heaven this week.

This rather large coffee pot has made it into my collection this week.

I'm sure once it was full it would take 2 of you to pour it as it's heavy even when it's empty.

Joining Sue and Thrift-a-long, what treasure have you found this week?

I bought this dress at the oppie and although it was a tad large I loved the fabric and besides I'm dreaming of warmer weather.

The lace table cloth was a wedding present.... lace table cloths and place mats seemed to be the "in thing" way back then.

   

Joining Sue and waiting for some warm weather!

I can't claim I found these but they were gifted to me and they are fabulous!

There is even a giant cup and saucer.

Who would have thought of an underwater scene for a teapot!

Thank you Sue

My thrifting find this week was very exciting as these were freebies!

The oppie had a box with "pre-loved aprons, FREE" so I double checked with the grumpy lady and sure enough they were free so I bought home the lot along with a couple of other things I didn't need.

After sorting through the pile, yes a few were well and truly loved, but I couldn't resist them because the fabrics are so beautiful.

I have no idea what they will become, they're nice to pat!

I found this sweet "little" bird cage this week, and sadly it seems very small for a bird to live in.
