Inspired here by the lovely Lucy at Attic 24.
Useful for keeping everything in. I never knew how much I needed them until I made them!
Also note my copy of Mollie Makes (can't wait to have a cuppa and a flick-through) and some cute paper in the background. Am planning a new crafty makeover, just need to find the time (Ha! When?!).
Here's some recent charity shop finds, or 'funky junk', as I'm going to call it from now on. (Can't repeat what the Mr calls it. Think he's just glad I'm not buying expensive stuff from the high street)
First, some kitsch:
Sound the Owl-alert .... Just couldn't resist these owlish tea light holders:
A dear little deer, or should it be fawn? (photo not brilliant, sorry)
And a cute little vintage tea cup and saucer (found 2 of these and 3 little side plates too)
Not to stop there, I've also bagged myself some great additions to my teeeeeny, tiiiiny wardrobe of clothes. Really, I have NOTHING to wear. Well, I do now:
A gorgeous Fat Face shawl and Topshop mohair shrug:
Also a sweet cotton cardi- I love the neckline at the back!
The skirt is also a thrifted one- Boden, no less!
Well, am off now to have a glass of the red and a catch up with all your news.

I love your crocheted tin can covers - so pretty and colourful!
ReplyDeleteAlso, don't know how you manage to find such great clothes in the charity shops... I never find anything nice! They look lovely :o)

The tin covers are great!!! I think I will have to make a few. Can I tell you how jealous I am for the Boden skirt. I love all things Boden but find them very pricey to order from. Love the shrug and sweater, you found some great items.
ReplyDeleteHappy monday,

Now that i've seen the tin covers i have got to make some of those, might even do it at our wed morn womens craft brekkie, they're gorgeous. I agree with Maria at Dinki Dots how did you find such great clothes, the charity shops i shop in don't have pretty clothes like that & they look amazing on you :) Have a sweet day

Helloo, thank you for taking the time to visit my blog and becoming a follower. I'm loving what I see on your blog too. Crochet, bright colours and an awesome background.
ReplyDeleteWell I must say I love those owls you found 'cos I just love owls, You'll find posts about owls in my archives. When I get a moment, I'll be checking out your archives too.
You have some lovely thrifted clothing finds too. I love thrift shops or op. shops as we tend to call them downunder.

your crochet covers are so cute....I can knit but never got hooked on th hook...very impressive!!
ReplyDeleteAwesome tin can covers - you should totally sell those on Etsy!!
ReplyDeleteSweet! Those crocheted can covers are so irresistible to me. I'm thinking about doing some for the shampoo bottles and the gear shift lever in the car. What do you think? ;)
ReplyDeleteI love your tin can covers and the shrug is lovely.
ReplyDeleteI thought I'd show you a picture of my tea trolley. It looked awful before, but only cost me a £1 in the salvation army shop in Lancing (great shop!).
