My dear friend The Lovely Karen gave me a little dish the other day (hubby thinks it's an ash-tray, but I KNOW there were no ash-trays in the range!!) It sits near my computer, and is a kind of coaster for the ever-present cuppa. Thanks Karen!
Moving some things around, looking for the old pillowcase which I KNOW is here somewhere, I just found my 1981 Strawberry Shortcake and Lemon Meringue Pie figurines, and they STILL have their smells! Anyone collect these? I also had the Strawberry Shortcake doll - it may have been passed on to someone else over the last 27 years!
My friend Marissa had most of the dolls, and I often wonder if her family kept the collection!But the find of the weekend is.....
Voila! Single bed doona cover, in perfect condition! Lovely, lovely, lovely.
$3 at Salvos, hardly used. There are a pair on a collectibles site from the US for $50 I have had my eye on, so I am thrilled. I can't wait for Miss 2 to move from cot to bed!!

Even the colours are still perfect in that doona cover. That is amazing.
Gosh, I get capitals. I've never been called The Lovely Karen before (well apart from a previous blog entry). I'm more chuffed than the whole Isle of Sodor crew.
Thank you Beautiful Jess. I'm so glad the plate when to a good home.
Oh my, my heart skipped a beat when I saw those 2 pretty ladies. They really are fabulous. I secretly search everywhere for them and hope my hubby doesnt find out about the other little purchases I have made over time. I just have to start incorporating them one at a time :)
Cheers Kyla
