I have been very lucky in the thrifty stakes this week, but after another horrendous start to the day, I took myself and Miss 2 off for a little retail therapy to the local oppy, who happened to be reducing everything by half price or more....
Kiddy picnic basket which appealed to the Holly Hobbie-lover in me.
Little bakelite teacups to go in the picnic basket.
Wooden Bambi and Thumper puzzle
Another wooden puzzle (will be perfect for Miss 2's upcoming birthday!)
5 more vintage pillowcases!!So with $3 spent (I am NOT joking), we went to a little-visited gem that I rarely get to. Miss 2 was happy with her 'teaset', and proceded to have a tea party while I collected...
Another beautiful wooden puzzle,
Table-cloth for my rosey collection,
Beautifully embroidered pillowcase which will end up on my bed!
Vintage Norfolk Island tablecloth which will become a few shopping totes,
And yet another pillowcase, this one a lovely little koala on quality cotton! The pillowcase fairy has been wonderfully good to me lately. Since Kirsty's Week of Pillowcases, I have 32. The quilt needs 36, so nearly ready to commence!We celebrated with a fairy cake (there is such a thing as Too Much Cream!) and 'cinos.
Most happy with our purchases, we wandered home through the Autumn leaves, scuffing and singing.
Great pick-me-up, but I think the house is well past full. With enough to open a shop, I think etsy and I have a date...
