pulling my head in.

my new pea green recliner. love. it. (worth the drive and trying to fit it in the getz...ended up having to tie the boot down!)

large tablecloth. (rummage)

floral sheet (rummage)

large floral tablecloth (rummage)

yellow rose tablecloth (rummage)

owl latch hook (rummage)

rose doilies (rummage)

delicious doilies. (for me)

trio of embroidered doilies.


so i've come to the realisation that all this opping has to stop, at least for a while. I have a US trip to fund in september and my savings aren't getting any bigger. I keep reminding myself that there are plenty of treats over there and to just pull my head in for a while as i'm going to see many lovely things that i'll want. this is my last little indulgence for now. any other pics i post will be from my own collection! ok, you better hold me to this so go spoil yourselves on my behalf. Also, i have rummage on the 8th and there are SO MANY treats ready to go. i think i'll go price and pack them, that should hold me off for at least a week.

Hi Laura...I think you will love the op shops in the US...if they are anything like Canada. I haven't found many nice old fabric anythings but other stuff is here in abundance...I love the pink tablecloth...might ask Trudes to buy it for me if poss....xxoo

You forgot to mention the beauty you bought (for someone else) only recently.

I love it, it's sitting proudly on window sill, now I just need some ridiculously flamboyant flowers to put in it!

I always love your finds, but I agree - I think you should save for the U.S. and curb your spending here unless you see something really fab!! Just keep thinking about those op shops abroad .... what an adventure! Have a great weekend. Michelle
