rummage.


i'm back and you can find me and my cheap as chips goods at rummage this sunday. i've got a few creative things up my sleeve so this is going to be the last time my suitcases are filled solely with just pre-loved goodness. I'm going to get creating and lots of new treats will be available over the next few months. posted here first of course. think cross stitch, moustaches and pretty dinnerware and poetry. love. hope to see you sunday!

home sweet home.

testing out my new bag at chandler markets.

re-stocking my fridge with veges from the markets and tim tams for good measure.

washing sheets and clothes never felt so good.

i love my 'to do' lists.

3 pretty dresses purchased from said markets.

drinking starbucks in my starbucks mug and googling at pics from a favourite book.



it's good to be back.

big apple & more thrifty behaviour.

new york was perfection. mum & i spent all of our time walking, eating, sightseeing, thrifting and photographing. found a gem of a thrift store in greenwich village and had a ball wandering the streets taking photos in the sunshine. there was a salvos two streets away from our hotel, i snagged a few skirts there for my sister and i, photos soon! i'm back in sf now and spending my last week doing a little more thrifting and relaxing. the goodwill in san rafael was the best yet, a few of my finds can't be posted here due to the fact that they're presents for my darling readers. hope you're all having a ball, thrifting and baking and doing your thing. look forward to seeing what you've been up to this week. much love from sf. x

my vintage coral heels from the gem of a thrift store in greenwich village. they weren't too cheap but i love them so much.
went back to thrift town in sf, found these curtains!

more milk glass vases for my growing collection..the most expensive was 99 cents!!

a few new finds from the moma store in nyc. can't wait to play.

embroidered pillowcase & mushroom mug (only 50 cents!)

i could walk the streets of the village all day, everyday.
