opshops, reindeer & a pear.

good afternoon! went for my first official bike ride this morning with trudy over to stevo's opshop. got a couple of treats and caught up with my girls. i am so glad that i enjoy riding my bike as much as i thought i would. i haven't ridden a bike since i was 16 or so. i'm in love all over again. here are a few treats i picked up yesterday whilst opping with mama and a little something that arrived in the mail...just perfect. hope you're all having a great saturday.

bought a pack of these reindeer...they're quite large and oh so cute to decorate the house with.
mr squirrel. totally cheeky.

a yummy retro tablecloth that reminds me of brigit riley. best of both worlds.

a lovely johnson mug. think i may re-create this design in an artwork.

a petal plate, the mug and a double brass heart frame. calling out for a cross-stitch.

2 single floral flannelette sheets, perfect condition and orange. love.

look what i got in the mail...the wrapping is almost as delightful as what is inside!
my new cushion addition! it's so beautiful i can't stop looking at it. thank you so much melinda.

treasure hunting.

mum and i popped out this afternoon for a spot of treasure hunting. had to show her my favourite place and managed to pick up some delights. she themed her finds...vintage australiana & christmas..which meant awesome coasters, placemats, teatowel, and christmas bell. bless. $10 she snagged them for. i spent a liiiitttttle more than that. treasures feature below. happy weekend!


floral teatowel. that background colour makes me so happy.

large and small willow tins. roses are delightful.

candy coloured curtains, perfect.

stack of vintage fabrics. yum!

retro napkin, love those colours.

upholstery fabric.

retro cabinet handles.

owls and bunnies, to be featured in new works.
a set of 6 'love is' glasses. mum and dad used to post the 'love is' paper cuttings to each other as love notes in the 70's. double bless.

we holiday in the spaces of our home.


if you haven't grabbed this beauty yet, then hop to it. i freaked out thinking it would be sold out everywhere and then i come home to this lovely sitting on my bed. yippee! thanks mama. off to wander a few oppies with her now. hope to post a few finds later on before i head to the twilight markets in the city. can't wait to see what moose and bird has on offer! happy friday. x
