fresh finds.


happy monday all and hello monthly monday off! it's tainted a teeny bit by the sadness of mum and dad leaving. waving them goodbye this morning was a little heartbreaking, but knowing this is the last leg of their time in sf does comfort me. i thought i'd pop by with a few of last wednesday's finds that i picked up from one of my old time favourite opshops. so many memories of wandering the aisles with my bestie during uni when we should have been in rock art lectures. that place always delivers and i remember the joy of filling a basket with the then lesser known johnson and staffordshire potteries crockery. a little johnson find on wednesday sparked that memory and so did a few beautiful linen finds. my favourite of the day being a sanderson fabric cushion that is the EXACT same fabric as the couch suite in my childhood home. happy memories and a few squeals of excitement later and the treats were mine. i'm still waiting to hear back about my rummage registration but i am looking forward to sharing a few treats with you this sunday if all goes to plan. metre rolls of vintage wallpaper will be available for that day only so keep your eyes peeled. i hope you have a lovely week and that the sun is shining wherever you may be.

Oh devine! I love the little pot but my fave would be the pink and mint blanket... Gosh I hate the heart tugging feeling when saying goodbye to special people... Cant wait to see your treats on Sunday and I hope you have a lovely week too :-)

The sanderson cushion fabric looks very familiar but i can't place where from.
Pink and mint, such a perfect colour combo. x

Everything is so lovely! I especially love that pot! Thrift stores and rummage sales are the best place to find kitchenware.

Oooh , that blanket is just super yum! I found one in orange and pink this week. About this wallpaper, if you had any girly colours- pink/purple/green I would love to know as I have a project I am working on for miss Liongirl but not sure if I can get a leave pass to rummage! melx
