A cute little dish, that I've seen a few times
but this time it came home with me.
I'm going to put it by my bed and put my earrings in it.
A basket, because you can NEVER have too many!
A game that I hope Reuben and I can play together.
A tea towel dated 1981.
We booked tickets to Melbourne in December for my brother's wedding.
Using this tea towel will remind me of our up-coming trip.
Thirty one years old, kept for best I imagine,
it's going to get a lot of use in our house!! Always a few dishes here.
I also got a bolt of beautiful old flannelette for quilt backs and what have you,
lovely and soft and won't rub up like modern stuff. $15 the whole bolt. Nice.
I also found a lovely metal tray which will make a lovely memo board.
I got this one for Nin if she wants it, otherwise Reuben will be happy with it.
And last by not least a nice bright tablecloth for the kitchen table.
Weird how my thrifty finds are colour co-ordinated today!!
Amazing how many good things you can find in a quick trip to
the City Mission.
score - I am so jealous of PIT I really want a copy of that game it's heaps of fun and VERY loud!
ReplyDeleteWell done, which City Mission store was that? I'm particularly jealous of the flannelette; been looking for something to back the quilt I'm cutting out atm, just ordered some as I couldn't find what I wanted.
ReplyDeleteohh that flannelette is pretty! I have been to the op shop in ages - I just haven't found a good one here
ReplyDeleteLoads of great finds there Deb!
ReplyDeleteEspecially loving the basket (i got 2 today!) and the tablecloth.xx
I love a good calender tea towel, and your one is a beauty.
ReplyDeleteAnd a great tablecloth. x
oh wow that is a lovely tablecloth. i would love to go shopping or flea marketing with you and just hope that your luck would rub off on me so i could find such amazing things
ReplyDeleteLovely.... all of it lovely. You are quite good at shopping aren't you?
ReplyDeletegreat finds, deb! i especially love that tablecloth. :)
ReplyDeleteMy mum used to buy tea towel calendars and glue them to wood, top and bottom, with a string at the top so you could hang it in the kitchen. (She used to stain the wood to match a colour in the calendar.) She sold them to help supplement the christmas club money.
ReplyDeleteAnd the tray has a pic of Neuschwanstein in Bavaria - that fairy tale castle.
My family loves PIT. It is simple and oh so fun. You will have more fun the more people playing, but it gets loud.
ReplyDeleteSeriously, $15 for the whole bolt? I am gonna try real hard not to be jealous!

Blessings!
