Hello again

A very belated Happy New Year dear readers and a warm welcome to some new faces as well.

There's been lots going on here, I'll do a bit of a catch up post soon. In the mean time here are a few of my most recent flea market / op shop finds. Some thing lite and easy to get me in the blogging mood again.



More vintage sheets. You know a girl can never have too many of these, well that's what I tell myself anyway!



Two never been used vintage pillow cases and a baby wrap to make into not-paper towels


A plastic coated apron for soap making (love Snoopy), nut roll tin, woollen blanket to use for a quilt back, cute Holly Hobbie trinket box and a vintage toy pattern booklet.


Are you an op/thrift shop addict like myself, found any bargains lately?

Bye for now

Lisa

Love your finds - especially the vintage sheets and pillow cases - so homey and cheery :) I am a very dedicated Goodwiller - I find fabulous, unique stuff all the time. It's addictive!

Snoopy and Holly Hobbie! Bliss.

I agree Jane, op shopping is a bit too addictive!

Bliss indeed Rose, two of my childhood favorites Peanuts and Holly Hobbie :)

Hi Kel, thanks for visiting. Yes I'll be sending in some of those sheets. Can't wait...now to think of a few things to make with all that vintage fabric.

Hey Lisa...good to see you back..I'm slowly making my way back too....
I love the vintage fabrics...your second photo; the purple fabrics...reminds me of a vintage single sheet I found in an op-shop..still in the original packaging too...The brand is 'Royal', and the price on it is $3.98....I just can't bring myself to open the packet to use the fabric.

Hi Narelle lovely to see you :)
I have a sheet in the same design except in a blue colour way. Fancy finding one still in the packet. I'd have a hard time cutting it up too.

Hi Lisa,

Have tried emailing you about the swap but for some reason your email bounced back. Could you pop over to my blog and leave your email address again... sorry! Have a great australia day :)
