We went shopping today, not the normal run of the mill crowd shopping but the leisurely thrift store op shop shopping-what a lovely way to spend a Saturday morning….
Well look at the first book and not a page had been turned my shopping partner found it and for a nice price of $4…the second book is fantastic it’s from 1965 and has real understandable instructions for heaps of embroidery stitches-just what I need.
Lovely fabric finds this lot totalled $3.50 the fish print (1 metre)is a beautiful Japan print ,next is some lovely kiddie cotton (2 metre) and then 1 metre of calico..and last bit is beautiful..close up pic below.And the wooden hanger cause I love that style and the wee plastic bag has 6 wooden buttons in it
This fabric is a real soft pink colour with the beautiful flowers on it-heck knows what I will use it for but golly it’s nice I couldna leave it there eh?
And look at this solid timber and like hey I know it’s blue but I could not leave it it was screaming at me buy me buy me..And so I did for the sum of
see the top is a removable lid , and my stitchery fits in there perfect..not sure what I will pop in the front yet, but hey for $10 I’m not fussed…
Oh yes and my shopping partner was my dear hubby-what a man eh-and yep he got him self some gadgetty things too..

Oh, how pretty - sounds like you had a fun day :-)
Great shopping buys Vickie, I can't wait to see what you do to that little cupboard. Sounds like a trip to the hardware store for some paint etc. Love the quilt you finished in the post above. Happy days.
