Treasures

I was inspired the other day after reading some other blogs, to find some vintage fabric. To make something. Not sure what yet.

So, a trip to Salvos {my happy place} was on the cards.

I was lucky enough to have my sister pop over for a few hours, so I left her with the babes and ducked out.  Signs greeted me at the door that indicated that there would be a 50% sale off everything tomorrow…what!! Is there anything better!?!
Needless to say that trip became a reconnaissance mission, scoping out the bargains to come back the next day.

And so off we went. No car today so packed up the pram for the 20min walk there and back. 
(Justified the spending as technically it constituted my exercise too!).

Here’s some of the treasure we found…

Vintage pillowcases
Will post more on this soon...

Have a weakness for cute crystal things

Great big rolling pin!

A vast array of 'Sprout' girls clothes in great condition





Beautiful prints for Miss R's room


























Some new toys & books for H-bomb

More frames to do some wall art for Miss R's room
H-bomb pretty pumped with the stash!

What a great trip. Well worth the walk up the massive hill on the way home with a very loaded up pram!
