Oh, a hunting we will go... ...bargain hunting that is!

Tali, Micah and I visited a second hand shop yesterday. Three whole stories of pre-loved goodies to peruse. What fun!!!

I was looking for a bookcase, which I didn't find, but we did find a few other things that caught our eye - well ok mostly mine, lol. I had a good look through the vintage linen, but nothing took my fancy.

Tali found this sweet little box (2 x 2 inches).

Pink and Purple Gems and pink glazing inside.

Suits her perfectly!

These are my finds...

This dear little tin has seen better days, but it'll be great in the sewing room.

Love the basket that kitty is sitting in!

The Bensen's Toffee tin is well loved, but that's part of its charm.

The Carmichael's Chips tin is a repro,

but it'll look sweet with the rest of my collection.

When we got back to car we realized that it had a hidden secret...

inside it was a Hague's Pretzels tin...

But wait...

there's more!

Inside that was a Radford's Roasted Nuts tin.

BONUS!!!!

Happy Blogging!

Treasure Hunting

Christine and I went treasure hunting recently.

I found some nice goodies. I love Op shops!

I almost always find a little something to add to my collection of treasures.

Some are seemingly unattractive on their own but they seem to work together.

From the Devonport Emporium:

Pressed Tin from shoestringchateau's store...

Small pink polka-dotted dish...

What an amazing place the Emporium is is!

I'll be going back!! :-)

I also found 2 lovely plates that the kids are going to give me for Christmas - so I'm not allowed to show you yet. lol (at least when you choose your own pressie you know you're gonna like it!)

Oh. I also found a gorgeous basket that I've forgotten to take a piccy of.

From the Devonport City Mission Store:

Jug..

Well loved ramekin that I've decided makes a rather nice candle holder...

Pretty Tablecloth...

Vinegar/oil jars...

and Bag from Vinnies. These fat 1/4's are from Wells' in Latrobe.

Milo came to check out what was going on

and ended up INSIDE the old BBQ!

What a wally! lol

Bits and Bobs

Here is Tali 'posing' with some of Auntie's things. She loves the camera - I'd rather be on the other side!

Here's a bear I made a few years ago - my first and only attempt. He has a bit of a hunch back and looks a little on the sad side, but he is loved. I've decided to make another one out of my late Pops Brown Cord Gardening Trousers. Maybe 'Old Blue' won't look so sad if he has a new buddy.

Here's my Flowerpot Angel with recycled brown card wings. She was made about the same time as the bear - I must've been going through a 'blue' stage - in fact I thinks I'm still in it. Love BLUE!

These are a few of my 'tin things'. Not sure why but I have a liking for old sifters and have recently decided to collect them. Mum's hidden hers because I keep telling her how much I like it.

Blessings,
