A plate, some cats and Pyrex.

Another slow week here in Hello Vintage thrift land. I had a quick thrift on the way to work on Thursday and again with the kids on Saturday morning but not much to be found. I had to drive right on by the garage sales Saturday morning as it was too hot and Master M is not keen on garage sales (whose child is this?? - lol). It has been ages since I have been 'sailing'.

Here are my Thursday finds:

This little platter plate is called 'Autum' by Woods and Sons England. Not what I would normally go for but I had gone past it a couple of weeks and this week it was calling to me. $4.50.

My first Pyrex with a holder. $4, no lid unfortunately but a really cute pattern don't you think?!

I saw there little salt and pepper cats coming out and I thought I might try and sell them as I am trying to get some money together...more about that below.

Finds for Saturday:

Mr M and I can't decide if our family is complete. At the moment I would say only a 20% chance of another baby. If I am having a warm fuzzy day with the family I think 'ahhh, maybe 40% chance'. If the kids are driving me bonkers it's more like a 5% chance. :) Even though this is the case I couldn't go past this vintage baby dress for $1.50. Once I got out of the dingy store I found a little stain that may or may not come off - doh!

I also picked up these shoes but I am not sure if I will keep the silver ones or not, they might have to be sold.

I am hoping to do some selling soon. Hmm, I have said this before but I have motivation this time. I am off to Melbourne for a four day/three night shopping trip in June. Yee ha! My sister, cousin and I have been on a similar trip twice before. The first time we went was before Master M was born and one when he was about two. Gosh I really missed him, I don't know how I will go this time. I think the kids will be fine though.

We do so much walking in Melbourne it is ridiculous. I will have to take a pedometer along so we can be in awe of our shopping stamina.

I am hoping to make some money instead of using our savings or dipping into other money. So here is the money raised so far. Ok, ok it's actually money that I got for Christmas. At least it's a start!

The week that was:

Not much to report this week but I had to put up this pic of Little Miss with a friends dog. I had to remind her to be gentle but 'Freckles' didn't seem to mind as she hung around anyway.

Have a fantastic week!
