Funky fabrics, pyrex and a first.

Hi all! Long time no see. I have been popping in and out of your blogs but have not visited as many as I would have liked to. Haven't done much in the way of thrifting lately just a couple of visits to my favourite op shops. Seems like things have been very busy around here.  I have been still been listing on eBay trying to make some dosh for our Melbourne Trip. I will have to start getting into the shed so I can find some more goodies to sell. I have made over $500 so far and this is just listing about three things a week so pretty happy with that.

 Here are some fabrics I found last week on my way to work. I am so bad, any time without kids is when I op but I am always later to work than I probably should be (luckily we are on flexi time). It does bite me on the bum though when I am still at work at it's dark. I seem to be hoarding fabric and have never actually sold any and don't think I will. I am still hoping to learn some simple sewing one of these days. My Mum started giving my friend and I lessons but it fizzled out. Might have to start them up again.





I was going to try not to add to my Pyrex collection unless I found something really special but when I came across this dish for $2.50 it had to be mine because I can't pass up a bargain.





And this one had the stand which I don't have any of so it had to come home with me too!





Well, that's a not much is it! I have sold the Arabia plate from my last post and all of the Villeroy and Boch. The coffee pot did quite well, I got a bit excited when I saw the ending price!

The month that was:

Three weeks ago we were at the beach. Tonight we have a fire going, brrr. Since Picnik has closed I am looking for another site to put together collages so here are just a couple family pics.

Little Miss had her first hair cut this week. My cousin is a hair dresser and she cuts my hair but I don't normally bother her with the kids. However Little Miss just needed a cut across the back so I asked her. Excuse the dummy she was a little unsure about it all and so I thought it may help. She nearly cried at the end but compared to Master M's first cut it went well. She is looking a little worried in this one. Deer caught in the head lights?





 Master M and Little Miss were invited to a pirate and princess party last weekend. Every time Little Miss puts on her crown she say 'arrrr', like a pirate. Hmmm, I think she might be a little confused. :)


Linking in with Her Library Adventures - Flea Market Finds


Have a fantastic weekend!

  3. That Pyrex food warmer is a dilly! Lucky you to find a unique treasure with all the pieces! And about those two little cuties: #1 Wouldn't you look like that if someone came at you with a scissors when Mama always says, "No No!" when you look at one? #2 Arggg!

  6. I'm hoarding fabric too :) I make handbags, but I really want to learn to make clothes. I have patterns and sewing books, now all I have to do is take the plunge and try something.

  8. "Arrrr"...I love that pyrex with the stand! I don't recognize the pattern of either piece, makes me wonder if the world gets different patterns for different continents...anybody know?
    PS - Your children are very cute! (I know you know that already!)

  9. You couldn't possibly pass up on Pyrex with a stand :-) Even if you don't love the pattern that came with it you can always slot in another casserole. Your little girl has the most beautiful hair ever!
