I can't believe how long it's been since I have been here. I will have to check out if my favourite Bloggers are still around!
I just wanted to share some pics from yesterday. A friend and I went to check out 'Z Ward' which was as the plans show 'Park Side Lunatic Asylum: Refractory Criminal Ward'. This is in Adelaide, South Australia. Apparently it was originally named 'L' wardHello Vintagehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/17778709699719759088noreply@blogger.com2tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7971333725203107023.post-35587908787008676992013-05-12T14:16:00.001+09:302013-05-12T14:16:23.668+09:30Ducks, cake and rabbits on Mother's Day

Some cute art work from my kidlets.
Here are some of my recent finds.
I was excited to see this is the plastics sections of the op shop for $2.50!! This was in the op shop that I NEVER find anything. On the same visit I found a cute casual dress that has now become one of my favourites.
There were quite a few of these to choose Hello Vintagehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/17778709699719759088noreply@blogger.com8tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7971333725203107023.post-51874394880084773962013-02-16T23:23:00.001+10:302013-02-16T23:33:42.989+10:30Amazing orange sky!
We had some very strange weather last night. We had a storm warning but didn't get much of a storm. It would have been great to get a little rain as our tank is nearly empty and we will very soon have to buy water which is expensive and STINKY! Yuck! I have not edited these two photos (apart from the border).

We decided to go for a drive a few weekends ago a bit late in the day but we did find some garage sales and junk shops. Mr M bought the radios and the phone and I bought the rest. I love the clock but unfortunately I was just about to say to Mr M should I help carry something when he DROPPED IT ON THE GROUND because he had too much in his hands at once!! AHHH!

Took some more photos of my groovy caravan yesterday. The curtains are in pretty good condition apart from one that is slightly torn.

Today I decided to stay home for a change and loved it! The fact that it is about 9 degrees outside probably helped my decision (brrr). I think I should stay home more often.

I have really been slack with my blogging lately. I think part of the problem is that when I put together an entry I tend to spend an hour or so on it.

Unlike last year we had a quiet day and didn't organise anything in particular. Our Anniversary fell on a Saturday this year (the same day we were married) and the weather was almost exactly the same as the big day 11 years ago.
This is what Mr M did on our Anniversary. Made this...

Hi All! Well I haven't posted much lately as I have had little luck with thrifting. I think the only things I have picked up have been the
rocking horse below and some retro buttons. I actually worked on a Saturday
and was so excited thinking I would get up early and go to some garage
sales on the way (sans kids). Can you believe there was only one garage sale to be found! Hang on there

Wasn't feeling the blogging vibe last week but have had a few finds to share from the last two weeks.
The other day I took an unwanted painting from our office to our on site op shop, the volunteer managed to take out some breakables with the back end of it when he did a quick turn. Whoops! Lucky it was just some ugly hand made cherubs, but I did feel sorry for him (he felt terrible).&Hello Vintagehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/17778709699719759088noreply@blogger.com18tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7971333725203107023.post-37429693306137834922012-02-05T19:47:00.006+10:302012-02-05T22:30:22.059+10:30More finds here than I thought I had!I have been waiting for a particular Lions Club op shed to re-open as it has been closed since Christmas.

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.
