More 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. My Sister-in-law told me it had HEAPS of stock this time last year on it's first day back. Expectations were high. My sister and I got up early and got to the shed on opening (which was amazing since it was rush hour traffic and took a ridiculous amount of time to get there). I had the squids with me so I had the pram. I tried to keep it out of the way of the bargain hunters but I got so many dirty looks anyway (sad face). Made me wish I wasn't a nice person because then I could just bowl them over! I must say though that before I was a mum prams used to frustrate me - lol. Thrifters had jumped on all the best stuff by the time I had navigated the first aisle. Isn't it frustrating when you see really cool stuff out of the door! It was fun anyway and at least most of my money stayed in my pocket! Here is what I bought.

Excuse this pic, I forgot I had bought this so I have only just taken a pic and needed a flash. I said in another post 'what is it with me and chairs' well I am also wondering 'what is it with me and foot stools'. I now have a pouffe, this stool and another that I picked up late last year that I have not posted here yet. This was $6.

The top plate is a Johnson Bros and the bottom Royal Staffordshire, pretty don't you think? Only a dollar or so each. Not sure what is going on my my pics turning themselves sideways!

Loving these two finds. Sheffield Pearlcraft bread knife and glass jug for $5 all up.

I think the jug deserves a photo on it's own. Love the pattern.

I found these lids for my Pyrex for $1 each.

$2 for this bright Agee Pyrex.

Westminster Australia $1 .

Other finds this week from the Salvos (a bit over priced).

Alfred Meakin bowl. Gorgeous but more than I should have paid (there was just something about it that made me do it).

I have said in the past that I am not a fan of milk glass but I really like this shape ($2).

This looks like Pyrex but is not marked on the bottom. Has anyone seen this pattern before?

The week that was:

For the last week and a half I have listed on eBay which I haven't done for a while. I did quite well on a couple of things so my Melbourne shopping trip goal is getting closer. I won't be getting any op shopping done in Melbourne which is a pity but is probably for the best! Just waiting on confirmation of dates now, getting excited...

Linking in with Her Library Adventures. Have a fantastic week.

Pretty Funky!

I hope everyone has had a wonderful relaxing weekend. Thought this it was about time that I show you some of my recent finds. 

 These are keepers. Picked them up for $1.50. Does anyone know what they are? Some kind of alcohol related glass ware? I am going to use them as bud vases. Master M often picks me a weed lovely flower from the garden (so sweet) and one of these would be the perfect.

These vintage sheets are all NEW!! I probably should sell them but I think I will hang onto them for now. One even had the original packaging below:

A picture can tell a thousand words. What do you think? Top pic is 'before', bottom pic is 'after' and this pic below is 'during'. Ewww...too much information on this packaging!!

A stack of funky curtains to sell (I think).

50s do you think? $2

Another pile of vintage patterns to sell. I love these and would be more than happy to keep them but it seems very silly to when I cant knit!!!

Look how many!!  I have this many in my cupboard already!

 I bought a set of these for me for $7.50. I think there six of them (bad memory). Johnson Bros, Australia. So pretty don't you think? The saucer is a really cute shape.

Oui! Oui!

I love this tray. Do you think it would be Depression era?

Lucky last is this sweet little vintage sewing basket.

More finds to come...
