I love these wooden houses. I'm always attracted to house images, the shape, little chimneys, a pointy roof, love them. I found these treasures in an op shop recently. Don't they look great against a white background?
Today I am finally starting to mend my favourite op shop quilt. I've had it for a few years now and a couple of the squares have torn & ripped. It's not sewn on or quilted all the way through to the backing so I am handsewing the new squares on. It's actually very relaxing and fun.
I found this set of six cups and saucers at the MS Opshop this week. They are made in Brazil and are so sweet. Rather simple but gorgeous. They will be perfect for an afternoon tea.
Finally a pretty pair of birkenstocks for Sunday. The colour hasn't quite come out in this photo but they are lovely and fit her perfectly. And for only $1 I'm a happy shopper! What treasures have you found lately? I'm off to have a look at Sophie's, why not come too? xo

Those houses are adorable!!
I love your finds! The teacups are so sweet. And the sandals for Sunday...what a deal! I did pop into an estate sale over the weekend and found a lovely round platter, cream colored with a light blue ring around the edge and some pretty blue and green flowers in a ring around the center. I should post about it! I love seeing the deals you find. It makes me want to go out hunting too.
You don't know how much I'd like for you to be able to stop in for coffee or tea on my porch too ;)
Birks for a dollar...?! That is the only way I will ever own a pair lol, but I have nae been as lucky as you yet!
Your quilt looks devine, if you ever get sick of it... ;)
