Fleamarket finds




I'm stuck in bed today sweeties, recovering from being a bit unwell.



To pass the time I'm looking through lots of lovely blogs and trying to cope with five indoor winter kids who are niggly and bored.


My finds are really not mine this week but were discovered by my boys on a recent road trip. Mark & Bill travelled up to a little town near Shepparton to visit James who manages a fruit orchard there. Can you imagine all the fantastic op shops they passed along the way?



They picked up some gorgeous sheets,



and this lovely linen Australiana tablecloth.



I think my favourite find was this pretty apron.
Have you found any lovely treasures this week?
I'm off to Sophie's for a peek,
see you soon

Fleamarket Finds...


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
