flea market finds..

That jar is so us... We've had a busy, scavenging kind of weekend. A spot of pre-rapture looting. First the beautiful canister on Friday night, then the op shopped linen and pattern on Saturday morning.

Little owlet is particularly keen on the pinafore but a bit miffed that the shoes aren't included.

The owlets scored with some vintage Polly Pocket toys at a garage sale - supercute from before Polly grew hips and bosoms. They picked up some tea cups for our special morning teas, a bumper bag of Hama beads, a wetsuit for big owlet and a hand knitted jumper for little owlet. We did break the budget, just a little. But oooh isn't it fun to wander and rummage the weekend away?

  5. Yes the best fun sifting through garage sales on the weekend. I do know what you mean about the shoes...great basic pattern though, I'm sure you can do something fab with linings and appliques?

  6. AHHHH! Op-shopping! We went op-shopping at the weekend too. I didn't know there was an op-shop finds meme too, I've just blogged about our oppy "gold" too. I took my 4yo for some baby brother free op-shopping & she loved it as much as I do. Hurrah. Country op-shops are awesome too, I always have more luck finding fantastic stuff in counrty oppies than I ever did in the city. One big plus about our move.

    I remember those Polly Pockets when they were new, I never had one, but they were very popular at school.

    My favourite of your finds is the cannister though, it's too sweet.
