Vintage sheets

I've had heaps of luck finding vintage sheets lately. Here are just a few that make me happy. 

Thrifted Vintage Finds

I've had the best time thrift shopping this week. The weather has been dreadful here in Ballarat. I guess most thrift shoppers have been home staying dry.....more goodies for me. Here are a few of my favourite finds....

 A complete 4pc Johnson dinner set 

 Beautiful 'Young Reader' Reader's Digest. Printed in 1967. Each one has a collection of classic children's stories.  I love the different coloured covers. They will look great displayed together on a shelf.

 These amazing 3D children's books. They were published in 1968. I will have to show you some of the illustrations in a future post.....so adorable.

 A turquoise coloured Willow bread bin...love this!!...

...and finally this pretty Willow serving tray.

Can't wait to see what I can find this week :)

Thrifty Vintage Finds

Gosh it's been ages since i posted some of my vintage finds. Here are a few of my favourites. I found the 1950/60's (?) Spanish Girl print in a country op shop for $2!! I love the wooden salt and pepper grinders - I saw them at a flea market in Daylesford, and just had to have them. Locals finds - A 1950's letter writing set - sweet vintage fabric with gardening theme - the cutest PINK alarm clock - and this lovely 1970's Readers Digest book with a collection of classic children's stories ....i love the bright green patterned cover. Will try and get to a few markets this weekend....while the sun is shining.

Thrifty Tuesday

 Wow! What a great week it has been for vintage thrifty finds.

I haven't had much time for thrift shopping the past few weeks (or blogging!) so I was thrilled when I found all these goodies. It was as if they had been hiding somewhere waiting for me to find them.

Check out the huge pile of vintage fabrics I found...yay. All of it is pre 1980's (some 1950's) cottons with interesting prints.

Other great finds- vintage children's books - dinner plates (not all shown) - vintage craft books - groovy tablecloth - 2 cute figurines (not sure if these are vintage but Miranda loves them).

My favourite find would have to be the little book called "Woodland Adventures" It has the sweetest illustrations :)

Sweet thrifty dreams everyone

A blissful weekend

Did you have a great weekend? I sure did.

The weather has been glorious here. Spring is so near....yay!

A drive to Daylesford was a definite must do.

Had a look at the Mill Markets. Lots of interesting things. Didn't buy anything....sigh :( Saving up my $ for something exciting (he he)

Ronan loved this vintage rocking horse....so did mummy.

 Miranda looked so pretty today, I had to take her picture.

She is so camera shy (ha ha)

She is wearing a very sweet dress by Seed and a cute floral Cath Kidston bag.

After church, family came over for lunch. Chocolate brownies....yum :)

 Didn't have a lot of luck thrift shopping this week.

What I did find was a cute nanna rug, a couple of retro cups, a 1960's big pencil with a tin world globe, and this ace sewing book. It has a pattern sheet for the clothes pictured. Some of the clothing is just wild... I love it :)

 I also managed to do a bit of sewing. Something pretty for the house. I ran out of light to take photos so you'll just have to wait till tomorrow.
