Thrift shop finds

My Daughter and I where out shopping,

when we decided to pop into the

Saint Vinnie,s thrift shop. WE

both found a bargain or two.

I found this sweet ceramic cat for 

$1.50. There must be a partner for

this sweet cat as this look's as this

was one of the seventies salt & 

pepper shaker's.  

 

This cat also made remember

my Nan as I remember, The 

collection she had of these cat's

when I was growing up.

I have two of them and my sister

also has 1 or 2 of them as well. 

My Daughter found this cute basket cost $4.00.

 Look's like may be picnic basket as the top lock's

with a piece of wire that goes through two

wire loop's when it is closed. 

We are think we may paint it to

use in her room, when paint and

redecorate it. May paint either 

white or pale pink, would love

feed back on the colour we should pick.

 She also found this very cute bunny,

that seem to say I belong with you know 

Becka. With a price of $2.50 she just 

had to obey the plead of I belong 

with you Becka.

So there is my thrift buy share for 

this week so check out.

I am not ready to show kitchen cupboard's

as they not quiet finished and bit untidy at

the moment. So please here the two display

cupboards, I picked the two up for $200

from a dress shop that was closing down.

They have lights and also all glass , so when found them. 
I had just the place for them in the nook in the passageway to 
display my treasure's and teacup set's, 
And give soft lighting  in passageway.

Lets look inside

top shelves

The two top shelves

have some couple of 

special treasures and few

of my teacup sets from ebay

and thrift shop. 

The little bear on the 

left shelf was from my

sister who now lives

in the USA.  

Second shelves

The shelf on the left

have some family

passed on treasures and

same collected pieces.

 The shelf on the right

       a few special treasured

             gifts and family passed

      on treasure's.

  

         

                                           Third shelves

This shelf is mix of my collected

things, family on passed treasures

 and teacups and saucers.

The next shelf has mainly

family passed on treasures,

the plate behind the small

       red plate and knitted holders    

    is  a serving plate from

         my mothers Grandparents

           wedding gift of dinner set. 

Last shelves

These two shelves are

just bit's and pieces.

The wood work

pieces are what my

children done at school.

there are also some little

men made from metal in

the left shelf that are loading

a cannon, son made them. 

So that's a look in two of my

favorite cupboards. I have joined

others at  

“Heart of the Home – Show Us Your Favorite Cupboard” party hosted by  Shelia over at Note Songs!

is a gift my hubby brought me 

2years ago my wire and ceramic

mannequin. I love it, sits just inside of

the front door. 

The other bit of blue is the walls of the passage 

and the front entrench.

 As your walk in the front door I have

deep aqua colour the door frames and window

frame white, have not quiet finished yet as

you can see the window needs to be

cleaned.

The other walls will be the light blue you 

can see on the right above the lounge

doorway. I will share more as the painting

and the cleaning up from painting is finished.  

So thats my small share for Blue Monday,

Was cleaning out some storage box's that where

from packing up the passage and lounge areas

for the reno's we are doing. When I came across

these pieces of drift wood and some from bush walks 

my children had collected when younger.

Then I found

this tray,key and bud vase so tired the wood pieces

with a some string added the tag and coin that had

been tired around a candle on leather witch I used

to tye the key to bud vase, the sign was in the box 

so added it as the colours and look of it fitted.Paper

flower made myself with coffee filter and few scented 

oil sticks to finish.  

Placed it in lounge on top of dvd cupboard in

front of painting from thrift shop and glass candle

holder's from friend.

This little Lady my Mum got for me at a

tip shop for 10 cents so cleaned her up,

added her to top of my bookcase in the

lounge with other family treasures

and  two little bird nest's found in

garden.
