After a hard week in the office ...(I'm smiling - it was fun really!) ... what better to recuperate than a sunny field sale! It's been a while since I shared any thrifting with you and I thought you might like to see some booty!
Starting with these cute little bookends and, fortuitously, on another stall, a cute little mouse!
They are now perfectly at home on the barmy shelf... so called because each item in isolation is a little barmy, but altogether they seem perfectly happy!
This little fella lives in a glass topped box with our collection of glass animals. All equally barmy too! I take my hat off to the first person to decide to make a glass animal. I don't have a single one that doesn't make me laugh!
Yard and yards of vintage seam binding in glorious colours and that HUGE wooden reel of silk thread, a 50's tablecloth of glorious blue roses and a lovely lucite brooch.
I love these brooches, I love that they look different depending upon the background, but the price has gone up. The pink one cost me 10p a couple of years ago. Today's find was an extravagant 30p! I blame the credit crunch!
These are fun! I've been in seaside theme for a while so I couldn't resist these 60's bar stirrers with a sailor tattoo theme. Think I need to mix myself a Snowball to put them to good use?
Now, frivolity over, thoughts must return to the workroom and those Easter bunnies! All pinned and ready to be stitched and stuffed! Then I can concentrate on our Easter decorations...
..we have a spring branches to decorate. More on that another day! Hope you've all had a lovely weekend. Back soon. t.x
I have just noticed this is my 100th post! I'm sure I should have marked the moment but instead I am looking forward to my Blogiversary coming soon! I think there should be a giveaway for that one! xxx

You certainly know where to find the bargains - a lucite brooch under £10 ??? Amazing!

and thanks for the scrummy kitsch on display!
It reminds me that I once owned a large collection of glass animals.. not one survived.. probably melted down to make wine bottles!
It seems that seaside vintage is de rigeur.. make mine a kiss me quick and a 99 please!
Love
