Tuesday

Oh, the prettiness of it all.....

Little bits and bobs, eye candy, knick knacks, curios and so on.  Whatever you call them, they can have such a hold on you can't they?  But we only live once so we may as well enjoy what we buy and have.

Adorable dove clock found for $8, but I managed to sweet talk the shop assistant into giving it to me for just $5.  It stands at 8 inches and shock, horror - it works just fine.

Sweet little ceramic rose for 70 cents.  You can't beat that price for something as pretty as this.  Although white can terribly difficult to photograph.

Tasmanian egg cup for 50 cents, but made in Japan.  :/

Only bought this because the husbeast is one (Tasmanian, not Japanese).

Monday

I used to get my meals served on a silver platter... but I now get served on a gold bowl

 

 Then my sweet dessert will be respectfully served on a square glass plate

 

 After dessert comes a lover-ly cup of tea from an English tea pot, no less.

 

 Then the English tea pot is placed on a dainty crocheted white cotton doily

Yes folks.... just a reminder that I find these types of things on people's junk piles - in case you've forgotten.  ;)

Sunday

Cute things found for $1 each!

Ceramic hello kitty

Mother goose egg cup

Wooden egg cup

Sweetest little plate

Saturday

I've always been a crafty person.  I visit a lot of crafty blogs and just lately, it's inspired me to *maybe* start one of my own.  I'll need to start documenting and photographing my craftiness of course and it's certainly one more extra job on my never ending list, but I think it'll be fun.  Off to go and ponder about this some more...
 
In the meantime, various free crafty things found;

Once in a while, all that glitters is gold, silver and red

 As lucky as a charm, but it's only the plastic type of luck, whatever that may be

Pink, glassy and beady

 

 Beat me with a little stirring stick

 Then paint me colourful again, again and again

Friday

Don't you just love Friday?  What comes to mind on a Friday for me? ;

- Going to bed late (then sleeping in late).

- Playing heaps of Zelda Skyward Sword (I've been playing for weeks but I seem to enjoy it more on a Friday night).

and...

- Lots of munchies to fatten us up.

 

Back to my groovy finds.  I found this cute spoon holder for $3 months ago and had forgotten all about it up until now.  I seem to be doing that a lot in my old age.  ugh!

Wednesday

See this suitcase?  

It was a freebie which I pick up on somebody's junk pile and it was in extremely good condition - inside and out... that always baffles me!  

I cleaned it up and advertised it for sale for $25.  A few weeks later somebody haggled with me and managed to get it down to $20.  I was content not only because I sold it, but because some space in the house was reclaimed.  

 

Monday

Egg cups.  Can't get enough of them.  

I didn't set out to buy anything like this though but there it was, a wooden egg cup set of five glaring at me for $4.99.

After some research, I found out that the artist 'Orna Shachar' is still happily painting away here in Perth.  Check out her work HERE .
