Saturday

I had shown this pretty plate set last year ($2 per plate)... but now they are actually up on the wall.  I did the job all by myself and with hubby's directions... and I couldn't have placed them straighter if I tried!  I'm so pleased, and they look really cute up above the kitchen window.  :)

A few plates on another wall (prices ranged from 50 cents to $5).  Hubby thinks it's starting to look a tad busy in the kitchen... but who cares really?

Wednesday

As I do not have children for reasons that a lot of people would pat me on the back for these days...  I can use the sailor hat and shirt to dress my teddy bears!  Yes I myself am still a child at heart, but thankfully not in head.   LOL.

Tuesday

I was in one of my favourite, dingiest and filthiest second hand shops one day last year and I found a big glass spoon.  Possibly vintage, but it's oh so hard to tell these days so I won't put it under my blog labels as vintage.  

The sales assistant mentioned that there was supposed to be a matching fork with it, so we both hunted around looking for it, but to no avail.  

I was disappointed, but I still bought the spoon for $1.  I'm now on the hunt to find it's long lost partner.... the fork!  Other second hand stores, op shops, and Ebay has been no help so far, but that won't stop me from looking because after all, I've been very lucky in the past with finding particular things.

But until then, here's to eating some yummy ice cream the oh so fancy way.  :)

Monday

Monday, Monday.... so good to me.....  NOT.  

I dislike Mondays for no apparent reason.  Maybe it's society that has brainwashed me to think like that!

A boring assortment of free stuff today.  I'm guessing you can tell that I'm running out of interesting things to show you?

Sweet French milk glass egg cup found for 50 cents.

Thurday

Black.  Black is a shocking colour to photograph and I'm sure I've expressed my disgust before.  There is no way you can clean something black, every speck of dust clings like an entity! Funny how that you can hardly see the dust in real life.  But as they say, the camera never lies. 

Free black pot and 2 cups.  Not really a set because I found them at separate times so they should all be square or round if they were a family.  Dead give away, right?

Thursday

It seems like these adorable plaques are made out of plaster or something similar, I'm really loving the crackling effect and they are self hangable - what's not to love?

I saw them, I liked them, I bought them.  The good thing was that I didn't realise it was half price day at the op shop, so I ended up paying $2 each for them.  I've yet to find a spot for hanging.... maybe the bathroom or maybe the corridor... I simply can't decide.
