pest

I have been stressed in the last 3 days..

There is a mouse in my house!!

I wish I did not have this phobia but it is quite debilitating!

As in I can't go into my kitchen or open a cupboard or drawer...

True Story! I have to leave the house all day...

 how the lovely folk at Velveteen Lounge Kitsch-en like to party.
Just to brighten up this dreary post. 

In these situations there is actually only one thing to do...

The lovely people at Velveteen Lounge Kitschen will save me. They have a drink and/or recipe idea for every occasion, as well as terrific ideas and tips.

op shopping just a little bit..

I went to a couple of op shops a few weeks ago, for the first time in MONTHS! I know!! 

Just a few things. But I love them all..

Never can pass by fruit/vege shaped things..It's a kitsch attraction.
$2

3 new cushions. The yellow one is super shiny and often features in the kids games, eg as the golden throne etc..

I am SO in love with this glass canister..
It used to have salted cashews in it..
SO groovy.
$2 for a glass jar seems excessive but my non op-shopping sister said that you would pay $2 or more for a new plastic one at Briscoes or The Warehouse.
So there we go!


My op shopping feet are getting itchy again. Hopefully it won't be that long between drinks again!!!

Happy Days!

A Foreign Donkey (op shop booty)

HELLO BLOGISPHERE!!
I trust this post finds you comfortable, happy and inspired!!

I have been crazy busy.
But I have snuck in the odd trip to an op shop or 2...

The first finds were from last week some time, and they are followed by the ONE thing I got this morning, before I decided that I need go no further...


The plot thickens...

Dump op-shop - $2.50. Beautifully lined with that floral fabric.
Hopelessly addicted to plastic basket weaving..

HIGHLY KITSCH jewellry box.
I don't often stand and consider purchases too long - but I confess that I did waiver about this one. It was so kitsch...

..But then I opened it and it was fabulous. And it plays 'Raindrops Keep Falling on my Head' (which I love) so it was a done deal! 

These are a little trip down memory lane. They HAD to be bought!! $4 the pair. Bonza!

ANd then this morning..
MONDAY morning is a great morning at the op shops, and I usually make a bit of a meal of it... 

But in the window of my favourite oppie this morning I saw this lamp.
It was love at first sight.

I felt I'd gone to the mountain top, right then and there. The op shop Gods had presented him to me and I was happy to go home! And so I decided that that was the end of my op shopping today! 

Foreign. I've never seen that label before!



Because I love to gawk at other people's second hand booty (yes, I know that can be a rude word.. but I mean it in a purely pirate kinda way!) I am
linking up to Her Library Adventures.

Happy days!
