Recent Finds

 I've been op-shopping.. 
Whoops.
I have never had great resolve. 
There are still things to be unpacked.
Never mind!!

Add fabric to make a funky catsuit!
Hours of fun!






Um yeh, she's not a recent find, but she's so cute I had to chuck a photie in!


Not particularly retro but I found this number. It looks a bit like some of my wallpaper!

As in my previous post, taking a photo of myself is complicated!

"Rupert, Rupert the Bear, everyone sing his name!"


This even has a funky backing. Love it!

I think this is a tea cosy..
(Gil playing with the 20c label!)

I can't resist these spoons. We use them, we don't hang them up as a collection.

OK this is a major thrill..
These are hand tinted photos.
In original frames.
Having a daughter called Iris makes this find particularly thrilling!

JOY!

Those hand tinted photos are the greatest you opshopping goddess. I loathe taking photos of myself as well which is stink because my hokohoko clothes are wicked. Good scores.

I use my spoons too...the designs are too awesome to languish on a shelf and I'm a believer in using things unless they're the real precious precious

Back with avegeance! I love everything but especially that tea cosy-cum-hat! Your daughter is a cutie, you should train her to take photos then we can admire you more often. x

But not as sweet as your live doll. *hehe*
I like your top!
The knit bear is so cute.

hahha at the tea cozied head. I commented on someones blog that some of the tea cozies that are kicking around would make WAY BETTER HATS! THEY MUST BE SHOWN OFF! =D

Iris is adorable, and I was known to wear tea cosies in my day (that would be age 3-5 years :) Love your posts!!
