| Iris wore a pumpkin suit and was photographed by a lot of people. She quite liked it. |
 |

 |
| SERIOUSLY I will be dreaming about this pumpkin soup and rewena (maori bread) until next year. Such a good $3 worth. Perfect. |
 |
| Missing 8 and 2 but I said that if no-one wanted them I'd take them home. Which they didn't. And I did. |
 |
| yay new clothes! |
 |
| Close ups.. |
 |
| I knew this box would have something cool in it.. |
 |
| the kind of puzzles we had when we were kids. And I think they were old then! |
 |
| Another item of dress-up clothing for the stash.. for the-girl-with-the-best-dress-up-collection- I've-seen. |
 |
| Another bag of promise.. It looked like old doll stuff.. |
 |
| It was. Old sindy/babrbie clothes, which was a aREAL nostalgia trip.. |
 |
| check out the cute little label 'Sindy' |
 |
| I had some similar sindy catalogue pages like this that I literally drooled over when I was a kid. I looked at them and admired them till they were tattered like these ones. I'm sure these have been similarly well-loved and used! These say 1978 so similar age to the ones I had.. |
 |
| Creepy eyed dolls'house dolls. That's it! Phew! Linking up to The Nifty Thrifty @ a Living Space Blackbird has Spoken Op Shop Show-off |
 |
| I don't know why I'm looking so cross. Dress: op shop of course Cardy : fill a box for $1 at our school garage sale a couple of weeks ago. VERY acrylic. Belt and boots: op shopped of course. Hem falling down - most likely my own work. |
 |
| Action shot. . Shame about the hem! |
 |
| Back home again. |
 |
| One day I'm going to fly away in one of those things. |
 |
| Loving the new picmonkey effects.. |
 |
| And in other news - IT RAINED HERE YESTERDAY!! It was refreshing. We are still officially in drought. |
 |
| Iris enjoyed taking her christmas present umbrella on its first outing. |
 |
| Iris's frock - 50c at the girl guides' garage sale a few weeks back. She loves her cherry dress. Happy Days! |
 |
| Old chairs like the ones that were everywhere in schools.. I really love them. They are 'adult' size, not the little kiddy ones. Made by Sabel, Aust. There were 6 but one had lots of obscenities and graphics scratched into it! |
 |
| FINALLY found a kenwood mixer! This has been a major covet of mine for years. Here she is whizzing up some easter meringues. |
 |
| Shoes for Iris. |
 |
| MINT condition tin trays to add to my collection. None of my others are in great nick like these! No dents or rust. |
 |
| Just love old plastic baskets. I think y'all know that now! The little dolly has matching knitted gruts on. |
 |
| Maybe for the wall.. |
 |
| Picnic ware to add to my set. There was so much stuff at that sale that I didn't even notice these until RIGHT at the end. |
 |
| More bookery. |
 |
| Clothes for Arlo and Iris mainly. |
 |
| GREAT handmade dress for Iris. So perfect. |
 |
| The kids in the weekend at the place we hired with 5 other families. |
 |
| Bringing them up right. (by the way, that's the holiday venue! We don't have a big f-off tv like that!) |
 |
| Found some easter eggs on our bush walk.. So that was part 2.. I think there'll be another to come. Hot Air Balloon Festival has started here in Hamil-vegas. Fun times.
