Thrift Shop Finds (September)

There has been a lot of thrifting loveliness found lately.
It is school holiday's for us, sadly coming to an end today.
We have been traveling about, to some less urban localities.
Oh the delights of a country thrift shop!

You may be wondering how I managed to shop with the smalls in tow?
It is now that I confess that I have beget children who love to unearth treasures in op shops,
the promise of looking usually brings about squeals of delight from the little Miss.  The Boy usually comes around to the idea once he is there.  And now even the Mr is more than a little enthralled by the opportunity...

These barn doors where actually unearthed by the Crafty Mother, and are waiting for the Mr and his mate to transform them into a trestle table top (gushed on about here and photographed here)

Warning, that the next photo may ellicit weak at the knees, vintage fabric envy...
This pile of fabric was found in one glorious visit to the Crafty Mother's local county op shop.  Some of the fabric had the original receipt still folded up inside, bought in April 1975 for the pricely sum of $1.75 per metre...

 

The stash cupboard is well and truly overflowing with vintage loveliness, I do wish I could photograph it for you, but the lighting is all wrong in the hall way.  

Anyways, I am now on a self imposed fabric buying fast, in order to use up some of the stash.  I did promise myself once I started gathering vintage fabrics, that I would only ever house as much as I could store in that designated cupboard...

And today, a big happy birthday to The Boy who turned 4 day.  Happy Birthday my dinosaur loving, pirate-y boy!
