Well I made it to the markets this morning with no rain in sight it was a beautiful day. Scored big time and was so pleased with my purchases. I was out of practice and didn’t know where to start. I’m a cheap scape and apart from bed linen and clothes I possibly buy nothing new – all my items in my home are second hand market finds. I love the thrill of a find and the excitement that goes with it. Doing the happy dance (on the inside) when you find that piece thats on your wanted list and the joy on my face when the stall holders tell you $5 for everything.
These cute drink coaster are made from glass with croched covers on them. I also picked up this silver heart box which is lined inside with pink velvet.
This rug I also got today for a bargain considering I was going to buy a new one – I saved big time there.
This two tiered wrought iron stand was on my wanted list. I sold a lovely white one years ago and regretted it ever since so this was a nice surprise for $6.
Turned timber shelf. This was a piece I just loved as its narrow and can fit in a hallway or a bathroom will be nice white. You can never have enough baksets and this will be lovely filled with goodies in the bathroom.
