a spot of thrifting in the past couple of weeks.
old timber chairs are on my collecting wish list and this one for $10 makes a great start.
more Pyrex too. purchased from different op-shops on the same day. small one $2 and large one with the pretty printed matching lid $6.
& the stack of books for $1.
what have you added to your collections recently?
i'm on day 5 of a 9 day working week so no op-shopping for a little while yet so i'd love to check out your recent thrifted purchases.

ReplyDeleteOh, you collect Enid Blyton books too! My sister and I always pick them up whenever we see them & between the two of us now have a whole shelf full! They are so delightful, and I love the hodge-podge look of old books.
ReplyDeleteLove you other finds too

I think the chair will quickly become a favourite with it's beautiful slenderness and detail..a gorgeous object to collect!

ReplyDeleteLook forward to following you and hope you'll pop in and say hello sometime too.
Hope your working week has not been too hectic,

Hi Zara, sorry it has taken me so long to formally come over to your space. Great finds. I especially love collecting Enid Blyton books and that chair is pretty gorgeous. Mel x
ReplyDeleteLove the chair, my place is heaving with old chairs but I'd find room for that one. Great book bargain also.
ReplyDeleteDon't tell me you bought that Pyrex in Orange!!! I just don't want to know. (of course I wish it was my lucky find!) I have the bowls in that print. Great score! Love that chair too. I have just discovered the book section upstairs at the salvos, my god I would need a whole day to sift through them. There are some great old ones there.
ReplyDeleteLove your birdy, great idea for a xmas ornament.
