thrifting & gifting





My first Johnson cake stand, found during last weekends trip to Sydney, and yes it was still in its box.


A spot of Fire King ware, 50c

And some lovely gifts were both given and received...



twas our 5 year anniversary
(by the way this perfume smells absolutely divine).


First week down in my new workplace as well and I survived. The staff are lovely and helpful and I'm slowly learning my way around.

I've got a couple of days off now. A bit more sewing to do (with the possibility of an exciting new venture in store. I don't want to get too excited yet but I've got my fingers and toes crossed), and tomorrow a bit of op-shopping is on the agenda.

  7. What a lovely Johnson plate! How adorable is the lime green Fire King bowl - hard to find that colour now.

    Don't keep us in suspense too long (re possible new venture), prolonged suspense is not good for my BP!!

    Enjoy your days off, Zara, I hope you have lots of sunshine and some thrilling finds as you venture around the Op Shops.
