added to the collection...








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.

  2. Oh, 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.
    Love you other finds too

  21. Don'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.
    Love your birdy, great idea for a xmas ornament.
