Yesterday was a long one for hubby taking our 16yr old to Drs then for x-rays then to Drs then back to hospital and waiting for about 3 hours to get plaster on.Getting from hospital to our Dr is about 1/2 hour one way so wasn't fun for them.My son had a run in with someone at school on the Monday who constantly harrasses him and he ended up punching out and breaking a small bone in his wrist.I try and teach non-violence and son is usually ok but was pushed to his limit.My16yr old son has a spectrum of Aspergers Syndrome to deal with.(looking at him and knowing him you cant tell but his social skills aren't great).He also has another syndrome that I wont go into right now so has alot to deal with poor kid.I know he will be ok once he finds his niche and I think he has learnt that punching out isnt the answer and doesnt always have the best end result.
So they had a bad day and other than grocery shopping (hate it!!) I had a great one...Warning lots of pics
Got caught up in the granny blanket buying thing only coz this was so lovely.Was smelly tho so took the chance of it surviving my front-loader and it did.Have to repair 2 small black sections should be easy.
Kitsch donkey I didn't buy it looked like it had worms lol You like this one Kitty?
Shame it was too tight for me can do it up but my boobies were squashed.
From my stash Glomesh bag and earings.Worn with above dress
70s home made dress $4
Skull belt (love it was going to give to kids but fits me mwahhh hahh ha) art deco looking stretch belt,hankie and cute 70s look kids tie

Oh my word, Nelly, there is soooooo much to love here. Adore those dresses on you especially numbers one and two.
Some good scores there Nelly! I've done similar to what you've suggested with the picture frame, mine is a gold frame with cardboard then black fabric then black netting over it, works well but doesn't hold much weight and falls over all the time if I'm not careful so no good at outdoor venues as its not heavy enough. I'm up for some black veiling if you can get some for me, thanks.xx.
oh Nelly, wonderful haul. Hope yr son is doing OK by tomorrow♥
No shopping for me today, NEW GLASSES instead.. cost a bomb, and are hurting my ears tonight, so I'm back tomorrow for an 'adjustment' I think. ~ L.
Wooohoo Nelly! What a wonderful treasure trove! I am so envious of your fantastic op shops! LOVE it all, the granny rug is beautiful, love those old ballerina pics! The bling was great and the dresses look great.
Hope your son is feeling better tomorrow. It's tough being a teenager at the best of times let alone one with aspergers.
Hi Nelly, I love, love LOVE everything.
You weren't kidding when you said you had a triumphant day. Wow!
That brown dress looks great on you, the others are all lovely too, but the brown one is my favourite.
The granny blanket is one of the nicest I've seen...so glad it washed up o.k.
I could go on and on but I wont...just quickly: W.A. tablecloth is a beauty x
Oh Nelly, I do love that brown embroidered dress, isn't the design fabulous? That black one suits you a treat, you look gorgeous.
I'll do a big hair tutorial especially for you very soon, promise! xxx
wowsers so much great stuff! You did so well! The dresses look amazing on you! Scarlett x
Nelly.....I think you would look glamourous in a bin bag!!!! Most vintage things I try on make me look like a sack of spuds! Lovely finds I really like the chandelier lamp. School is difficult, I hated it, hope your son is ok and daudhter mends quickly xx
I'm now not sure if it is daughter or son at docs! either way hope there better soon xx
Holy heck this is a haul and a half!!
I am always drawn to those samsonite cases. hah
I have at least 6 samsonites then some other brands on top of that... You would think I travel alot.. but I do not! bwhahaha
I also think that donkey has worms But he is kinda cute!
I am lovin that brown dress is is fantastic and looks nice on you.
Damn school bullies..I hope your son's hand recovers quickly. TAm x
Wanna swap towns for a week? I think I need a Bundy oppy fix - those sorts of bargains are just unheard of in oppys here now. Only jumble sales are any good - but gotta be quick!! You have such an incredible haul - well done you!! You look so chuffed with your fab bits and bobs and I lurrrrve the dresses, the black looks so beautiful on you!! Other highlights: blanket, suitcase (bargain!), lamp, phone booth, ballet pic!!! Unbelievable! Sorry to hear about your son Nelly, I really hope his wrist mends soon - and his feelings. I know several boys with AS and it is a roller coaster ride for the parents - all such beautiful, gentle boys inside. Big warm hug to you my lovely friend. xoxoxooxxooxoxox
The brown 70s dress - GORG! The stool is a beaut and will look even better when you're done with it, and I have major bling thrift envy with that bracelet - you like the 70s just as I do, I see!
Love the samsonite case! What a bargain
