I had a dream/Call me a Treasure Hunter / The one that got away.

Yes had  another oppy dream (crazy woman!!) I saw this wardrobe yesterday and wouldnt it be great for vintage clothing?Seriously the hugest robe I have ever seen and tall too.

 No where for me to put it but took a photo for you all.
Anyway back to the dream well I dreamt that I saw 4 vintage hatboxes on top of  it and asked how much was told $2 each and I said I'll take them all ( I had a huge dream grin too) then I woke up!!argghhh will I ever finish an opshop dream after I buy things not before?Why am I tortured so.?

So anyway My whole day of staying home and unveiling the Treasure room went by the wayside as I had to do groceries and that means I pass opshops and that means I have to go see what I can find hence the
Call me a Treasure Hunter in title.
(After that dream wouldnt you go on the hunt too?)
and this is what I found......

Saw a lady holding a gorgeous vintage chenille dressing gown.,I tried to telepathically make her put it down as I could tell she wasnt sure.Then these interfering old biddies started ewwwing and ahhing over it grrr anyway I said to the lady I was hoping you were going to put it down and Id pay her double for it she said its only (wait for it) $2 arghhhhhhh lol she was kind enough to let me take a pic tho (felt sorry for my pain I think) lol
Very much like my quilt I have, oh well teaches me for forgetting to put my blinkers on which I always try to do.

But all was not lost I went and had another scroungs around and found this

one last thing my fault but ....Men aye?

I left my keycard at home rang The Captain and asked  can you meet me halfway and bring the Brown Leather bag near my desk.(note to self when switiching bags make sure you remove everything!)

Ok says he and  meets me halfway and hands me the Black bag with maroon trim (this is the Men aye? bit) Luckily I decided to just take his keycard instead of driving all the way home for mine lol.

The end xx
