with a little bit of Pixie dust

I had that awful dog disease that has been going around and then went  thru my family, hope none of you catch it, even LL has been laid up and not been to work all week.Half the family is now away and even tho I wasnt 100% I knew the kiddies who are still here were getting cabin fever so we I decided we were going treasure hunting (not called opshopping in this family anymore) so me being Captain Granny and Master 6 deciding he was Smee Little Miss 5 said she was Izzy(Jake and the Pirates cartoon) (Pirate themed family or what?) and Izzy carries pixie dust so I asked to be coated with some and guess what it worked!!
Coz this is what we I got over 2 treasure hunting trips (kids got toys etc)......

Yesterday with kids...
This wonderful and large sized beauty case/wig box/storage bag (do tell me what is is exactly) But perfect to take my top hat in if/whenever we have a blogging get together.I must measure it but its rather tall,

 Dress/dressing gown I thought it was a dress and will wear it as such but now think its a dressing gown just has a size tag no labels but love the style and colour of it

 Movie books (you know I love em!)One on the wonderful Barbara S (who I think is stunning)
the other with pictures of old movie stars ...

oh and a cute mini basket (for my collection you know.)

like Audrey and look at Barbs Top Hat, sigh!!

 and then this one of Elvis ( in honor of Scarlett she Loves Elvis alot,you know.) The book is full of colour and black and white prints Would love to frame them all but that would mean ripping up the book.Maybe I need to make friends at the printers?

There were a few other bits and bobs but nothing worth sharing.

Then Today by myself with some left over pixie dust I got......

an Ashton CG-34  model guitar I am a sucker for guitars (and other stringed instruments) and I  have a few guitars already (one day I will stick with lessons maybe, I hope, hmm anythings possible right?) Cost me a tenner saw some kids strumming it I was thinking put it down you dont really want it, put it down now and they did ha mind control does work sometimes lol

 

 Kids Lps coz they are bored and driving me nuts and I am hoping putting these on my player might entertain them for a bit.One was made in Christchurch NZ another in London and the other in California.(just in case you was wondering where on earth they originally come from as you do,ha )

  remember pick  up sticks? these are true vintage ones,just like the ones I used to play with at grans house.

Now  lookee here

Barsony girls yep even have original labels so now I need to know what they are worth.Ask me how much they were and Ill tell ya.

 and a box full of vintage patterns

 with these amongst them

and they were being thrown out (GRRRRR dont get me started!!!!! I saw them throwing out books too and asked about this box which was near door you have to go past) Got em all FREE tho but makes me wonder what gets thrown out and who makes the decisions and why not have a free box or redonate them and how annoyed would the donaters feel?I know some stuff is garbage and stained but lots must be reusable.WASTE I HATE IT! vent ended.

So moral to my post Dont forget the Pixie dust and dont be scared to ask Are you throwing that out?
