 I just want to say thankyou for a successful treasure hunting day.I found lots of vintage things plus other treasures and am thinking my friends would like to see so am going to show them.I do hope you come to visit me alot more as I have been feeling very neglected but not today,today I think you love me.Thankyou,thankyou,thankyou xxxx


Yes my friends I did well today the drought has broken and I am smiling just you wait and see......

Ok "what tha!?" I can hear you thinking.No its not a wat tha its a mat with holes."What the heck for" I hear you say.Well dear friends these are perfect if you have macadamia nuts that need cracking and perfect for kids who love to crack them.Pop them in the hole and bash away they cant go bouncing of anymore.A lady bought 2 mats after I told her what mine was for lol.$1 I do try to make the kids happy ha.
 A retro shell pic very 70s I think.Saw a smaller one in the vintage shop in town and decided to go back and grab this one.Nearly did last week lucky no one else liked it.

 Miss 10 fell in love with this ...lightshade for her beach room (eventually) Different isnt it?

 This is a very small chair suitable for elves and fairys lol I have now go 2 small chairs in my colletion and am going to start a collection to have on my wall.Weird? Me? what makes you say that?
Some vintage bling $3
 2 movie books yay me the opshop book lady  was marking them while I was checking out some of her other bits (see below shortly) and they were half price so $2.50 each.YES!!
 Vintage bag like I need another.It was $5 but I havnt got one quite like this (my excuse and sticking to it!)
 Tablecloth (just wait till you see what I will be doing with it) $1
More books.The craft one in the middle was for memories sake I had one just like this as a teen .90c the lot
Not too vintage but most popular a few times in the past.Its a lovely turquoise I did pay $4 but its coz I dont have many tops and the colour is yum.

 Ha ha how could I resist these?20c I think.One lady said $2 I went back to pay and my total was much less.
 a bit more vintage bling.
 How could I leave this $1 glass fish behind?It was so cugly I had to have it.
 Kylie look some teatowels.
 Very cute basket.
 and Miss 10 finally got her $1 ukelele back after being fixed.Its from the 70s and her teacher did it up cheap.(strings etc )wooden ones new go for over $140
 Now hold on to your panties gals.Your gunna love this ......
Are you ready??????? Saw the book  lady unpacking these,(control the drool girls)

 and placing one at a time into individual bags
I said how much are they?
 She said $2 each but its half price today!!! I said Id have them all.(she was happy less work for her!) I was very happy as I had been wondering where  all the 50s patterns were and I said as much to book lady.

they are  1955x7, 1956x2, 1957x1,1958x2, 1959x2 and 1962x2

 Book lady then informs me."I just put a heap of vintage patterns away I will show you where."
 Woo hoo is me smiling and following and trying not to do a skip while clicking my ankles together. I am nothing but cool ya know.Ha ha.

and I got these
 
and these
 and these  for.... Are you sitting down?10c each.Can you believe it? (Heres a tissue wipe the drool)
AND she was throwing this lot out and thought it funny that I wanted it all .So free box of full patterns and some pattern pieces  I have to put together
 and newspaper clippings from the 60s and 70s all used as patterns.

 Wonder where they are now and what they look like?
