Flea Market Finds

My lucky stars were shining down on me this week, I found so many great oppy buys, I'm still beaming from this little piece of wooden beauty. This lovely old fashioned sewing box is made of teak veneer and is in beautiful condition. I paid $20 and while I was looking at it a lovely old lady was admiring it and saying that she had one in her family, she had 3 sisters and sadly missed out on it as she wasn't the oldest. She told me it was a "beauty" and I should definitely buy it. My 7 year old was only too eager to replace the screws for some new shiny ones and re fit the handle. He now wants it as his tool box.....I think not!

Now.... what to use it for? I'm tempted to use it as a side table for my cuppa and a book or two.

But just look at this storage, both sides look like this and my thread and scissors are calling it......what would you use it for?

These vintage girly sheets were $12 and brand new, starched and pressed. The are way to pretty to cut up, they have already found their way onto Rosa's bed and she loves them.

And this pink, violet and cream wool Aussie made blanket will do the same come winter.

And a little bit of sunshine to add to this dreary Autumn day in Sydney....... 6 happy yellow napkins.

Hope you've had a happy week end, pop over to Sophie's for some other thrifty finds.
