What I like

I mentioned once or twice that my family and I decided to buy thrifted gifts for each other this past Christmas. Well I'm pleased to say that my loved ones know exactly what I like. Anything milk glass, aqua, white, vintage are all on the list of things I love. I'm glad they know me so well. 


Milk glass from my BF and doily coasters from my mum.


The tulip linen table runner is stunning and from my mum. The juicer is a little pressie I bought for me, how could I resist for only $5.


These special Poole pieces were from my Grandma's house and gifted to me from mum.


The mini cassette suitcase also from Gran's and the milkglass goblets which I think might just be my favourite are from my brother sourced by my sister as my bro left it way too late to start thrifting in late December.



Paul received this piece of industrial goodness from my mum, also found at Grandma's. It's filled with all the original medical bits. So, so cool don't you think?


And last but certainly not least some vintage pyrex from Lea. 


More thrifted Christmas lovelies next week but in the meantime pop over to Sophies to see some more.

  2. Oh beautiful things, and all to a gorgeous colour theme. I love the milk glass and the glaze on that crockery. They did you proud. I got some lovely vintage bits and pieces from my family for Christmas too.

    Happy New Year.

  4. I am loving all that turquoise in your pics Karlyn. That first aid kit gets a big tick from me because it is right up my alley, but all your pressies are lovely.
    I would so love to follow your family's example for Christmas this year, but unfortunately it wouldn't go down very well with my family. At all. Sigh.
