flea market finds and an op shop lesson.


My op shop venture this morning was at first a major dissapointment.

I missed out on the dolls house I have been looking for, it walked out the door just as I was heading from crockery to furniture, darn it. Note for next time start in furniture then do crockery.
for my tiny secretary
I did however pick up 2 children's 70's vinyl chairs in orange, I love these. And as my kids are calling it a tv dinner's tray table alla Matilda, in floral orange, for $2.99. My trolley was already brimming when I eyed this wonderful children's rocking chair for $6.99, I had to have it and I had to make it fit into our trolley.
sit piece: orange
The plan is to strip this back and paint it red orange or yellow. The kids are loving this chair, I wonder whether they'll part with it for a while. After all this shopping and furniture juggling the little girls and I had to stop for our French bakery babycino's and Mum's coffee and croissants. So nice.
