my week at the op shop

i managed to get quite a bit of op shopping done this week. im trying to stock up so that when i go on my five weeks of prac i wont feel the withdrawals too hard!!

here is the loot...

beautiful old classics

quirky fruit tea towels

gorgeous old floral sheets and pillowcases :)

also managed to find a few super cute dresses and shirts that will be up in the shop in the next week or so. and the most fabulous hot pink lace party dress that deserves its own post... so stay tuned!

happy weekend xx

happy tea

i picked up this fabulous little mug at the rummage sale in king george square last weekend. it makes drinking my tea in the morning such an exciting treat!

lets go to the fair

oh the whimsy of it all..

in the garden

my husband and i are currently building a house out in the bush.

to clarify, neither my husband or i are actually the ones building - that would be the friendly building fairies who are hard at work while i am at work and uni. nor is it in the bush. it is however on a 1 acre block which i feel entitles me to say that we are moving to a farm :)

this excites me greatly and i am dreaming of a hammock, veggie garden, sewing room and a chook pen. i have already started planning our veggie patch which might just be the best thing ever.
