scenes from the weekend...

farmers markets, new (to me) magazine issues, homemade laundry powder and plaited hair... (plus a LOT of school work - but those arent fun photos)

lately...

...a few goodies that i have picked up at the op shop over the last couple of weeks. since i have started back at work i am not getting much (slash ANY) time to thrift which is making me feel a bit out of sorts and unbalanced (because a balanced life should involved op shopping.. :) ).

some of these treasures will be setting up home in my house while others will be heading to the suitcase rummage markets next weekend to find a new home.

p.s - does anyone else have trouble with landscape pictures being automatically turned into portrait by blogger??

back on ebay...

a few vintage goodies i am selling on ebay this week. check out these and more over here

p.s - the suitcase rummage is on the 6th of feb if you are interested in coming along :)

mali and i have packed our little suitcases full of vintage goodness all ready for the suitcase rummage next weekend! come along to reddacliff place (just outside brisbane square library) after 12pm to find some treasures!

p.s - may i just take this time to say that it freaks me out a little that so many of my high school friends have kids. eek!
