Hi Ho Silver, away!

I have never been partial to horses. They smell, are too big and scary and that pig-rooting thing they do totally freaks me out.

Now these little horses on the other hand are way more my style.
Seriously- are they not the most divine vintage looking hobby horses you have seen?

Weekend thrifted finds

$10 vintage travel clock (as previosly mentioned, I have an issue with collecting clocks...) and pretty floral and blue polka dot table cloth

Do you remember these adorable little double mirrors? You pull out the back mirror and it flips around so there are 2 mirrors-a standard and close up mirror...so sweet!

Looks quite scary with those beaded eyes but with a coat of paint I am sure he will come up cute as a button!

This flamingo pair kept calling to me but sadly I left them there. I keep thinking about them so I think I am going to have to go back and get them. They are a darker pink in real life. Don't know where in my house they they would go, hmm, minor detail.

Bundle of vintage linens- sheets, tablecloths and pillowcases. Perfect for some upcoming projects I am trying to start...

It was quite a productive weekend at my fave thrift/junk shop.

Lots of new projects to start and hopefully some will even get finished sometime soon!

Vintage playsuit

I finally got to do some sewing over the long weekend and look what I whipped up.It is from a vintage pattern mum picked up from an op shop and a vintage Sheridan tablecloth from my collection of vintage linens. At first I wasn't sure if I liked the style but now I am thinking it is pretty cute for a toddling tots summer outfit!
