Hello, I hope that you are having a good weekend.
My thrifting has been a wee bit on and off recently. I haven't been to the Car Boot Sale for a couple of weeks because it has been cold and rainy and that means that many of the sellers stay away.
So instead I have a few things to share with you that I found over the summer. I do have lots more but the greyness that has surrounded us around here is making it rather difficult to take any good pics. I would like to apologise in advance if a couple of these are a wee bit blurry, I did my best.
This sweet little book with the inscription - Catherine, with love, 1925.
A Sylko thread box complete with threads.
A gorgeous Simplicity pattern for making adorable animals. I really do wish that I could sew well.
Two teacups, sadly missing their saucers. I love the forget me nots.
And this little pink flower dish.
Hopefully during the week the sun might show its lovely face and I will be able to take some more pics.
For more thriftyness call into Sophies.
Edited to add that I have also linked to Thrift Share Monday
and Southern Hospitality.

ReplyDeleteNice finds there Emma, gorgeous book and love the toy sewing pattern! Hope the sun is shining , have a great week! x
ReplyDeleteThe Sylko thread box brings out the green eyed monster here, looks a wonderful find. Going back I thought the colours you used in your throw looked great, beautiful shades all together.

ReplyDeleteI didn't realise that you live in the UK! In most opshops here there seems to be heaps... my issue is having too many and not enough time to make them all :(
ReplyDeleteGreat finds!
ReplyDeleteBeautiful tea cups -- I love those spool labels, too!
ReplyDeleteLovely things especially those tea cups. Lucky you.
ReplyDeleteWonderful finds, esp. the vintage pattern and thread. And don't worry with that type of pattern you don't have to be good at sewing make it special. I'm a novice myself and still have a long way to go. :)
