How Could I Resist?

Hello my dears. Thank you so much for all of your kind and lovely comments on the Christmas trees. I can say the word now that it's November. Crikey this year has gone fast!

I can only share a few of my thrifty finds this week because the sun will not come out to play and we all know that lack of light makes terrible pics. I found some lovelies this week in charity shops and at the car boot sale. 

I am particularly loving this table cloth, still new in its packaging....


How could I resist those mushrooms?


So sweet.

Also sweet is this little dish with duck on it...


Less sweet but very pretty, I found my second piece of Cartlon Ware!



And my favourite find of the week is this oh so sweet knitted Humpty from the 1950's....



How could I resist him?

For more thrifty delights please see Apron Thrift Girls blog.

Thank you for dropping by.

  4. Oh Humpty brings back memories! There used to be a HUGE knitted one that sat on a shelf when I was at Nursery. I have very clear memories of it and always wanted to play with it when I went. My nan knitted me one for my birthday...have no idea where it went.....bin at some point I expect...boo hoo! Totally forgot about that until I read your post! Thanks for the memories!!!!

    Have a great rest of a day!

  7. Oh those are such Lovely Finds!! I am especially liking that tablecloth - it reminds me of a little slipper bag I had for infant school with a pretty little toadstool pattern on it.

    Humpty's great too!

    Love Julia x x x

  16. Aaaaw, Humpty is just gorgeous!

    LOl, yes as much as I love Kirstie she was pretty feeble at crochet, teehee. We'll give her the benefit of the doubt, maybe it was because she's left handed and was being taught by a right hander...maybe.
