Flea Market Finds

Well, I'm back, baby!

Another bit of big news I've neglected to share is I've left one of my jobs! My permanent job, that is, at an Early Parenting Centre. Time to move on and all that, I will stay on casual, but don't want a set routine as much anymore.

Sooooo......I'm staying casual at the council job (wearing the fluro jackets haha) and have already been booked for the next few weeks as a 'reliever' ie I walk in, see heaps of mums and babies and then out, responsibility minimal and enjoyment factor MASSIVE!

Today I was at a far away centre, and went I went out to get some lunch, I found a big oppy I hadn't been in before. Can't stop me...

I actually went in for some chairs, I need some cute ones for desk and sewing cabinet, as I dining table-ess at the mo. Here's what I found instead....

(to go on a bag, of course)


(sheets and doona covers....AND a Sesame street pillowcase so I have the whole set!)

( does anyone love this guy as much as me? Even though he has no pants?)

(what an amaaazing sheet, so much potential!)
I figured I'd been so good with my chucking out, I could indulge, especially at their prices! Check out these guys.
Oh, and someone I HAVE to mention, for giving me such a great rap! We met over at an op shop blog....
Head over here for more finds...I'm sure my days are screwed up, but what the hay!

I didn't realise that you'd never been to that one before. Another thing I like about the Lighthouse Op Shops is that they sell chocolate (which of course means that you can op shop for even longer).
PS - I think we all love Humphrey just because he has no pants...hee hee

That lot should give you all the inspiration you need to get back in the sewing room and forget about those boxes for a bit. Enjoy

Yay, good for you for making such a big job decision that will end up suiting you so much better. And the oppy finds were there to show you you made the right decision. LOVE those sheets.

Oh. Yeah.

Vintage linen awesome-ness. I likey, I likey quite a lot. ;)

I used to love H.B.B when I was wee - until the horror of my dog chewing the nose off my Humphrey bear... then I kinda blocked him out... ;)
