flea market finds...

Still super rainy in Sydney, BUT, I still managed a wet and windy walk to my local Vinnies. And the 50% store wide sale is still on! Gold! So I picked up;


This serving dish (what's the correct name for these things again?) It's a bit ostentatious, but I think it's pretty, plus the glass dishes are oven to table and it's made in England like me. I'm hosting a dinner party on Tuesday night. Must make some side dishes so I can put this thing to use!

This ice bucket. I think it's original. It seems so. And I like the cars. I'll use it for the wine on Tuesday. Cos it will match that silver platter perfectly won't it! Hmmm....my house is just a collection of things I love, nothing matches. I have every taste from every era covered!


This letter rack. Just cos I thought it was cute.
Along with all of the above, I got some Liberty of London slippers (brand new in carry case), 2 necklaces, one bracelet, 2 shirts and it all came to $25! I bundled it all on the pram and rattled my way home in a euphoric state indeed!
Pop over to Sophies for more found treasures!
