Also if I remember some readers in Melbourne might be looking for a Bar Cart?

 This listing says "Tea Trolley" in the title... No Bar Cart in the title at all! I had never thought of searching "Tea Trolley".

Curate {Etsy Shop}

It is no secret that I enjoy the thrill of a good thrifted find! I do however realise that some people find it hard to see the potential in pieces found in thrift stores.

Among the many fabulous vintage stores selling antique thrifted finds is an online store named Curate by {Evie of Post College Working girl}

A shop of shopping shall we?
Vintage lucite serving tray with horses
This tray is such a neat vintage items with its twisty lucite handles and lucite body and etched glass tray. The horses are frolicky and so cute! This would make a great gift for a wedding, shower, or birthday!

Stacked Bird Salt and Pepper Shakers
Perhaps the most curious salt and pepper set I have ever come across. The top two birds are for salt and pepper and the bottom bird, who comes with a spoon and has an open top, is for sugar or whatever else you would like. The salt and pepper shakers have a removable piece of cork on the bottom to put in the salt and pepper. A little bit of the gold detailing has faded on the top bird over time but I think it only adds to the vintage charm. Made in Japan.

LARGE Black Elephant
This textured pachyderm has so much charm and charisma it is hard to not fall in love with his coy little smile! He is made of plaster and has some spots of wear, but I think it just adds to his character. His trunk is playful and creates a sense of movement when you look at him. He is about the size of a large, tall house cat, and actually frightened my dog when I set him in my hallway! He is not as heavy as he looks. Would be great in a garden or in the home!

Blue Glass log dish

This lovely blue glass log dish is the perfect size for your desktop or table to hold anything from pins, paper clips, and business cards to candy, sugar, or salt. It has little cut off branches for legs and has knobby protrusions on it's side that are spotted on the wood, or faux bois, pattern. This would make for a great gift as well!

I am lusting over the Lucite Tray!

Thrifted Find {Parisian fashion prints}

As Mr Goodwill Hunting has advised it sometimes Pays when thrifting to walk around the store more than once, especially if they are putting good out on the shelves. I just happened to be looking lurking around the frames when the salesperson put a set of 4 matching frames out on the shelf.

I paid a mere $2 Each!

Yep, A total of $8 for a little Parisian influence in my dressing area. 

The colours go perfectly with our master bedroom:



Does anyone have any great thrifting tips?

Drawing photo fun! {Our House}

I had no idea my new camera had a "Juno Inspired Drawing" photo feature, it makes even the untidiest of rooms look amazing! hehe Do you have a box on the floor or pillows out of place like me? no worries! you wont even see it (Unless I just pointed it out).

Almost as cool as the Movie!

If you were wondering what Camera I have, It is not super fancy but so easy to work and it goes under water Olympus "Tough" TG810.

Purple floors {House Hunting}

The title says it all so I will let the pictures speak for themselves....

Thoughts people??

I wont be at the Auction (not my style), however if you are interested go Here for further details.

If your eyes hurt a little from the above images I will leave you with a little Kitchen Perfection! Via Here

$3 Frame Makeover {Chalkboard}

I purchased this frame super cheap from a thrift store ($3) purchased purely for the bones of the frame, frangipanis are not my style (I think the herds of cars with windscreens plastered in stickers might have something to do with it).

I gave the frame two coats of Glossy White paint (already had) and the frangipanis were painted over with two coats of Chalkboard paint (available from any hardware store).

We now have a little spot in the Kitchen to write messages. I wonder if anyone can figure out what is happening in our family this week from my little scribble drawing.
