look what i found..

been getting some MAJOR finds at the oppies lately.

these retro inspired kitchen scales for $8, this ca-ute ceramic butter dish (i think that's what it is?) .50 cents, and awesome metal bird bottle opener $6

some vintage sheets for my sister $3 & doilies $2

this awesome ring $15 & pair of milk glass vases $4

plus some bassinet & cot sheets for Nugget, and glassware & teacups for candles. Score! I should be pretty set for stock for a while...not sure how quick i'll be back trawling after babe is born. But i don't think it'll be too long before Nugget is an op shopping addict like his Mama.

Stay cute.

little golden book mobile

growing up, i read little golden books & had quite the stash. i had started a collection for nugget with 2nd hand finds & op shop bargains. but his stash has just become AMAZING after my aunt gifted me over 100 books. these were in fact my original collection from my childhood that i had passed onto my cousin.

this is only HALF of them, as i shared with my sister too....how lucky are we!

a few books are a bit worse for wear, but the pictures are so damn cute that they need to be seen....so some book lovers my cringe when i say this but......i've removed the pages & made them into paper aeroplanes. they are not totally desecrated...they have been given new life in Nuggets mobile.

pretty cool right? jord actually made most of it, as i officially suck at making paper aeroplanes. for the full mobile tutorial jump over here.

for more 'little golden book' love, head over to birdy popcorn & check out their love of kiddy vintage too.

Stay cute.

apologies in advance

for the poor photo quality. they were taken after midnight last night & were very rushed! so here are a few more pieces i made ready for stockists.

possibly the last batch i make before Nugget arrives. best i hit the op shops in the next few days & stock up on supplies.

Stay cute.
