Lots of new (old) Treasures!!

Things have been getting super creative and inspired around here the last few days, I feel like I don't have enough time to sit down each night and blog about it! I'll endeavour to share what's been happening creatively as much as I can though, so watch this space.... there may be a few more blog posts in the coming days!!!

Before you read on, please feel free to enter my giveaway!!!!! Thanks to everyone who has already entered. To check out the giveaway prize and enter your name into the draw, please check out the post before this one.. (if I knew how to make a link to another post, I would! But my technological skills are still somewhat limited...if anyone would like to tell me how to do it, please do!)

Much treasure hunting has been going on in the Coleman household of late, thought I'd once again share my newest finds, linking up with the Blackbird has Spoken's Op Shop Show Off.

sweet little jumpers for little Miss...
 
We think this is a retro bin! Well, that's what everyone on Instagram told me!
 
 Pretty floral fabric
 
a pretty vintage Stationary set (untouched!!) I've been using it for letter writing already, love it!

Brown. Yellow. and Orange. Floral. Towel. Yes.
 
 Not sure exactly what this is, but was delighted to come home from work to find that Mr. Coleman had bought it for me!
 
a wrap skirt for me! (this was 20c in a box of aprons, but it's definitely a skirt!)

cute bag
 
 love these colourful hanging things, we're not sure what they're meant to be used for, but we like hanging our tea cups from them!

My parents had one of these stools. Good times. I remember fighting with my brothers over it!
 
 We really do love London, so had to buy this 50c bag!

Sometimes you have to buy something, even if you're uncertain as to whether there is any real need for it or not. Hence, my new cassette tape belt!
 
And more books. One thing you can never have too many of I say! (not sure Mr Coleman agrees, poor guy, being married to a book worm and all!)
 
Hope you enjoy all my Op shop (Charity Shop) finds form the past two weeks. We never spend much on all this stuff, nothing would be more then a couple of  bucks at the most. I also scored three bags full of clothes from some friends who were decluttering and about to get rid of stuff this week, so feel very blessed by the amount of nice things coming my way at the moment. In some other exciting news, last week my lovely sis in law Taz had  a photo of her very pretty kitchen dresser featured in Mollie Makes most recent Gathered issue. We were pretty excited that her little kitchen down under got a look in!!  Head on over to her blog to see the pic and tell her congrats!

  13. Ooh, orange in the kitchen, with both the tea cup holders and the bin...used to store onions and potatoes maybe? The brighter the kitchen. The better I say!
