Apologies for the absence, I am struggling with a shocking cold and feeling rather sorry for myself. So inbetween rustling up nursing batches of chicken noodle soup, I dusted myself down and took some photos of my latest thrifing goodness. I found this leather chair at the reclaimation yard and instantly fell in love with her. She is a little battered and bruised but has had quite a previous life, but that's the way I like it! Anyway, I plan to patch her up, maybe with some floral patchwork - I'm not sure yet, but right now I'm happy just to let her sit in my studio and offer some comfort and respite to passers by!
My little red suitcase, perfect for bears or books or just for display, and ....
Isn't she wonderful? A lovely friend tipped me off about this ol' gal being in a local junk shop. She's in full working order, has a wonderful 'ting' as the drawer flies open and even has old plastic money inside, a shilling and such like. Well, how could I resist?
So I have had quite a successful run of thrifting lately, and I STILL havent made it to one boot sale yet... I can' t believe it... maybe this weekend. Yes, I think I shall definitely make it to a boot sale this weekend!!
Have a great week everyone xx

You've really found some attractive and unusual pieces. Hope the cold gets better and that you have a good trip to a boot sale!

Love the till.I used to love playing shops as a child.I want to hear it go'kerching'!
The other week was my first trip to the car boot,it was raining and there were only about five tables there! I'm hoping this Sat will be a better turn out as the weather is looking really good!Looking forward to seeing your CB finds later!
