thrifty finds


Salt and Pepper Shakers ( needing a bit of clean) a gift for my aunt I think who collects blue and white china, another gnome for the garden, a tiny little swan pitcher ( almost bear size,)
2 lovely yellow cups and and a bear cup
and a Bunnykins bucket - perfect for bears to play in, from my local "favourite people" Op shop. I love the ladies in this one so much.
But the find of the week did not come from any Op shop, Garage Sale and didn't cost me another.

I found this Bread Tin, up in my mum and dad's attic. It's only fault is it doesn't close. I think I'll be going up into that attic a bit more....
Hope you having a nice Sunday and last day of summer/winter, where ever who might be.

Get into that attic and see what else is hidden there - quick smart! I think your gnome looks like he might be a bit of a party animal so you may need to keep your eye on him!

Oh, I like the bread bin too, reminds me of my Gran's. I'm sure you'll put it to good use - too nice to hide in an attic!

that bunnikins bucket is a fabulous find! i have a few pieces that were given to me as a baby that my dad has stashed away somewhere. i might have to get them off him and put them up on display
