Aqua on a gray day...

Have you ever had one of those days?

One colour stands out from the crowd?

Aqua was mine today....

I was looking for a small armchair to partner with one I already have. I wanted to buy 2nd-hand  but it wasnt to be, maybe next week.

These gorgeous bottles jumped out at me in one op shop, and for $2.00 each, how could I leave them?

Then in Target, I bought these pretty red glasses,I think they brighten up my shelf. 

Whilst waiting in line to pay...these pegs flew into my hand!

It was nice to have a day off, and buy random necessities....yes they were definitely necessary, hehe!

So the hunt is still on for a vintage chair, Im not in a hurry, Im sure it will jump out at me one day :)

Have a good week !

Flowers were picked from the garden before the storm...

Buried treasures and new collections...

Yes, as I dig down deep into my suitcases and cupboards, on this extremely warm Friday, I remember a couple of years ago, buying a gorgeous sari and wrap! I need to find them, I need to admire the fabric once more...Why, you ask? I found another one in my travels yesterday, and now I think I may have started another, yes another collection! They just come out of nowhere, I really dont ask for them, but what am I to do?

Yesterday's purchase!

There's something about saris, the fabric is devine, usually handsewn, and rarely two are alike. My first intentions when I buy them, is to cut them up and use the fabrics for some wonderful projects, but when I bring them home, I cant touch them! They are just beautiful, and may have been worn at a wedding, plus the hours of sewing....but what am I going to do with them? Bury them for another day....

A sari wrap buried away!


Buried treasure!

Yesterday,I found this cute hat to add to my collection! Well I dont really collect them ,they are just on display. I dont wear them, Id like to, but I just dont. So they sit up on my cupboard, collecting! My friend Jill has made me a hat, and it is in the mail as we speak, I cant wait to add it to my collection, and maybe Jill might convince me to wear them!!

In the past two weeks whilst out minding my own business, I practically tripped over a thermos or two, or three, and they are my kitchen colours...yep you guessed it, I have another new collection! What's going on? Here I am trying to do the right thing, Im doing a major cleanout at my house, Im so proud of myself, as you can imagine, it is very hard to part with alot of these things.But Im doing it, and yet, Im bringing back more into the home! They keep calling my name, Sue, Sue, we need you! I cant sleep at night!

So the only sensible thing I feel I have to do (to keep the guilty feelings at bay), is to sell the same amount of things I bring in....coming in....going out! So check out my side bar over the next few days, and I'll give you a glimpse of new additions to my Website and ebay store.

NOT...QUITE....FINISHED!!!

Ok, I must have been kidding myself, when I thought I could fit everything in to my daughter's old bedroom for my office...including a space for hubby!! Well, it's a challenge, but Im up for it! It just might take a bit longer than first thought!

Mmmmm, if I could just get to my sewing machine...do you like my sewing table? You probably cant see in the photos, but I have 8 suitcases under the bench on the right, full of fabrics! Im looking forward to creating in that department soon!I did say this room is mainly mine didnt I? This is hubby's corner, he just needs a dumping ground for paperwork! I ,on the other hand, need creative space, so Im more important!

As far as my studio goes, Im having the power connected next week, and then the fun begins, painting, cleaning....and then pricing, and decorating, and filling and....opening! Hopefully!Oh, and removing those possums! Im stressed, but very excited!

Here are a couple of my best buys for the week! Of course, they will have to stay here for a while, I need to make sure they will be suitable to sell! A few months should do it!
