I find when I go out junking, Im never really looking for anything in particular, things usually jump out at me if they want to come home ...but sometimes the strangest things happen.I'll see something, lets say a 'teaset', and it will be so adorable, that I cant leave it, but then ,suddenly I come across another one, equally adorable! What can I do, but buy both the sets!!
For the rest of my day, teasets seem to stand out from anything else,in all directions, and I dont collect them, but when you are on a roll...I suppose that is how most of my collections started.
I believe', if you keep finding the same things whilst out fossicking, that just maybe, you are meant to have them...it's a sign!
Ok, I know what you are thinking, the obsessiveness of collecting has gotten out of control, but is there any other explanation? It happens to me alot, but I suppose you have to be sensible occasionally, and ignore the 'signs'.
They are so cute though, maybe I'll be strong and put them on ebay soon, well eventually!
Here are a few other items I will be listing soon.
These oil lamp bases are just gorgeous, and might live here for a little bit.
Such a pretty platter, it looks so nice there!
I love this, have been looking for one for ages, needs a clean up.
These stools were a great find, and I just need to finish prettying them up!
This is so shabby chic, just devine! Single bed quilt.
On to a different subject for a minute....
My Cocker Spaniel,Toby, needs to have us in his sight constantly, he is a real peoples dog, and he thinks we are here for him, and only him! So the minute we go out the back door, he is there, with a toy in his mouth, ready and waiting.But what is so funny is he is battling to see inside the glass doors, I have a few bits of junk there,shock, horror, so they are blo
c
king his view. Every time I turn around to see him, he is in a different position, on a chair, on his bed, under a table! There isnt much space for him, it is a bit of a maze!These photos were taken in order, getting his toy,barking at me to play, ignoring me cause I told him to stop barking! So cute, he spent the afternoon at the groomers getting shampoo, cut and blowdry, so handsome! I like to sometimes use different things for props around the home, just because...thought I'd share a few with you...
Baby scales to nurse my rolling pins... An old grater to hold my fruit bowl/ strainer.
An old meat slicer, to display glassware, and more fruit. More old scales...
