In the tradition of keeping it simple stoopid 
(this was frequently scribbled on my high school english lit essays btw!)
this post is going to be less about telling and more about showing...

Here are the rest of the goodies I bought at Sunday's jumble:
these were all from the twenty cent table!
the green dish is made in England

now that I am a practioner of the gentle arts...cough cough, a little sewing box like this will come in very handy...
I can keep all my notions and fripperies inside!

lovely cushions...one dollar each, pricey but nicey*
top barkcloth, others Rowe Australia
*by jumble sale standards

 this mug was twenty cents
magic mushrooms

I bought vases
Japanese

English, Crown Devon

ceramic class 1978

(Only a couple more gratuitous vintage sheet quilt pics to go...)

I bought trays
china tray

wicker tray, plastic tray

tin souvenir tray
and even a
folksy tray

I bought rammikens
our first oval rammikens...
don't you love those colours!

And I bought this sweet Soulet print
it will go quite nicely with our other Soulet's*
tiny wee little Soulet's
(not from the jumble but I wanted to show you anyway...)
* I'm making them sound like Rembrandts! Ha!

 And that's it I'm jumbled out. The rest of my haul didn't quite reach the dizzy heights of the T H Brown barstools but it wasn't too shabby either was it...

Just a tea towel and a post box (!) to go.

Here's the tea towel


And here's our closest post box...

for Liz

pretty old for a West Australian post box
pretty old for an Australian post box actually!

I told you I'd take a pic x

And that's all folks!

  1. Kylie, I swear you must have been born with some serious elite bargain hunter lineage about you! I'm always marvelling at how much you can get for so little when you go on an Op-Shopping mission :-D

    The ramekins are utterly fab I'd be so tempted to make mini shepherd's pies or pasta bakes in them. Or oval Creme Brulee!
