thrifty delights

my heart skipped a beat when i spied this box
in my favourite charity shop earlier this week!

ooh a little red riding hood option

yeah!

an absolutely perfect pedigree patch doll!

*******
next thrifty find was a
a truely fantastic coat

shame i'm too "rounded" for it!

i'm thinking this is rather steam-punky

and could be made more so with a change of buttons
and maybe some victorian black lace added

*******
last but not least
a very sweet vintage Sindy

she has seen better days to be honest
has been to a rather scissor happy hairdresser
and has nibbled feet and a snapped knee

but she's very pretty
and i'm guessing she was a ballerina Sindy
as she is elastic strung

*******

some excellent finds this week
what did you thrift this week?

thrifty finds. . . .

i've found lots of lovely things in the last couple of weeks
the silhouette is a needlework kit
not started with a frame and all the threads too :o)

some very very funky cats eye shaped glasses
a very old school reading book of Annancy stories

i had a quick check to make sure it wasn't rascist as so
many books with black characters of this period are
before reading the first story to my son

i love the illustrations and the story

a bag of vintage stamps these were my favourites
i love space stamps

nice medallion - i guess you would've had it engraved

me in the "Aunty Thelma glasses"
my Aunty has always worn this style of glasses
so i had to get them!!!!

the lenses are sooooo strong!
*****
i also found a vintage tea set one bowl short of complete
in a blue rose pattern very 50's
it had
6x cups/saucers
6x tea plates
6x larger plates
and
5x bowls
shame i have nowhere to display it or store it!!!

ahhh happy thrifting :o)
