Yes, you see I found out that at the dump they have a shop to buy stuff and we really need a couch/chair something for this little room (formerly our offic) that we have made into reading corner. So ooff I went today (with Anthony and kids) to look at this place. Quite surprisingly, it was not too bad and I picked up a nice armchair for $10. So I brought it home and gave it a once over and it looks really great. (don't mind the cushions missing, they are on the line drying after a heavy duty hot wash). I got 6 old books for book corner too for a whole $1. I was very proud of myself for venturing to this new place, dumps/second hand shops etc etc. are just not my thing!
Here are the photos of my diary that I promised as well as my new pencil rolls (made out of placemats) and my pile of boo boo bags ready to be filled for market this weekend. I used some of my Sweet Vintage doilies to decorate my diary.
This is Matthew the whale, Little's friend, waiting to be sewn together.
