Pretty Finds and Washing Lines

Hi gals...I thought you all might be interested in the wonderful finds I have found over the last few weeks....alas though I have not found my XXL grey knit to adorn my red and pink roses too...but no sooner than I find it, I will be getting to work with it and showing you what I have created...don't worry about that!...its just its a little harder to pick up a larger size in the Charity shops around here! and especially a good (or used to be good!) charity shop in my local town, has now got a helper that is my size! What a cheek!!!

...and she seems to be morphing into my colours now too! Now I am all for inspiring peeps! but honestly! she should really leave the larger brighter clothing to me!....still  I will be catching her out with wanting this grey knit....she won't think that I will be after something grey! LOL! so I might stand a chance in there! hehehe!

Do you like my little brooch that I picked up, its soooo pretty isn't it and will look stunning in a pretty box with this rosy hankerchief...a perfect gift to send to my auntie! yes! I am starting to think of Christmas too!....don't get me wrong - although I am not a fan of winter...I do love Christmas! but I am starting to think about spending less this year and giving gifts of a vintage variety, which I am very good at picking up through the year :) I think it will make chrimbo this year more fun and traditional....not sure what the kids will think though :/

I also picked up this lovely pine shelf unit... that was just the perfect size to add some more material too! Oh yes it seems to be coming outta the woodwork lately - I never need to buy anymore material again! so please shout that to me when you see me hovering over some!

I also picked up this little green beehive string dispenser...which I love to pieces and these vintage annuals...OOoOoh I love them! Look 8-) all nice and tidy on my new shelf...I will paint it one day, but at the moment I am loving it this colour.

This deco print was purchased at a local bootsale too...although the bootsales around here are terrible now...as they are coming to the end of the season and no-one seems to have anything decent, so it was a pleasant surprise picking up this little beauty.

I have even managed to get this lovely Hydrangea for my winter garden....and what a lovely colour eh!

Oh and I must show you this piccy!  Fred took it actually! Its of a washing line of a neighbour, we have never spoken to them, but they have only ever put black on the line and then one morning TA DAA! this lovely array of colours appears...I hope thay have been inspired by our washing line! As I never hang black on the line and you can imagine the lovely colours, floral and shabby prints on my washing line can't you! Infact I know this sounds sad! LOL! but the little amount of black we have got I dry indoors...coz I think its a bad omen for the line! hehehe!...sunny lines make sunny days HA HA if only life was that simple!

Have a great weekend gals, Speak soon...

Love Happy x
