What else is there to do on a Saturday....
I've been trying so hard not to go op shopping - I really have! This morning we were meant to go to a Garage Sale but when we drove past it was deserted. I took another look at the sign and it says 2-5pm - pretty cool time for a garage sale, don't you think? So, we've come home for a cuppa before we walk around there (it's just a few minutes walk away). BUT
How could I resist these?
Unknown man (any ideas???), The Infanta Maria Margarita by Diego Velazquez and Lady Hamilton by George Romney
I now need to find a special spot to house them. Shouldn't be hard because they are very small!
A wooden stool for sewing (instead of using a dining chair) which should work out fine considering I spend very little time actually sewing - the most time consuming part being the preparation.
Not really my thing but I felt sorry for it. Someone has obviously lovingly made this for a baby and the Salvos were selling it for $1 - I'm sure I will find it a home.
Elijah got the bargain today $1 for a box of Betta Blocks - doesn't really need them but at least he didn't feel left out.
Best thing is they fit ordinary Lego - yay!
I also came away with a pile of fabric - nothing too exciting though. There were a few trinkets there today which I would have liked but I was strong! Just because I liked them didn't mean I needed them.
Ooh look at that, it's almost 2pm - Garage Sale time!
ETA - we're back! Well the garage sale was a bit of a fizzer. Mostly clothes so I grabbed an armful, paid my $5 and walked home. Most of the clothes I plan to cut up and use the fabric. There are a few things that I'll keep aside for Elijah - some Guess jeans and a windbreaker for kindy. If I were a size 8 like the lady selling the clothes I'd probably wear some but I'm not!
this photo is not blurry - it's your eyes :P
That baby blanket is so cute, I could never in a million years manage to knit something like that, $1 is a bargain! I'm pretty sure mum had a little framed print just like one of those when I was a kid, might even have been the same as the man one, or very similar.
