Goodies at the op-shop

 

Ok, so no prizes for picking the common theme here, I didn't even realise everything was orange until I got it all home...Favourites would definately be the orange/charcoal crochet lap blanket, very very sweet. I'm also loving the handmade beanie on Hannah's head, which is a perfect fit (I actually picked up a blue one too). Gorgeous orange (there's that word again) lace, apron, fabric and ball of wool. But the favourite of all are the shoes, exactly my size, unworn .... and ....only $5... Funnily I had spied an identical green pair in a magazine sometime ago, and have been on a green shoe hunt ever since.  I'm still looking for green, but am thrilled to have the orange pair now

Here's another shot without the busy toddler

Onwards and upwards I also found an entire catalogue of Golden Hands CRAFT magazines, in a white folder. As well as a whole heap of regular Golden Hands magazines individually. All this vintage crafting goodness is a bit overwhelming actually, I don't know what to start with first. The pictures inside are so wonderfully, very very seventies!! - and lastly a fresh lime woollen jumper...happiness!!
