And I couldn't pass up the opportunity to share my small thrifting finds today from the two Op shops in my little home town of Emerald.
A very cute old frame with a Parisian scene, a set of plated spoons beautifully presented in their original box from a now defunct store in Melbourne.
...and the thing I am very exited about!!
A Vintage 60's cotton playsuit/swimsuit in blue and white!
Label says it is an XSSW so quite a small fit (noNo! not to fit me..lol...)
Very clean condition but needs an iron. I couldn't wait to share!
The back.
I know... I get exited by the oddest things...story of my life :)What do you think Simone ~ Frame-able!!? ;)
Look foward to having you all enter my give-away.
Lots of thanks and best wishes ~ Irene x
