I have started 2011 with some of the latest thrifty finds and crafty delights for your viewing pleasure....
Welcome to a lovely set of pink mid-century drawers and a divinely weathered folding garden chair from the local church fete in December!
This baby was a grand $2 (yes, I wrote it right!), and the drawers were $10!
And holidays have seen me sewing cushions,
more cushions,
and more cushions!
Oh, and still amassing those doilies for bunting
(got my toes too - lol)
This little barkcloth beauty was amongst one lot!
Just picked this one up today - exquisite cotton sateen curtains from Jenny at the Camberwell Market - I'm in love (...with the curtains, not Jenny!)
and some more barkcloth for the stash :)
And last of all may I introduce Fishy and Goldie, the newest members of our little family. I won't be sewing these guys into anything soon. I like them just the way they are, as does Big Boy Too, who chose this for his sixth birthday present :)
So...I want this year to be the biggest crafty year ever for me!
I hope with all my heart that it is the year you want it to be too.
Happy New Year

Hi Irene, thanks for leaving a comment on my blog - you're obviously a lot braver at nailing things into the wall than I am!
Love your blog - the vintage doilie bunting is especially gorgeous!
Thanks!! That was such a nice thing to say to me Irene. Really appreciate it and you´re a lovely friend too!
You find so many cute things in your area of Australia and to very reasonable prices it seems! Love the drawer and the shabby chair, cant believe the prices!!
A very happy new year to my favorite australian blogfriend!
