well our Gold Coast holiday is over with a big fat thud!....we had a ball. the weather was exceptionally kind, beach and pool visits every day and sunshiny umbrella cocktails each evening
the kids and the wife both very well behaved and i simply cannot recommend highly enough our accommodation. which was the towers of chevron renaissance. (im plugging them just because they were so great not because they asked)
there will be a holiday post later on....I really just wanted to say HI!
We had to do a supermarket run this morning so popped into the oppy as well ( or should i say it the other way around!)
oh by the way....I did not enter one oppy whilst on holidays!!....yes you heard it here folks. Miracles do happen and no it wasn't because I was always too drunk to drive!
this mornings finds were found without really looking...I swear!...all was on the sale table except the paper file wooden thing??...cant remember what they are called..ive always wanted one and for $5.00 she is mine.
yes no doubt you have spotted jesus!...isn't he dashing. more doyleys, more coat hangers and a tin with a duck on it. some vintage kids gear some fab vintage fabric and some more Johnson plates...friends, my op shopping fix has been had!!
Hi Max...did you miss me?

Looks like a beautiful place for a vacation! And that crocheted hanger is one of the prettiest I've ever seen.
ReplyDeleteWhat can I say........great finds, as always. Amen! xo
ReplyDeleteWhat a great welcome home you had! x
ReplyDeleteGreat finds - especially the wooden shelves for paper x
ReplyDeleteSure did darling, but delighted to hear you had an ace holiday and looking forward to seeing the ol' snaps.
ReplyDeleteand you've come back in style haven't you, with a right haul!
the wee dungarees are so cute! and those doilies and the coat hangers, sheesh the amount of work that went into them! I wonder if in 50 odd years the oppys will be full of vintage sheet bunting our generation made?!!
What a haul! Glad to hear the Fam had a great holiday too! What are you going to do with the dollies, saw a dollie curtain once....so pretty! X
ReplyDeletea friend is trying to convince me to make a bedspread with them??...I certainly have enough. x
DeleteAl I swear if we lived nearer to each other you'd have to lock up that wooden pigeon hole thing well away from me, I let one go ages ago and have lived to regret it! And those little overalls are too cute! So pleased everyone behaved on holidays including the weather, sounds like you had a beautiful time. Hope you don't crash down to earth too soon! xx
ReplyDeleteSo glad you had a good holiday and the weather behaved for you, this has been the most sun we have had in months. Cannot believe you did not opshop the coast! Great finds on arriving home though, love love love those embroideries. mel x
ReplyDeleteHope you are surviving the post-holiday slump (or is it just me who suffers from that? Perhaps it's the shedload of washing which has to be done that I find so depressing...) Sounds as though you had a brilliant time, and well done for sneaking in your op shop fix as soon as you got back! I can't resist old padded hangers either, love the wooden paper tray thingy, and Jesus is looking quite the poster boy, isn't he? Good to know he's sorting out some nice weather for you! xxxxx
ReplyDeleteA BIG welcome back Al, I missed you and your sprinklng of humour in my week!
ReplyDeleteOh, the timber filing shelf is a ripper; identical to one on my work-place desk many moons ago. I so much wanted to nick it when I left that job, but they knew where I lived! Those peachy-orange coat-hangers are very cute, but your best find was the Jesus picture - he looks very modern (and uber cool) with that carefully manicured fuzz - I wonder if he is a Gillette man? If you take away the fuzz, he might just pass as Daryl Hannah!

Glad you had a great holiday....fab finds too! :) x
ReplyDeleteWow that linen LOVE!!!
ReplyDeleteJustin only asked on the week-end if we had any 'nice' coat hangers...he needed them for a photo shoot... I should have sent him to you
ReplyDeleteThe linen is amazing!!! oh my gosh! yay for a lovely trip :)
ReplyDeleteHesus H. Christ, that is an impressive loot!! I adore the swan embroidered linen, the fabric and that file planner thingy was an out right bargain!. xx Tina
ReplyDeleteP.S sooo jealous about the cocktails/ holiday/ fun - glad you and the family had a wonderful time :)
sounds like a wonderful little holiday you all had.
ReplyDeleteThough this little op-shop haul would make returning from holidays that bit easier.
Love the doilies. The ones you sent me are amazing, the stitching is immaculate- front and back.
x
Omg yes whata stash...doily heaven and the letter box is wonderful!
ReplyDeleteJesus is kinda sexy, am i allowed to say that? doily heaven! I still have your parcel sat waiting to post....see i am uber crap when it comes to posting....you thought you were bad, you are a veritable whizz-kid in comparison! x
ReplyDeleteLove the doilies ... love the fabric ... what are you going to make with it??
ReplyDeletexx
Wow, some pretty amazing doilies. Love the swan one. Amazing finds, love love love xoxo
