be still...













 
pics 1,2,3 and 4
 from our beach holiday.....water to the rescue
the hoofs are mine!...sporting a "saltie" tan.
5 to 12 are of two of my fave things....
roses and rust!
roses from mums garden....yep they smell delish!
and the rusty bit of fabulousness is an etsy purchase that of course I couldn't resist.
and lucky 13 is of a recent carboot market find....I have a thing for these vintage trophies and a few seem to be finding me lately. This little fellow says 1942 H Pugh....

  3. Love roses and rust too! Those roses are gorgeous, Al. What a mum you have:) Love the trophies you keep finding. Worn silver is cool. I'm very partial to it these days myself. x

  4. (Just jumped out of the pool myself and am sitting here in my wet togs.)
    Fabulous roses!
    Do I spy a Dame Elisabeth Murdoch?
    Miss my rose garden down south - I wonder what it is up to without me.
    But I've just started a new rose garden up here in the north - this one in pots.

    I have no luck finding old trophies, although I found a bewdie a couple of years ago;
    "The Samuel & Agnes Calvert Perpetual Memorial Cup
    Awarded every year from 1950 to 1987 for
    The Most Valuable Merino Ewe Fleece".
    A not very good photo here -

  10. I hope you are suitably refreshed after that fun beach holiday. How did old Silver hold-up to the demands of a family?
    Pretty, pretty roses .. hmmm, the perfume is wonderful! They look so much better on a laptop screen rather than an incy wincy smartphone which I've been stuck with for weeks.
    Now, Al, I will need resuscitation if I have to hold my breath much longer for your promised sharing of newly thrifted treasures. C'mon girl, put them out there for us all to get serious envy happening! XX
