Op Shop Finds - A Lesson in Looking Up

This week I was in one of my favourite op shops, looking through the shelves and about to walk away, when I looked up. And there, all by itself on the top of the shelves sat this Weet-Bix tin. Yep, I gave a little yelp out loud and grabbed it! It's not old, old (from the early 1990's I think) but I love it. You may remember my felt Weet-Bix? Yes, I will need to do a new photo shoot using this as a prop:)



On the same shelves (eye level) I found this black tole tray. I collect tole trays of all sizes and shapes so this will be  lovely addition.


And what would a trip to the op shop be without a few book? I found this hard cover Enid Blyton classic from the 1970s. It's a little worse for the wear but I had to have it. I also found the little cowboy book printed in 1967. My oldest is past the cowboy stage at age 10, but I am sure there will be some little cowboys somewhere in my future:)


To see more fun finds from the last week be sure to visit Flea Market Finds at Her Library Adventures. Happy Op Shopping! Cyndy Pin It

My Place and Yours: Green

My initial thought when I saw the theme for this week's My Place and Yours meme at Punky and Me was "I don't have anything green!" And then I walked from room to room with my camera, and you know what? You guessed it, I have a lot of green! Here are some of my favourites:


Part of my vintage tole tray collection (mine are all from the 1940s and 1950s)...


Lily of the valley plate on the wall...


Bedside tables (yes, there are two of them and I LOVE them:)...


Vintage tole crumb catcher (from 1950's) on dresser (painted by me 15 years ago)...


Crayons waiting to be melted...

If you want to play along or see some green at other places you can visit here! Cyndy

PS I am really hoping somebody has a Kermit the frog at their place:) Pin It
