Before I begin my Saturday Finds post I would like to say a BIG THANK YOU for all your messages of encouragement & enthusiasm for my Junk....I can't tell you how it makes me SMILE to have you drop in & say HI....It really has been such a THRILL for me to find a community of like minded people & I'm looking forward to sharing many more junkin' adventures with you....As a matter of fact, Mr SVJ has a digital video camera & I have plans to show you some VERY interesting....STUFF....hahahahaha....!!
Well it was a wet old day here in Melbourne & I spent the majority of it on the road looking for Treasures....Mind you....When I left the house this morning, I was JUST going to 'do' the op-shops in my local shopping strip & head back home to tackle all the washing of junk, fixing of junk & storing away of junk that I'm behind on....However, as my deck outside which is the ONLY place I can carry out MOST of these activities is UNCOVERED, when it started raining cats & dogs I was provided with the PERFECT excuse to continue on with my Thrifting Adventures....hahahahaha....!
Behold my bounty.....Remember you can click on my pics to make them bigger.... :o)

Well that's it for me TODAY....I'll be back tomorrow with the Sunday Wrap Up....I have my fingers & toes crossed the HR gods are smiling down on me....HEAVEN knows where I'm going to put any more stuff....Maybe I should be wishing the STORAGE GODS were smiling down on me....hahahahahahaSNORT....!!
Wherever you are, I hope your weekend has been enjoyable thus far....!!!

Congratulations on the new little girl! Always fun to see what treasures you bring home. I'm with you on the storage gods, clean them up then where to put them all?! Do you have goo gone over there? Don't know what I'd do without it here.
