Hello Vintage Friends near & far....!
As always, I hope this post finds you well & HAPPY....! I'm running around like a blue arsed fly at the moment....With ONLY 7 x sleeps to go until opening day, I'm in the process of swapping my ORGANISER hat for my SPECIALIST vendor hat & if I thought I was busy before....I am SERIOUSLY under the pump now....!!
The living area of Casa De SVJ looks like a bomb went off....I have painting projects, sewing projects, pieces of furniture clamped waiting for glue to dry, pompoms hanging EVERYBLOODYWHERE....Oh & lets not forget the string of Parisienne stained price tickets hanging the ENTIRE length of the room....!
Needless to say....Yesterday I took the opportunity to escape for a few hours into the city to visit with my LOVELY Friend Daniel from the Red Brick Barn for a cuppa & a chat before heading down to Brunswick & Smith Streets to hand out flyers for the Show....THEN....As a reward for all my SPRUIKING efforts....I visited a FEW Op-Shops on my return journey....hahahahahaha....And here are my YUMMY Treasures....!!!
Doesn't this pile just SCREAM HAPPY....
I know my GORGEOUS Friend Bec over at Naughty Shorts! would have LOVED to have been with me when I discovered these DIVINE sheets....! Between the two of us....We have QUITE the collection....!!I've NEVER seen one of these maths charts....I've seen the spelling chart for sure but NEVER one of these...At $2.00 I'm happy to say SCORE....!!
I have a feeling Bec would make a DIVINE TEA DRESS or two out of these BEAUTIFUL sheets....!!
Oh & these too would make GLORIOUS TEA DRESSES....Aren't they just DELICIOUS....!!
When I picked these green glass cups & saucers up I thought they may have been Pyrex or Fire King....But NO....They're FRENCH....**sigh**....Just need a soak in Napisan & they'll be PERFECT....!
And last but by NO MEANS least is this FABULOUS wallpaper which reminds me of my FAVE designer, Orla Kiely & I can't wait to use it....!
Well Friends I MUST FLY....I'll be back shortly to introduce you to some of our Specialist Vendors....!!
Cheers for now,
Tamarah :o)

ReplyDeleteOh I am loving those sheets too.And yes NS will be jealous in a good way of course.
ReplyDeleteAt least you have a good reason for looking like a bomb went off ... I have a dining table covered with vintage stuff for no good reason other than I don't feel like lugging it downstairs. Love your posts -- "a blue arsed fly" -- makes me laugh!
ReplyDeleteGreat finds!
ReplyDeleteAnd what a whirlwind you're in right now- but I bet you're loving every minute!
SCORE!! Great finds! You do need a reward. Well I am practically ready for the big day I am proud to say. Am just finishing packing everything (have some delights ready for the bags too!) You should be well proud of me ha!! ;0))

ReplyDeleteI have to admit, I kind of want to see a picture of Casa de SVJ in it's current state!
Your excitement is contagious!
ReplyDeleteYou do know we ALL want to be there.
Remember to take a bit of time and care for yourself throughout this whole process.
Then make us more envious with pictures galore.
Love your Math track game. I had not seen that or the spelling one in decades. What a flashback!
