A few recent thrifty buys

Hello

I don't have a lot to say really, I'm exhausted from working far too hard.  I did a 15 hour day yesterday and my brain has become jelly.  So instead I thought I'd display a few recent thrifty buys.

I couldn't resist this little crumb sweeper, not that I have a large banqueting table or anything.  


Another Koster and Murray purchase - with the pattern recently beautifully made by  Jeggings Does Vintage (a lovely blog that I have a feeling is going to be well worth a follow).





The cutest little china cat wearing a hat.  You can just see Marlon giving him a sniff.


 And another pretty feline thing - a beautiful piece of pin up art to go in my pink bathroom.  Isn't she a honey?

I also picked up a lovely little pink and grey slip.  So pretty.



And here is a pic of my boys being adorabubble, because, when I'm tired and stressed, these are the fellas that get me through and I love them dearly.  The little white one had "the snip" yesterday and so he looks a tad bedraggled, poor love.

    Beautiful cats! It looks like they get along well too - I'd love another but I think Miss Urchin is an only cat.

    Ahh. The snip. I did that to my Memphis the day he knocked over the Christmas tree and smashed all the baubles. Coincidence, you understand, but he has never gone near a Crimbo tree since.

    Nice sweeper!

    Great finds, but just shows how tired I was when I read your post as I mistook the crumb tray/ sweeper for a rather nice 1930’s bag! Plonker or what! Tups x
