thrifting is grand

Welcome!
Thrifting is one of my favourite things to do on a spare day.  I love hitting the op and charity shops, finding treasures and thinking of ways to repurpose items.  I feel like every time I do visit one of these shops I at least leave with one or two knick-knacks with me.  Below are some of my favourite finds and I think they describe a bit of my eclectic taste.  :)

When my nephews saw the cloud pillows I had made for my bed, they wanted me to make some for their beds.  They picked their own material and were keen to help with the stuffing.  When I saw them laying with their pillows on the couch I knew those pillows would be used to an inch of their lives!

Busy as a bee..

It has been a really busy week for me this week.  I work full-time but found the time to get out and visit some places I have been wanting to visit and finally get back to.

Fort Coffee has been on my to-do list for ages.  Fort is located at North Lakes, Queensland and I have heard all kinds of wonderful things about their coffee and comics!   I love that the ceiling was covered in superhero comics, and pendant lights hang in groups.  Fort has a great atmosphere and the coffee is pretty darn good too!

I love heading to Maleny Queensland, it is a cute town with a funky main street full of quirky and quaint shops with heaps of places to eat!  I am kind of ashamed to say that I have never ventured from the main street until now… There is a beautiful community garden one street down from Maple Street (main st) and it seemed that while everywhere else in the state is dry and brown Maleny seems to be blooming!

Pom poms!    It has to be a case of the name suiting the item to a tee.  I have been making some poms this week and experimenting with different lengths and sizes.  I will add grey to the mix and make a pom pom garland for my bedhead.  Pom poms are brilliant for decorating with garlands, in bunches or adding a cute touch to a present.

I love animals dressed like humans.   Animals have such character that it almost seems right to see them dressed up.  I found these cute cards in Maleny at Rosetta Books and have some little plans for them!  They almost look yearbook-esque with the sweet far away looks on their faces.   I will post when they are complete!

This little cutie patootie I found at Typo for $5.  He looks hand carved and is a pen!  Just had to share :)


Hope you have a great week!
