We had a great time down at The Finders Keepers last weekend. We set up shop in a lovely (huge!) new venue at the Australian Technology Park.

I had plates, coffee cups, brooches, stud earrings and even little knitted headbands on offer.

I shared a big stall with the other bunny lady, Kirbee Lawler, who I met and befriended this time last year at the winter Finders Keepers.

Recent Vintage

24 April 2013

I’ve had a bit of luck lately at the op shops, mainly because I’ve been making a huge effort to duck into them as often as I can. I picked up a pile of vintage doilies.

This adorable turtle art smock!artsmock

Several granny rugs, this one is such great colours.grannyrug

And a plethora of vintage dresses, a few of these were hiding in my old wardrobe at mums place!dresses

And one of my very favourite things to find, a couple of great coloured vintage belts!

And last but not least, I’ve been a little cape-obsessed coming into winter. This adorable fluffy little blonde number was too cute to leave behind! Fake fur of course. Kxcape

Hexy Cardy

17 April 2013

One of the things I look forward to most about winter is rugging up in lots of layers and pulling out my favourite woollen scarves, socks and cardigans. Every year mum takes on a new winter knitting project, and this year I suggested a hexagon cardigan, inspired by this amazing Tiny Owl Knits Beekeeper quilt I’ve had my eye on for a long time.

And here is what she came up with, in record time, in ALL my favourite colours.

It is beyond good, right? Every now and then the hexies feature florals, bows, cute little animals and even a little skull on my sleeve. I cannot believe how beautifully it turned out. Now I’m REALLY willing the cooler weather to hurry. Kx

 

Little White Rabbit

My new little tokissi arrived last week! I pre-ordered her so long ago I almost forgot she was coming!

She’s a little bit cute!

I think I like her best because she’s so pastel and pretty. She even has pink eyes! I also chopped off my mint green middies’ hair this weekend and now I like her much more. Next I think I’ll customise her face. Kxmiditok
