Game of Tennis Anyone?

Thought I'd share with you all a couple of the many goodies I've picked up over the last week or so at my favourite kind of outlet - an op shop or garage sale.



First up, is a dressmaker's model snapped up at a garage sale for five dollars yesterday. It is the perfect accompaniment to the sewing machine that mum and dad bought me for my birthday : )
(now I just need to figure out how to use it!)




The other super special item is an old tennis dress with the sweetest peter pan collar and little tennis appliques. It was three dollars from Lifeline and all it needs is a bit of napisan action to bring it back to life. I hope to wear it in winter with tights although it looks a little short.

Pop on over to Sophie's to see lots of other thrift action.
