Treasures

It's Sunday evening and I'm sitting in front of the heater watching Masterchef. It's been a while since I've linked up with Sophie's weekly flea market finds and thought what better time than after a weekend where I found some lovely treasures.

First find, inspired by the adorable Zara is this cute little milk glass trinket container. I now have four peices of milk glass so I guess I now have a collection? lol

I then picked up this hippy 70s top from a garage sale with a couple of other items. It's one that needs to be belted but looks like it has never been worn and is very unique.

On Friday while on my regular lunchtime trip to Vinnies I spotted this beauty in the fancy dress section. I happily handed over my three dollars and it has now been washed and awaiting its first outing. I think I might wear this to my auntie's seventies themed 40th birthday party in a couple of weeks ... if I can wait that long!

Finally, Black Caviar wasn't the only winner this weekend. I won this gorgeous trophy from a garage sale for three dollars and only realised that once I got it home and gave it a bit of silvo treatment that is in fact quite old! From 1939 to be exact. It is currently housing some of my favourite costume jewellery.

Hope you all had a fabulous weekend

 p.s. notice my new blog design? Big props to Felicity of Pursuit of Felicity - she was great to work with and I can highly recommend her work!

What I Wore Wednesday - 70s heaven

Saw this little beauty in Lifeline the other day while shopping with the husband and snapped it up quick smart. The price? $3.50! Beautiful fuchsia colour and straight from the seventies.

 

vintage maxi skirt, dotti lace top, target wedges, asos spike bracelet 

So looking forward to this weekend - a weekend with my bridesmaids in the country. It shall be a hoot.

Send-It-Forward ... a seventies beauty and Johnson : )

I recently was the lucky winner of Zara's send-it-forward gift and I'm very much looking forward to receiving it.

As a recipient, it is now my duty to offer some goodies up to the lovely blogger community. All you have to do is leave a comment at the bottom of this post telling me which item you'd like to receive and commit to offering a send-it-forward gift to another fellow blogger. It can be a crafted, thrifted or new item - it's up to you.

Easy, peasy!

Seventies Maxi Skirt

This seventies maxi skirt is more beautiful than words can describe!

It is in a thicker material so would be perfect for winter wear.

It has a reasonably small waist (estimate AUS sz 8) but could be easily altered. It falls to the floor.

I can see a lot of bloggers rockin' this skirt and I can't wait to see the recipient in it!

I'm happy to post this beauty world wide.

Retro Side Plates

The other item I'd like to pass on is four Johnson of Australia side plates. All plates have the same pattern and are in excellent condition. Unfortunately I will only post these within Australia.

Remember, all you have to do is leave a comment at the bottom of this post telling me which item you'd like to receive and why ...

Happy Friday friends xxx
