I found some great things for my collections at the Animal Welfare today....they have such great prices . I collect Portmeirion and I got a job lot of 2 jugs, 6 napkin rings, 3 pots and 2 large bowls in 2 designs I don't have for $20.

A lovely  antique Victorian blue flow Johnson Bros plate which I also collect

2 board games for $10- perfect for our holiday next week in the Adelaide Hills B &B  with a roaring log fire

A pretty storage pail for the bathroom

A  Target sofa throw for $5

This Weeks Thrift Finds

I was first through the door at the Animal Wefare shop this morning and spied this little beauty fairly quickly and heavens it's heavy

I found this lovely mid century large pottery vase at the Salvo's

100th Blog ......Weekend Finds

I am posting my 100th blog today and I can't believe it has gone so quickly...it's only been 6 months since I sat down to try and work out how it all worked.

Its been a whirlwind shopping day today ...op-shops, second-hand shops, and a Bed,Bath and Table Sale

I am a sucker for books with old bookplates and this old book was presented to the Dux of 1937

at St Catherines School...I couldn't resist it for $2

I love this old engraving  for $15...its very long in size

2 pieces from a half price sale at Bed Bath Table

A couple more books on flea market decorating to add to my growing collection

A new pair of Mary Jane Style shoes (RRP $219 ) Zeira/Kumfs  for $9.99 at the Salvos

Weekend Score

I found an early linen embroidered with lovely tatting baby pillowcase to add to my antique linen collection YAY!!!

Friday Find

I walked up to the Salvo's on my usual Friday morning trip and spied this grotty old cutlery box in the corner. I could tell straight away it was a very old oak box, and after checking the flatware inside I knew it was pre 1900 . I have a thing about old cutlery , and have a little collection to add it to. What a pity the brass crest is missing, and the box cracked as this Sheffield silverware was only made between 1880-1911

I can add it to the beautiful pearl handled antique knives I found at Anglicare for $1 each

and a 1930 fish set

Sunday Finds

I found these 2 rather worn globe money tins in a junk shop for a few dollars

This Weeks Finds

A Vintage case at Vinnies with a fitted interior and paisley lining (probably a man's travel case) for $5 and 4 pretty glasses which are a lovely aqua colour for $2 and a second hand book on flea market finds for $3 from a second hand book shop
