5 Weeks and Counting

Only 5 weeks to go before we move to our rural retreat and the packing is a pain at the moment .I have started with china and crystal...more on that next week

I probably shouldn't be snooping around op shops but...I did visit the Salvo's and the Animal Welfare during the week

 

An ironstone tureen for my collection for $3

 

 

 

 

A little aqua tinted industrial style vase for $1

 

 

 

 

 

My find of the week was a Carter's Antique Price Guide fro 1986. I have never seen one in an op shop before , only collectable bookstores as they appreciate in value.

I saw this for $3.99 and is worth about $150-170

 

 

 

 

We were driving around yesterday and saw a gorgeous home ware/gift shop with 70% off . There were heaps of people squeezed in grabbing stuff and Mr VL grabbed 2 items ...a lovely tall carved candlestick and a cute tea light holder. I would have loved 2 of the candlesticks

 

 

 

 

 

 

One hour after this "butter wouldn't melt in my mouth" pic Sascha stole a bunch of grapes out of the fruit bowl and rolled them all around the family room ARGGHHH
