Spring Thrifting and Koala Spotting

A couple of finds from the 2 main street charity shops

A sweet silver plate and bakelite dish for $1







A gorgeous old  FalconWare jug $5




Over at the neighbour's having coffee I was given 3 identical birdbaths for FREE.

This is one still in situ and I will take some pics when they are installed in our garden







While I was there we had a bit of excitement....a young male koala climbed over her back fence, and casually climbed up her gum tree. 








He's still there and will probably come across to my gum tree which is HUGE!









Speaking of huge...one of my girls laid this huge egg. I haven't cracked it yet but I bet it's a double yolk!!

  2. The birdbaths will fit right in amongst your beautiful garden beds.
    We get the odd huge egg too. It'll be interesting to see if it's a double yoker.

  7. Oh, I see beautiful foxgloves!! I can never get mine to come back the next year. The trees and everything is just so beautiful and how cute is that Koala Bear?! When I was little Koalas were my favorite animal and I had a little collection of them on my desk.
    Thanks for sharing all that beauty and cuteness with us!

  8. I can't imagine seeing a koala in the wild, and I'm keeping my fingers crossed that the large egg is a double yolk! Best wishes from me in southeastern North Carolina as we are getting ready for fall. Today was our first "cold" snap. It will probably get warmer before it starts getting cooler.

  13. Love your vintage goodies and those three bird baths....I'll take them!! We only see koalas in the zoo, how fun that you can be sitting right there in your neighbor's yard and just see them in the wild. So cute!!! Thanks for sharing at VIP.
