The Time has Come....

We move to a country town in a few days and life will never be the same! I won't have internet access for a week ...I can't believe it takes that long to reconnect in this day and age....so this will be my last post for a couple of weeks.
I made my last visit yesterday to my 2 fave op shops, mainly to donate HEAPS of stuff and I found 2 fantastic finds and I did a little dance outside the shop!!
 
This gorgeous 50/60s  Airport white case  was only $5 and the inside is beautiful
I LOVE IT!!!!
 
 
 
 
 
 
I have started collecting milk glass and I found this lovely piece for only $3..it's always hard to find these days
 
 
I must say  the long suffering Mr VL is less than thrilled I bought these, when are finally packed up and living amongst stacks of towering boxes at the moment
 
I did manage to change the handles on the 1970's bedside tables told you about last week
 
 
BEFORE
 
 
 
AFTER
 
 
 
 
Oblivious to the chaos!
 
See you in a couple of weeks

  14. Your whites are glamorous!!!Great prices--maybe all those boxes you donated will help make room for all the new you will add.

  17. Visiting from Sir Thrift A Lot. Good luck with your move. We like the same things. I like vintage luggage and milk glass, too. I think the new knobs you picked are really pretty. Take care - Dawn

  20. That train case is divine!! If you can find one with a beautiful outside AND inside, you MUST buy it. Your husband needs to be educated in this matter! :)
