More spoils (see previous post) ...


tin tray to make into jewellery


some books for my bro-in-law


"The Happy Mixer" is pretty special. It borders on hard-core. Here's a tame example.


How about cocktails for breakfast?



a book about my 'hood
FRANKO WE KNOW WHERE YOU LIVE
I also scored a great pressie for my fella but as he reads this and he's getting it for Christmas I'm not gonna show it here.

It was hot. There were flies. There were bargains to be had. I should have worn a hat.



It was at St Thomas's primary school on Diamond Valley Rd.


SGG and I visited a few Garage sales on the way to whet our appetite for the bargaining feast. I had to give SGG a few tips on the old haggle after one purchase went from $2 to $5 after she disputed the price as being too low!!!

To the spoils....


tupperware strainer. I don't really need this but I liked the colour,
I might post it to Liana.


5 pink lidded tupperware containers - I can definitely use these!

p.s. barbra's all good now

phew!

climate change

Due to a march in the city protesting on the governments stance on climate change, I didn't get to any garage sales. It was a beautiful spring day and there was some other event involving horses, suits, feathers and public drunkeness on, but it seemed to draw quite a crowd in Swanston St today.







I went with SGG on her own which was fun.


that's me on the right



lots of crafting gets done in this building.

I know that by engaging in garage sailing and making jewellery I am using finite resources, but I try and justify it by looking at it as recycling.

cheers, anna
