flea market finds

Well this week I've had quite a good haul of vintage finds.  Firstly, there was my early morning dash to my favourite local op shop, where i scored this...


which I plan to paint to match Poppet's revamped one here.



I just love the pictures!


just in case we have a boy one day(or for little boys that come to play)


Then there was Saturdays mornings garage sale finds....


a new wardrobe for dolly, she's modelling one of them, and for Poppet to hang on her clothesline.


a vintage dolls clothes pattern and a wee basket for my sewing bits and pieces


and some 1960's kids puzzles, thinking of framing these.

A definite children's theme this week.  With our ever growing collection of vintage toys, I've been advised to ask myself before purchasing...Do I really need this?  Well, dear husband, it's not a case of need I'm afraid! and I just couldn't leave any of it!

For more flea market finds, pop over to Sophie's

Enjoy the rest of your weekend

  6. I love that baby carriage. How cute is that?! Great pictures of your wonderful treasures. Brings back memories for me! I can see my bean bag baby dolls in that stroller.

  8. Wow this is an amazing haul! It's wise to pull in some boys toys when you have a girl(s) anyway - my daughter has always loved little cars and trains as much as her little dolls and what not.
