stuff going on around here...

So, well that was fun..NOT! Was sick as a dog for the first half of the week, wow really wiped me out. But saying that I am back on track now, just needed a few days to catch up on things and get back on track, sort of. So, following is my Thrifted Tuesday and some other things..had a lovely flying visit from Mum last night which was great, and hubby is off to New Zealand tomorrow..so my babies will not be happy!

So Thrifted Tuesday, ok well lets make that late Thursday, one of these days I will get it on the right day!

So I picked up these two gorgeous little retro bakeware dishes..just gorgeous, now I just have to

figure out what I am going to cook in them!

I also got this pretty little framed print, it reminded me of some small

ones I had as a child. I just was drawn to the colours, they are going to go

in my new "workspace" once we move.

I also got this lovely Witney Rug from England. It is called a Candy Rug.

I tried to search some info on it but, these rugs where made during world war II.

I loved the name, the print, the colours everything.

A sweet little top from label "A little lady from", all ready for summer!

A sweet little retro doona cover for the boy

A TROFAST storgae unit (empty) for $10.

It is in the current catalogue for $169-

The pic does not do it justice, was in a hurry. Just so you know mine is on the left!

I already have all the storage buckets, but they are being used in other places around the house..but not for long..not sure if I will paint it white like the one below or not??

any thoughts..??

So that is it for thrifted...this week so far...still tomorrow to go!

Other than that, I got some new Keds...Yay!

And got some joy in the mail from Jimmy Pickles..(see post below)

woohoo...

tgif tomorrow..have a great day!

Back again,

Cousins playing and reading books before bed time...we call them salt and pepper!

My sister and brother and law and their three wee ones turned up on our doorstep after being washed out at camping, so we threw together dinner...and had a fantastic night!

Hello there, firstly I want to say a HUGE thankyou to all of you who have left supportive messages for me from the post below. We are fine and doing well and the school is slowly recovering.

So I am back, I have been away...I suppose I just needed a break to concentrate on some other things, and also it is a little scary getting back into it..you know like when you take a few days off work and werent "really" sick and then you have to go back...urrrgh. So here I am.

We have been having a pretty good time around here, spending time with family and having a few visitors and stuff. Freckles got her report card for Semester 1 and trumped it...one B, one C and the rest A's we were very proud! So school is rounding up for this term, and holidays are coming on fast..wwoooo hooo..we have some lovely things planned for the holidays coming up so hopefully it will be fun.

Other than that, just working, having breaky with the girls on a friday, looking at houses, and generally doing the day to day family stuff.

So, I hope you are all you are doing well, Chook, have you joined the CWA yet! LOL...sounds like you are having a fantastic time, and dont worry about the excercise...I am sure you getting plenty in other ways...hehehe.

Anyway, below are some pics from over the last few weeks....and some thrifting as well..

Till tomorrow..
