Here are some of my favourite things. I am searching high and low to get my hands on them.
This is the first little one to become mine – thanks to Bridge in London!
I also own the little chime ball in the pic below.
Yum!
If any of you can help me find the following I would be forever grateful and pay you handsomely in whatever currency you want – swaps, cash, etc
look at all the little treaures out there waiting to be found!
Here is the little ‘Robin’ tile in blue…
My little blue bird tile approx 10cm / 10cm. Cost R100
Despite our shopping trip, I also managed to get some work done on Sunday.
Here are some examples of my tiles in China Blue.
The ‘Dream’ tile is 11cm / 16cm and costs R200
‘Wish’ is also 11cm / 16cm and also costs R200
‘a life lived in fear is a life half lived’ is 23cm / 21cm and costs R350
Darren and I went second hand shopping on Sunday (we almost didn’t tho because we thought it might be too much hassle with the tiny Noushe and the little Leith). Thank goodness we persevered because we scored BIG time.
Here are some pics of what we found (nothing cost more than R20 which is what I love so much about this kind of shopping).
This is my best item – it is a 1968 Fisher Price musical pony. He needed a bit of repair which I bravely undertook and now he lives again. I think the Bakelite bead which I found to complete the job rocks!
Here is the Micky we found. I don’t know his date of birth but I recon he is about 30 years old?
These are four out of the twelve Play Mobile figures we found – they are dated 1974 (Darren’s birth year). I dig their funky Buck Rogers attire.
Speaking of Buck Rogers, look what POPPED up…
It’s a 1994 reprint, but still, for 15 years old it is perfect.
Here is a pic of one of the main spreads.
I was delighted to find this bendable Buggs – I remember these from my childhood.
Look at this Fisher Price Camper extravaganza, complete with many people and a dog!
We were CHARMED by many other small creatures such as this wee monkey.
this metal horse (which seems to have rid himself of his cart).
and Mr Cool himself – Popeye (which I think must go to Danie or Alastair).
Here is the huge pile of treasures – We spent R100 in total!
Gloat Gloat!
