a girl can never have too many pretty tablecloths


or pretty plates or kitschy little koalas .

Very happy with my latest Vinnies scores .

Can op shopping become an addiction ?

  1. I love old china too! I wonder what the plate with all the holes was used for?

    The little Koala on gum leaf is adorable.

  4. I love it - I really like the old cress dish (with the holes), I think they would be great to collect.

  15. Love the cute Koala, Clare. :)
    I have one of the strainer plates, and the one to sit underneath, they belonged to my DGM. Lady at antique shop said they were for strawberries, but DM told me it was for lettuce leaves????

  16. LOL...I think in the craft world it's a necessity as you never know what treasure of the past you might find. Your purchases are beautiful!!
    Keep up the good work :-)
    Cheers...Jane.

  18. Hmm, I'll be down your way in a couple of months. We might have to go op-shopping together to feed our addiction. Hope there's nice buttons at your op-shop!
