Photo of the Day:
I picked up a couple of things from the charity shop today - they might become Christmas Stocking fillers...I haven't quite decided yet.
This lovely book mark from Past Times has clearly never been used.
Love the pretty jewelled fan.
A music note pad - I will keep this for myself.
Some New Zealand themed coasters - I will probably keep these to use as we currently have some that have seen better days. Not entirely sure yet though so will wait a while before I decide.
I don't normally buy pictures, but when I saw this, it invoked a strong feeling in me, and when I looked on the back and saw '99p' I thought definitely! Of course when I got to the counter, I realised I had misread it and it was actually £3.99 but I still decided to get it. Looking at it, it looks to be an original piece of artwork, probably oil, but possibly acrylic. It will hopefully help me to get through winter!
I actually bought this the other day and can't remember if I have shown it or not. I don't think so as I hadn't been very pleased with the photos I had taken of it, and was undecided as to where it should go.
At the moment I have decided it can sit in our bath room window.
Out in the garden:
The odd petunia is still flowering
The colours of this just look ALL WRONG!
But is is bringing a bit of colour to the garden - this is a bit more like the true colour.
On the guinea pig front.
Poor Dundee has hurt his eye badly. I am hoping the Fucithalmic Acid will help it to heal. I have seen it repair worse eye injuries than this, so here's hoping.
Dallas had a cuddle as well, after all he did pose for my 'Photo of the Day'.
In the house...
My husband has started stripping the wallpaper in our bedroom. I think he is hoping to reduce the price of the decorating quote we got, or maybe even do it himself....hmmm...we will see!

Prompt for today: Bat
We had a Past Times shop in Ipswich and I used to love going in and looking, never bought anything - always too expensive - which is probably why they ceased trading!
ReplyDeleteIt was a lovely shop, but as you say very expensive. My Mum used to get me to buy things for her to take over to NZ. She loved the shop. I think over a few years she bought some cups, bags, jewellery and some other things I can't remember. I have managed to pick up some lovely cups either when they were on sale, or in Charity shops.
DeleteWhat a great haul, love the book mark and the painting was a delight.
ReplyDeleteThe book mark is lovely isn't it? I love the painting as well. Still trying to decide just where to put it.
DeletePigs! ouch, that eye hurts just looking at it. I hope it heals quickly. Neat bookmark; I really like the seaside painting. Lots of fun stuff.
ReplyDeleteDefinitely ouch! I am hoping it will heal quickly as well as I really don't want him to have an operation, in my experience, they don't tend to do so well having anaesthetics. He doesn't seem especially bothered with it.
DeleteGreat finds! I have that exact book mark ( which I also found in a thrift store).
ReplyDeleteHow funny to think you found this same bookmark in a thrift store over there!
