Despite the gruesome weather and a crappy headcold, I did manage to rummage about in a couple of local thrift stores this week. I found some lovely handmade beads ...
This is a great Willow tin canister. How cool are those teapots?
Oh the joy of finding a pair of barely worn slip-on red shoes! My heartbeat sped up when I saw these lurking amongst the far less glam offerings on the shoe rack. I actually held my breath as I flipped them over to see if they were my size! Yippeeeee - a golden moment in thrift shopping history - they FIT!!!! They also are a wonderful replacement for these old faithfuls ...
Ok, so this is a bit boring but I am planning a transformation! The first step is to add some colour ...
That is already a big improvement, but there is more to come and it involves
...lots and lots of these. Sadly, the weather is so FOUL that the paint is taking for-evah to dry so I will have to post a pic of the finished article another day. Hope the thrift demons were with you this week as you foraged, rummaged and sifted. To see what everyone else got up to in the thrift stores this week, take a gander over here at Sophie's.

You've had a good week for finds even though you're not feling so well. I hope you're feeling better soon
