Find(s) of the week


It's all about the kid this week in op-shop land.

My favorite this week? The dearest titchy handmade felt kiddie belt, perfect for my skinny-kid-with-forever-falling-down pants.




Not retro, but cool! Sophie the giraffe. Most (cool) kids in NZ have one, but I was too stingy to spend
 (was it $20 or $30 at the fancy-kids outfit, for a placcy-squeaky toy, madness!)
50c, thats more like it!
and yet more retro bedtime reading...




Plus, an old tin lunch box. You can't have too many red knick-naks aye? As it's a little bit too rusty for the sammies now, I'm thinking (another) button box.  Claud meanwhile thinks its just the thing for toy mice transport.


Thats all folks!

Apart from the COOLEST thing I found for my Faith, Hope and Charity Shopping swapee, which will be revealed in due course of course...

  1. Love the little belt Max and I've always loved The Tiger Who Came to Tea...never heard of Sophie the Giraffe...thirty bucks? are you kidding me? Well done on picking her up for fifty cents! Glad Claude has joined the "cool kids" club!

  2. Sophie! All my daughter's friends had her! And love retro books. Though if I remember correctly Chitty Chitty Bang Bang has a few scenes with men with massive guns ... ah, how things have changed in children's literature ...
