Op-shop finds of the week

Hello, hello everyone. Busy week here, but managed to squeeze in a quick oppy visit. Perect timing as it was stuffed to the brim with new stock from which I selected...
A bit of kiwi-kitsch

A bead-eyed Maori dolly. From the fifties I think.


                                                                       Nostalgia trip!
 I  was transported by the list, still inside, of all the other fuzzy felts you could get.
I remember pouring over when I was little, it in the weeks leading up to Christmas, every year, to make a decision about which one I wanted.
The carousel was T.H.E  B.E.S.T.
Such a far cry from wii and all the stuff that makes a modern childhood, although I have bought some felt and intend to add a snowboarder!

  
Rarely a week goes by without a vintage kids book.
Clauds really into her nana's chooks, can say "chook" and impersonates one quite cutely. 
She went bananas over this book.
I can't wait to see her face when we get her a couple of bantams in Spring!

                                                                        and finally
A picture frame for the hubby who despairs of the price of picture framing, especially for more traditional paintings.
No back but otherwise immaculate. 
A dollar well spent.

Happy hunting folks, see you here next week x

  1. Fuzy Felt - what a blast from the past! I'm with your hubby on the cost of picture framing, daylight robbery. Very cute doll - what will you call her?
