Thrifting spree!

I've been very busy this last week as we are converting an adjoined outhouse into a proper utility room with downstairs toilet. I say we but the OH is doing it, it helps that he is a builder/plasterer by trade and has had this week of to make a start. I in the meantime have to make it look like I don't go on the computer much during the day! We have also been lent a piece of land in which to grow veg and eventually keep chickens on so we need to crack on with it or my veggies will not have time to grow. (I've started a blog about it today linked in my side bar.) Hence this is a quick post slightly picture heavy!!

I haven't posted any photos of thrifted items for a long time so thought I'd upload some today. The trouble was there were so many that I had to make a few mosaics of them in my defence this thrifting took place over 2 months ..... not too bad really!

Nearly forgot this one it needs ironing but it's a set of 3 matching tablemats, there are also many many books but are scattered everywhere now.

I have looked for everywhere for a bucket in this shade of blue and found it last week at the first large car boot of the season, it certainly made me smile.

So that's the thrift out the way, until tomorrow when I'm going to a jumble/ tabletop sale hopefully I will find some more woolies to felt.

I've only completed one piece of crafting this week, although I have done a lot of crochet. This was part of a present for a friends birthday - filled with lavender.

And finally how cute is this glass, well plastic glass, only £1 in Asda.

Have a great weekend we'll be thrifting, painting, digging, shopping and in a spare moment I have to give my dad's house a quick clean as he's been on holiday in Australia for 8 weeks and gets back Wednesday.
