Super Duper Blogtastic Giveaway!

Mr honi and I had another CRAZY weekend cleaning out my Grandmas place. We ended up with council clean up pile that this lovely girl might lust after!! This was ONE DAY's worth. There was a lot more!!

So, rather than stash all the treasures for myself, I’ve decided that this blog will host a blogtastic, super duper giveaway for the next few weeks. The lovely Kirsty started a “deal or no deal” giveaway a while ago, so I’ve decided follow her game. So here are the rules…

I want it - what do I do?

Leave me a comment on this post & I will randomly select a winner which will be announced when I post the next offering

What's the catch?

Some items may only be available to Aussie guys and gals, or even just Sydney due to postage weights.
If you are outside the area I have listed for free postage, but you REALLY want something and are happy to cover the postage costs let me know and I’ll estimate the cost for you.

Whats up for grabs??
We’re starting small today, with a lot of 2 pieces of Vintage wrapping paper that I believe are from the 1970’s.

I will also be updating my Etsy shop every couple of days so if you’re looking for vintage items, have a peek!!

My Creative Space Thursday

For my Creative Space today, I could show you the complete mess that is my craft room.......with everything that was on our shelf, that is now sprawled all over the bed.....

Or, I could show you my poor old dining table that has been converted into an office / craft table / sewing table / Etsy shop storage......

But I'd much prefer to show you my crochet project which will be another blanket for Neicephew.

We're moving house in less than a month, and the place is starting to look like a bomb hit it. We are also in the process of cleaning out the place we are moving into, which is my grandparents place. We have funky vintage goodies coming out our ears!! Sooo......

Stay tuned for a Vintage, blogtastic giveaway!!!

PLUS, there are new Vintage items loaded on my Etsy shop!

Thrifting in my own house...

....yes, it sounds weird, but i did it the other day. My darling Ma is getting a new kitchen and took some boxes of old bits and pieces into the storage room under the house. That's when all hell broke loose and an avalanche of boxes and bits and pieces rained down on her.

So, I offered to take a day off work to go around and help her start to clean it out (which I've been saying I'd do for YEARS)

So just to set the scene - I rocked up at 7.30am to a room the size of an average bathroom completely filled floor to ceiling with boxes. I've never really thought about what's in there until we started tro clean.

And OMG, did I hit the jackpot!!! Turns out my aunty, great aunt and grandma are ALL Hoarders and don't appear to throw anything out- they just store it at Mum's!!

So infront of me were boxes FILLED with Vintage goodness! We only managed to get through about 10 boxes (theres about another 30-40 to go!)

and just look what I found......

About 30 odd "old fashioned peg doll" kits my mum made up about 20 years ago (Now I know where my craftyness comes from!!) I remember going to a market with her and she only sold ONE kit. She was so upset that she boxed them up and never tried to sell them again, which was so sad.

So I made one up, and thy are SUPER cute. So I'm going to sell them on Etsy for my Ma :) Just need the time to load them!!!

the most gorgeous mini Swan Lake pictures (now on my inspiration wall)

and about 10 big eyed girl/boy pictures! This was my fave.

Plus sooo much stuff I am yet to take pictures of including Figgjo Dinner Set, orange floral 70's tea set, 50's gloves, 70's cluster rings, vinatage cake plates...oooo soo much!!!
