Flea Market Finds
Once again the ups and downs of thrifting have proved to me you never know when your next great find is around the corner. I actually steered clear of op-shops most of the week, thinking if I left it awhile I would have better luck.
Then yesterday I was out with my Mum and asked her to stop off at one of my favourite op-shops on the way home. Mum is not an op-shopper (she waits outside in the car!), so I tried to be as fast as possible. I walked in, and there it was-exactly what I had been wanting , but had little hope I would actually find it. A little retro shelf for storage in my space-limited bedroom!
It’s exactly what I wanted, and it cost only $10! I couldn’t wait to clean it up and put it to use, and this is where it now lives:
A pretty place to store my cottons, crochet threads, wrapping supplies, etc. Now I have more space on my desk too, so it’s much easier to use my sewing machine. I love that it has little legs and is backless, which creates the illusion of more space.
So, once again I have been lulled back into the never-ending thrifting quest for excellence. I am linking to Her Library Adventures, where you can find more thrifted goodies. Have a great week!
Anthea.
It’s so cute and handy! Sometimes it definitely pays to stay away.
It’s perfect! What a great price too.
Great find…I love the simple lines
That is a truly beautiful piece, perfect for displaying collections. I like that you’ve shown how you utilize it in the house, too!
