Op shop finds and no seeds

Went to pick up an item from freecyle (will write about in another post) and as a bonus had a lovely day op shopping.

Didn't know about the bonus zip until i got home - think I can take it off.

 Sieves for seed sorting

 A tray to paint with blackboard paint - idea I saw on Pinterest

Kids clothes $1, half price orange tag - work clothes for dad and mixed basics.  Big one ran off with her cowgirl shirt and shorts before I could take a picture, dad wore his cords to work today.

 Biscuit trays, came up well for a good scrub - we never have enough


have a couple of friends in mind for these ones 


 there's been a few breakages at our house lately, some new ones to add to the selection



 Not new but sits on our bench all the time, was looking so pretty in the afternoon light



 Middle one was all set to be my helper finding seeds in the mutato.



The cupboard was bare! Note the disappointed face. No more zuchinni travel pillows for us. This one produced late in the season so there mustn't have been enough flowers around for good fertilisation - just a theory anyway.

  4. Liz, it is a waterlily, its tiny and I'm not sure what purpose the little plate will serve in my home but it is adorable! Thanks for following Ava, OMG I want to be a chicken at your house that hen house with bunting and spots is AMAZING! My favourite is the bear cup too Lesley. All found in one lovely little op shop.

In the spring, at the end of the day, you should smell like dirt.

“She turned to the sunlight
And shook her yellow head,
And whispered to her neighbour:
"Winter is dead.”
