opshop treasures

Sometimes, life is funny. This week I bid for a lot at our local auction (first time for me): there was one of those scalloped edge round mirror that I like and collect and a tin that was lovely in that lot. I got it for NZ$5, so I was pretty happy with that. Although I had to let the gorgeous dining table go because it was not quite right shape, such is life... Anyway, in the lot was the 'mushroom' casserole dish, which I quite liked but wasn't so sure about. Until my friend Zoe spotted that, believe it or not, is a Cathrinholm piece!!! Yes, I kid you not. After last week's find, I was amazed. So, in one week, I got 2 Cathrinholm pieces... A good week I'd say!!

here it is!

Then, in my favourite opshop, I found this beautiful Don mid-century sofa bed. We had been looking at buying one for years. It is in excellent condition and cost me... well, such a small amount of money... And it goes great in our house. Really a good week!!

Zoe had this great idea of using old glass lamp shades as tea light covers.
They look stunning, and for only 50cents.

I adore this thermos, completely my colours and bold patterns
can't wait for summer to set it up outside, on crochet blankets
alongside our afternoon tea

and this retro turquoise plastic container

very retro indeed

I love opshopping!!!

We are off to Fiji for a week, so will be in touch next Tuesday
