Flea market finds and collections

 My vintage glass jar collection above and below

A  lovely cup to add to my Royalty collection
 New finds - porcelaine dolls head and more vintage wooden rulers


As mentioned in my previous post, I went off to Camberwell market on the weekend, which was completely rained out but I did mange to pick up one or two lovely pieces to add to my flea market find collections. I am loving old glass bottles at the moment and vintage rulers. I also picked up the porcelain dolls head - which I love for it's cute creepiness! Plus the Queeny cup, which looks great in my bathroom. I go through phases of collecting things - there is some thing strangely satisfying about putting groups of similar objects together...does any one else like to collect? What do you collect? I suppose it was a good thing Camberwell market was rained out as I may have come home with a lot more!

Love the glass bottles, I collect those too. A blue ball jar is on my wishlist, it'll look gorgeous on a windowsill. I also collect old children's fabrics, enamelware, duraware, china... a bit of a hoarder :)

ps. Have just bought your red heart print, can't wait to receive!

I collect old rulers too! Including the building ones and the old skool metre long ones. I also collect old sewing scissors, vintage haberdashery, and odd things too. i have an old dolls head for the same reasons, i also have a small skull of a cat or something found on the beach. I am a gatherer and collector. I am great friends with Shells here in NZ and look forward to meeting you one day Paula. I love your style and have you pinned all over my Pinterest. And have two of your prints in my home. You ladies are very creative. When you come to NZ we will road trip and look for treasures throughout the regions best thrifty places. x

I had Contry Style Magazine come and do a shoot at my home in May... a few months later and the issue finally hits the shelves. Yay! I am very pleased with the way it all turned out. Sharyn Cairns took some wonderful photographs and captured our home beautifully, while Virginia Imhoff wrote a lovely piece about all the bits and pieces in our home and how much we have traveled etc. The ' where there's tea there's hope ' print got a big feature in the shoot and on the editors letter, which we are so pleased about and the orders have already coming rolling in. Ooooh I must say it is quite a thrill to see my own home and work in print, I am most flattered!
