I haven't done one of these posts in a while. Today I had a joyous little thrift at an opshop near my uni. I was wondering why the opshop was so full of hip looking young people and discovered that on Wednesdays students get a 20% discount. So good! Wednesday is now thrift day.



Thrifted:
+ red and pink plaid handbag
+ two pairs of vintage unused stockings
+ cute mocassin-y slippers
+ red stripy elastic belt
+ two ceramic milkshake glasses (or vases, as I'm going to use them as)
+ Carole King's Tapestry record (currently listening to)
+ a hilarious parrot cross-stitch
+ very sheer dotty Summery dress (lying crumpled in picture)







Have you thrifted anything mention-worthy lately?

+ Jane Potrykus

+ Elizabeth of Delightfully Tacky shared some great tips for taking your own outfit photos.
+ Sannah takes photos of people with all their worldly possessions (via Meet Me At Mikes).
+ I'd really love to try this pin curls tutorial at A Beautiful Mess.
+ The Nearsighted Owl does amazing little illustrated lists.
+ I'm dying to try Shutterbean's Earl Grey Chocolate Cake.
+ If you don't spend at least 15 minutes scrolling through this website, there's something wrong with you.

Any cats to add to the list?

Speaking of cats, C has this silly on-going award he 'gives' to one of our cats each month called Cat Of The Month. We have four cats, and based on their behaviour over the month, C chooses the award recipient. He asked me to make a picture each month for the 'winner' and then he puts it on Facebook with a little paragraph about why X cat won this month. It's pretty cute, I thought I'd share January and February's ' 'winners'.
