More headwear...

Who could resist posting pics of recently made headwear when their models look this gorgeous!



Miss Georgia in her new beanie and scarf... will be 2 in 2 weeks!


Miss Lily... who will be 5 in less than 2 weeks!

This is what you get when taking photos whilst the small person is eating an apple.


I make the flower from this headband for most of my hats, it is just so pretty.
Details of the hats and headbands Raveled here.

New headwear....

Whilst I am gearing up to blog about SIT 2011 (which only happened 3 months ago) I though it best to just blog simply to get back into it... so here is some new headwear I have been making for my girls.

The owl hat is getting lots of lovely comments when we are out.

This almost 5 year old just loves the hearts!


This is one I made a long time ago and is one of my favourites. 
It is getting lots of use in chilly Melbourne!

My thrifting fix...

I well and truly got my thrifting fix filled this week! After 2 weeks of being house bound with sick children I needed a trip to a couple of my favourite stores and here is what I came home with...

1. The Salvos.. these chocolate brown suede Jane Debster boots


2.Vinnies...  this gorgeous new black handbag, the Marie Claire Comfort cookbook, a Chip Maker, a pair of black Footrest high-heels for me, 2 pairs of great preschool shoes for Miss Lily - all this for just $20!



Apart from the price the best part about this shopping was I completed it on my own!! My MIL was visiting for the day so popped out shopping and then had lunch with a girlfriend and neither of us had children in tow... what bliss...

What I love most about thrifting is being able to go out shopping and come home (usually) having spent less than $20... you can't do that at Westfield!


I also love it when I walk in like I did yesterday and the lovely Vinnies ladies say "Where are the girls?" That is when you know you are a regular!

3. My local Council Cleanup...  at the house next door to Lily's Preschool was a box filled with this....and all 8 place settings in tact!



Then I arrived home to find this parcel waiting for me...



What a wonderful day!

I hope your day was wonderful too!
