Curtains up!

Jodi posted a little while ago about the Aussie Vets . That's where these curtains came from.

We bought them there for $8 last year.

At first, we merely thought of them as lovely rose-strewn panels of fabric.
Perhaps to cover a chair? Perhaps.....

Then recently Herself quietly took down the venetians that were there.
She snuck off to Bunnings and purchased some curtain hardware.
Got going with her trusty little drill and...
Hey presto, beautiful curtains for the kitchen at The Trad Pad.
She robbed my stash for the flowers and the ribbon.

Books at Boronia in the foothills of The Dandenongs

If Jodie is to be believed it looks like we Foothills gals are on a roll.

I can't wait for the next exciting episode. So, to keep you all interested,

this is a report of Herself's (my daughter's) latest trip to the Salvo Store in Boronia. I really have come to the conclusion that we don't find things - they find us.
You see, Herself is a gal who does judge a book by its cover - as well as its contents.

She loves old books -
she doesn't read much outside the Victorian and Edwardian periods of literature.

And I do try, I really do,
to keep an eye out for stuff that I think she will like but I rarely find anything.
But does she!
And it's not the first time she has found the books she likes at the Salvo Store in Boronia.
To see what she does with the books once they are home at The Trad Pad
then pop over here.

BTW, Herself paid $3.75 a pop for the books.
