  2. Cute fabric, great retro teatowel, wonderful book...could it be valuable? It looks old.
    I like the S & P shakers too, but I like the cloth under them even better. Is that another opshop buy?

  4. REread: i thought perhaps swedish as well or nordic.

    Gina : the book is a reprint of an old book hence the beautiful reproduced prints. that cloth was an op shop buy. two beautifully worked cherubs inserted into a plain cotton runner. i don't think it is vintage tho. i am not an expert so can't really tell.

    andrea: thanks!

    Pam: any relation? lol.

  5. Oh those shakers are so sweet! I love them! I have a bad case of thrift envy! And the donkey fabric - what a find!

    By the way is Op shopping what Ozzies call thrift shopping or charity shopping?
