Oops

I saw Amelia's latest post, and started feeling guilty. So now I'm blogging again. Um. Yeah.

A little while before Christmas, I scored a stack of retro/kitsch tablecloths from the Forest Hill Lions Club Op Shop. Each one cost three to four bucks, and I ended up spending big (i.e. forty bucks).

The four below are my favourites, and now form the header for my new blog, cugly.wordpress.com, which features all things cute but ugly.

pretty pink flanellette

The Lions Opportunity Shop in Main Street Mordialloc currently has a few bundles of pretty pink printed flanellette fabric, all brand new and ready to go. There looks like there is enough in each bundle for a pair of kid's PJs or perhaps some winter wraps for a baby.

This store also has a good selection of buttons. Some of them on cards, others sealed up in jars ($4.00 per jar).

I bought two jars yesterday and was thrilled to find some really good bakelite buttons inside. Hopefully some of the remaining jars will have such hidden treasures inside too.
