I've been hiding!

Op Shopping Adventures, originally uploaded by Spices for Violet.

It's been an awfully long time since I've posted anything on my blog or this one... I blame having an all-consuming job! Now that I am on holidays, I was able to hit the op-shops in Warragul (country Vic. - 1hr 10 mins east of Melb)

2. Belts - 3 for $5.
3. & 4. Picture Dictionary - $1.
5. Little Golden Books - 50c each.
6. Children's Picture Book - 50c
7. & 8. Vintage Patterns - 25c - 50c each

Happy New Year everyone!

It's mine, I tell you - mine!

Green velvet recliner, $20 from St Vinnies in Crewe St, Oakleigh. It fits me (short and round) perfectly. Once settled in it, I'm hard to shift: just hand me the remote and my knitting and I'm set for the evening. That's if I can dislodge one or other of the cats. They seem to think this chair belongs to them. Hey, I can growl louder, so I win!
