Charity shopping.

I'm trying to stop so much stuff coming into my house, but sometimes I can't resist!

My mum gave me this, I assume it came from her charity shop, I LOVE it!

I usually by the mustard colourway of this crockery, but I couldn't resist this because it was super duper cheap!

I bought myself a jar of wooden beads.  I have a craft in mind for them where they'll become heads!

Excuse this awkward photo of this item being held aloft, it was the best lighting I could get!  I was walking down the high street and this was outside one of the charity shops.  It didn't have a price and I paid a bit more than I'd usually pay, but the money goes to a good cause so I can't really complain.

I fell down a bit of a nostalgic Hollie Hobbie internet hole last month, then searched for Hollie Hobbie on eBay, then found this and bought it and I have no idea what I'm going to do with it, but I really love it!

  3. I totally understand the feeling of not being able to resist. What's that saying? I can resist everything except temptation - that definitely applies to me!
    Will you share what you make with those beads? I'd love to see...

  5. Ooh!! Hollie Hobbie - why did I think these girlie pics were called Sarah Kay or Key or something like that? :) I still have very similar stickers from childhood, I checked and they were called 'Miss Petticoat'! Or 'Plavokapica' - 'Blue Hat' - in Serbo-Croatian :) (a language, that doesn't even exist now, apparently!) in ex-Yugoslavia! I have very similar patterns on a nightie I wore in 2nd grade, and still wear in the Summer (needs a bit of fixin' tho) my mum sewed it! It was to my ankles initially, now it's a mini length! :) My fave still!

  6. Love the bamboo plant stand too! Do tell how it will turn out in practice - is bamboo really moisture/mold resistant?

    1. Hey Layla, hope you're doing well :)

      That's so sweet that you still have your Hollie Hobbie-esque nightie!

      The bamboo plant stand holds a plant pot inside, so hopefully won't get wet or soil-y, I've had other ones for years and they hold up pretty well. :)
