Things From Wish - Stickers and Buttons!

Yes I've been online shopping again ... what can I say I found some bargains!
I bought these from wish. 

As you can see by the 50c coin next to the stickers they are rather small
but they will be perfect for my bullet journal.

The stickers above are of Vincent Van Gogh's work. To be honest I bought these mostly because of the starry night painting that I love. Sadly you can't really see it very well in the photo. 




These buttons will definitely come in handy. They are 15 mm in size but they have handmade with love written on them. I'll be adding these to the baby kina cardigans that I knitted a little while ago. Provided they fit through the button holes that is.

Opp Shop Bargains

Not that I do a lot of scrapbooking or anything crafty with paper very often, I jumped at the chance to buy these paper cutters (I don't even know what the proper name is).


I adore the Pooh Bear one. It still had the original price tag on it ($31.95).
I picked the whole lot up for $5. Honestly how could you walk away from a price like that?
I have no idea when I will use them but I have added them to my craft stuff.

I am so glad that Mark asked me to go Opp Shopping with him.

I Love Shopping For Bargains

Just some of my bargains that I picked up yesterday. I didn't photograph all of them, after all who wants to see photos of shampoo/conditioner and toothpaste?




If I had know the gloves were so cheap I would have picked up a hot pink pair as well. 
Mark picked up some camping items too - a stool, a toaster and plastic container to use as a kitchen sink.

The Postie Has Been

I love it when I receive parcels in the post. My two new beautiful scarves arrived today.
I bought them off ebay. I love finding bargains on ebay!



I keep looking at scarves on ebay. I have three of these pretty ones now and a larger shawl. I'm not sure where or when I will get to wear them all but they sure do look nice.

Op Shopping


Angus's chair that he uses at the desk broke the other night. That kid is really hard on furniture. In fact I've lost count of how many pieces of furniture that he or Brodie have broken over the years. So Mark & I went to one of the Op Shops in town yesterday and I found this. It looks sturdy and solid enough. I'm crossing my fingers that this chair lasts a lot longer than the last one.

Garage Sale Finds


While Mark was out on his motorbike this morning he 'accidentally' found a garage sale. He phoned me to let me know that they had a 3 drawer filing cabinet for sale. The one we had was a little two drawer thing that was filled to breaking point. Okay that was a slight exaggeration but it was full and the drawers were getting harder to open even though I had a major clean out with it not long ago.

Anyway I agreed that a new one would be good so he bought it and we went to collect it a short time later. That was my first mistake. Little did I realise how much of the lounge room we would have to clean and reorganise so that we could fit the new filing cabinet in. After much dusting, vacuuming and tidying up it's now in the lounge. Not a bad bargain for $30. It's in pretty good condition too. I've kept the top drawer free for ALL of my knitting and crochet patterns (~_o) Now I wont be leaving them lying around or in the wicker baskets under the coffee table.

Here are my other bargains ...


How pretty is that box? I just had to get it when I saw the flowers on the lid. It's so pretty. I have no idea what I will use it for yet.


I also got these sheets. Yep we still have a double bed. I know lots of people now have queen size or larger. When I saw these I had to snap them up. I would never be able to find such a bargain in the shops. Complete sets (flat & fitted sheets with two pillow cases) for only $3. It would've been silly to leave them behind.
