A few finds from my latest hauls...
Vintage pyrex, soup bowls and saucers, German enamel jug, knitting bag, lampshade (for my studio), and some lovely fabric and doilies.
Love them all :)
(The soup bowls in fact came from Adrian's mum's clear out. I couldn't pass them by obviously.)
My collection of knitting needles is also growing nicely!
I had a lovely chat with the ladies in the charity shop where I bought the last ones.
Oh I do like a good old chat with them. Although I fear they may have thought I was a bit of an odd ball for buying 10 (!) pairs of knitting needles, after finding out that I can't actually knit...
Not to worry, I can think of worst things to collect.

I always dream to have TONS of vintage knitting needles whenever I see them around on blog-land. Not sure when this crazy dream of mine will be fulfilled! Love your new LOVELY pairs of needles. And I can very well understand your urge to collect them even you can't knit!
Well, these made me smile to:)
and thus made me happy, tehee:P
I think your vintage finds are lovely.I found a beautifully illustrated 1950's childrens book last week and you just leave the shop with a big smile on your face. Thankyou for your inspirational blog. from Lisa

Kristy - I'd love to see your 'pile' :) Funny how some vintage items keep popping up... the other day I found someone with a whole tea set of the same design I picked up.
Ale - Hola! Haha of course you can my dear! besos de Inglaterra
Love those needles - you simply must teach yourself to knit - no excuse (to begin with why not try my free knitted bird pattern from my blog!) Mind you though they do look perfectly sculptural just as they are!
Love your blog.
Claire

Annabelle,
I LOVE your happy nest creations! so pretty. I was inspired to write a post on my new little blog about amazing embroidery and included a few pics of yours too.
