Vintage wares from Garage Sale!




Hi everyone,

My family and I had a lovely time at Shellharbour over the Easter break, it's such a relaxing and friendly place. I managed to go to some garage sales on Saturday and gathered some goodies, well you might think I'm mad but my brain was filling up with ideas when I saw these bits and pieces.




A box full of old ribbons for $5 the box- paper, plastic coated, printed and fabric, they're all so yummy and have fabulous old ages spots and stains on them!

I think I might alter this weather station, but I may check out how old it is first, I don't want to alter something if it's very old, what do you think? I just thought it was cute and it was only 50cents.



I saw an old wedding cake decoration similar to this one on someones blog not so long ago and thought how beautiful it was, so how lucky am I to get one! The flowers are made from wax, it's has stains and aged spots as well and I just love it. There were two little gold baskets that came with it that have cream mesh and fabric flowers on them, oh the ideas and all for 50cents as well!!
I think I may place a family vintage photo behind the cake decoration and add a beautiful verse, that might be my project for this weekend so stay tuned!

I hope you all had a lovely Easter, thanks for visiting

Cheers
Jane
