A little stitchin' & a little thrifting!

Today is about show and tell, felt like I haven't done a lot lately but will show what little I have achieved!
This is from an old Country Threads mag, it will be a pillow case.
(you where right Chris, )

There is 6 of these flower posy's to do, 5 to GO!!

And now the thrifting, on Sunday I picked up from Eltham this cute bird cage (trademe) for all of a $1.50 !!
Bargain I know, but while driving thu town I noticed a vintage clothes shop open and then I noticed a beautiful old hatbox on a table of treasures - this was a must and only $14 with the linen I also grabbed!

Big plans for this hatbox, but wait there is more........................................

This basket full of little treasures was from Hawera on Tuesday, total $4.

But this had to be the buy of the day.................................................

Hope you have a great day and find some bargains too!
I am off to put up a electric fence and milk some cows as hubby is in
Te Kuiti.
