Day 31 ~ Who loves a church fete?

October31

Meeeeeee! Along with many others, as I found out as I waited with about 30 other folks for the bell to ring signalling 9.30 this morning. I picked up a few goodies…

fete-ie furniture

This little cupboard. $10.

glassware

This glass ware, 50c a piece (cake stand, bowl & cute cherries)

orange

Orange watering can vase & teapot stand. 50c each.

simplicity

Simplicity sewing book. 20c. I now have a spare copy which is missing a few pages. If you’d like it leave me a comment :)

golden-hands

Golden Hands 60 things to sew for children. 20c

Not picured are the clothes for Zoe, a top for me, other mags and books, the delicious chocolate topped slice or the candy coloured chenille bedspread I picked up at a garage sale on the way home. The garage sale also delivered a baby teapot for the mummy teapot we already had. Introducing the ‘Carlton’ in 2 and 6 cup sizes…

teapots

I think I have a problem. I just can’t stop buying things! Mum has challenged me to get through November without op shopping. I don’t think I want to. It really brings me joy.

Incidentally it is the final day of Blogtoberfest. I consider it to have been a success. I only missed a couple of days, and am now in the ’swing’ of blogging. Don’t worry loyal readers, I shall continue my regular blogging. I rather enjoy it! Enjoy the rest of your weekend!

    I admit I have a problem when it comes to opshops, garage sales and particularly church fetes! Love them all :) Especially fetes! I have a little teapot just like yours I bought for DD in her cubby. everything vintage out there now. No crummy modern plastic rubbish :)
