Recent Finds Part 1


a) Tin and wooden butter tray
b) Turquoise wire magazine rack

I'm getting a bit obsessed with home ware at the moment, it's probably down to getting to a certain age combined with what I'm been concentrating on at uni for the past few months. Above are 2 things I picked up last week, the butter tray was 50p from my local charity shop. Hollie says her gran used to have to same one, which was a nice coincidence. Second up in a turquoise wire magazine rack from TKmaxx, weirdly I actually picked up a matching desk tidy type thing a few weeks ago to use for my project. So over the next few months I'm going to be collecting things for my final major project, which I mentioned I was working on in the last post.

Part 2 will include some clothes that I've bought over the past few weeks. It may sound like I'm buying loads but honestly, I'm curbing my enthusiasm.

    That butter dish really looks familiar, maybe my Grandma had one too! I'm having to stop myself from buying home bits at the moment as I hope to move in the near future & don't to have to lug all the extra stuff around! You're right about the getting to a certain age bit though, a few years ago I wasn't bothered by homeware & now I get excited about spatulas & dishes, ha!
