Friday Finds

As the saying goes, 'good things come to those who wait .....'

or is it 'goodies come to those who wait'?

I am beginning to think that vintage finds are like buses,

nothing for a while,

and then three come along at once.

Look what I've found on my thrifty travels this week ....................

I've wanted some vintage coat hangers for a while,

for display and photographic purposes and

what do I find, not one but two!

I couldn't believe my luck.

Whilst on my rampaging rummaging,

I also found this beautiful hand held mirror, a plastic replica of the metal ones we used to have.

The metal paint is wearing off,

revealing the green below and

the embroidery flowers are just a transfer, but I love it all the same.

As for these dinky clogs,

I thought they were so cute I had to buy them to add to my collection of folky items I seem to be unconsciously developing now.

No doubt, they will be appearing in a starring 'blog' role soon!

I hope you like them and all have a great weekend.

Friday Favourites ..... Things I would like to Own

Some larger items I would like to own

Upon my travels through my 'virtual journey' and amongst the web of beautiful photos,

I've come across so many things I would like to own,

so I thought I would show you a few of the wonders

that I swoon over .......... and think one day, I might own!
(if I have the room!)

1. Camper Van :), 2. Constance 1956 Vintage Caravan, 3. Vox Stellarum at Wire Lock,
4. tea rooms, 5. I want a VW, 6. Traditional English Gypsy caravan

My grandad and gran had a campervan when I was growing up and I loved going for trips out in this, especially when we used to pull up and put on a brew!

My parents have a caravan and I used to go on holidays in one, by the sea. I would love to own one to make it into a garden studio, customised by my own fair hands, of course.

I have never been on a narrow boat which is a house boat, I would love to go on holiday on one of these as I like the idea of taking things very slowly on the water.

As you know I love my tea and really love going to tea shops for afternoon tea. I would love to own a tea shop that is combined with knitting and crocheting, and of course cake, and chocolate!
What a combination! lol

As for the Bug car, I have always thought these were fun cars and very girly especially the ones with a flower holder by the stearing wheel.

Gypsy Caravans look so beautiful and I think if I have enough space in my garden I would love one at the bottom of it, as a sanctuary of peace and quiet, to relax in at the end of the day.

So there are my lovely finds. If anyone owns one of the above, it would be great to hear about it or about anything else one covets ............
