Thank you, dear Reader

Some time last week my mom gave me these three bags and said that one of her friends at work had started reading my blog and thought that I would be the best person to give these goodies to. She had recently cleaned out her cupboards and was going to throw all this stuff out, but when she saw that I could turn her old scraps and clothes into accessories and other pretty things... well she just had to give it to me! You made the right decision, Gillian! I will use everything in this lucky packet you gave me, to it's fullest potential. Thank you so much for keeping me in mind and feel free to send more unwanted goodies my way.

How awesome is this vintage floral crepe?! ...and thread, and buttons! I'm gonna have fun with these<3 I already know what I'm going to make with the cream and brown chiffon blouse, just watch this space:)

MATCHBOX...hello!

This is my most favourite secondhand shop in Hermanus! I first stumbled upon this little shop when I was on holiday in Hermanus, a year before we moved here. I've been going back to Matchbox regularly for the past two years now. The owner, Irma, has become quite a good friend of mine and I like to just drop in for tea but I always come home with something awesome! I just can't seem to help myself... Matchbox sells anything from records to vintage treasures and the goods are reasonably priced. I wish I had a truck-load of money to spend there, I would clean her out!

 I love how she displays everything! She even painted the walls and put up the wall paper herself, she is such a creative lady<3

 ...me &my camera shy friendy:)

 Oh, Irma found Mr. Bunny at an auction, he look to be quite old...even vintage. So she let Mr. Bunny visit me for a while so I can investigate how he was made (I've been working on some plushy OddOne's...shhhh!)
