gifts...

I am having a lazy Saturday afternoon, will be having fish and chips for dinner and so presently am enjoying being home with not much to do...

my sons are over their colds n flus so this morning we headed out to a local fund raiser, a 2nd hand book sale held by a local education centre for children with autism. I will post up some of the adorable illustrations from some of the cute vintage books I scored soon. CUTE, I tell ya.

Over the past few months I have been winning and have randomly been gifted some wonderfully fun things ...from hilarious blogger and crafter Sarah, of cottonkiwi I won a delightful pink striped sock monkey-with the cutest rosette hairclip detail...she has the funniest sweetest blog...

I also got a W.A tea towel from flicketty splits at http://www.alltoileandnoreward.blogspot.com/
this really made me smile because of the quirky subject matter of souvenir tea towels and the dramatic arrangement of crocodile looking like he's going to eat a boab tree


and from someone who would think a blogspot was some kind of disease my dear old dad has been through his things and found some 50's bird collector cards and tins which he gathered up for me-bless! My mum and dad come up once a year to visit and enjoy some Qld warmth. I enjoy the warmth they bring to me and my boys too!

Lucky girl! Every time I see Sarah's monkeys I get inspired to make one...and then I get sidetracked and forget! Yours is a cutie!
