A kitchen dresser.....

I have been playing around up at 

The Old Dairy

I had this kitchen dresser in the shed waiting for some TLC, but I decided it was perfect here

to display goodies in.

I love the little pom pom banner, these are new and I'm having fun making them.

I have made mens shaving cream, it is so soft and creamy

and the men of the house say it works well, I also have shaving brushes to go with it.

Hubby wallpapered this front wall in the shop and I am in love with it.

I love orange.

Lots of new soap in the shop as well. This week I am making a men's shaving soap,

I'll let you know how that works!

Having been away at The Sunshine Coast for the last 2 weeks

There was plenty of time to sit in the sun and think about the year ahead.

Also lots of time for shopping, I got some really cool flags for out the front of the shop,

and I nearly filled the caravan up with finds from the thrift shops.

Tomorrow is the Grand Opening of

The Old Dairy

Opening with a Wine and Cheese night

Looking forward to seeing the reactions people have to my work.

The Old Dairy Shop.

Hi All

and Welcome back.

I have so busy this last month doing Saturday markets. It has been such a success I have decided to open a shop in the Old Dairy.

I have lots of bric-a-brac for sale.

Furniture

One room is set up for vintage and used goods and the other room for Handmade items.

I have pillows.

 Dishcloths and facecloths, knitted and crocheted.

Lots of candles, melts and tea light candles.

 Hand cut pressed metal hearts as well.

And lots of soap.

I have already sold so much and I haven't even opened yet.

Having a shop has been a dream of mine for as long as I can remember.

What made me start now you ask?

I read a sign in a coffee shop that said.

If you are not

Doing what you love

You are wasting

Your time.

So I decided to turn doing what I love into a part time business..

Enjoy your week.

The Last of 2014 and ask your self

Are you doing what you Love?

Hello Betty......

 

Here I was driving in Cairns on holidays towing a caravan and look what we see...

 

 

Once that van was set up and the kids were all good we went back looking for Betty....What a treasure trove.

 

This funky chick meet us in the door, so much to see in this shop I had a great time.

 



 

Furniture, clothes, brick-a- brac every thing, they had. Being on holidays I couldn't get to much.

I got some records, broaches and a out fit.

 

Sorry it's a bit blurry, I had the boots already though. I know this will be my new favourite winter outfit.

 

I went into to so many vintage and thrift shops on holidays, the kids were groaning hahaha. Never mind I know deep inside they were having fun........

 

Till next time

What is vintage?

 

Hi and welcome to my blog.

I have been blogging for a few years now and in that time I have seen a change, more and more people are buying vintage items.

But what is vintage?

 

 

Is it a collection of fine bone china?

 

 

Or may-be Old linen.

 

Furniture even for inside and out. Then there are some wonderful blogs out there about vintage clothing.

 

I have always shopped at op shops, my Mother and Grand mother did as well. My Grandmother never bought any thing new in her life. My earliest memories of her is going around the thrift shops for bargains.

This blog will be dedicated to showing all my wonderful finds in these shops.

 

What is Vintage to you.
