The Shopping Sherpa: #Frugal15 Week eight
http://theshoppingsherpa.blogspot.com/2015/08/frugal15-week-eight.html
My dolls' house collection. See my photos on FLICKR. Monday, August 03, 2015. The week's grocery budget was rather high: but justifiably so. Aldi had the dish cloths I like available for the first time in a few years, so I took the opportunity to stock up while I could. And a trip to Costco with friends resulted in a five-litre container of white vinegar coming home with me. If you don't factor those two cleaning expenses in, the total grocery bill drops to under $50. Can you believe it? And I'd arranged...

Archive for Op shop finds. Recent op shop finds. I’ve bought heaps of glassware, which I’ll photograph later, but these are some of my favourites from the past few weeks: Found at Salvos in Fyshwick, a Danish-style mid-century modern chest of drawers. It’s got solid teak trim and handles, and an unusual plywood veneer. One of the drawers is stamped inside with “Gainsborough” and [.]. Continue reading ». Recent op shop finds. Continue reading ».

Canberra, 1955: Home Beautiful special feature. In my large pile of vintage home and fashion magazines, which I am slowly scanning my way through, there is this:. A March 1955 special feature on Canberra. Canberra was a relatively new city, and after WWII, modern architecture sprang up everywhere alongside the original Californian bungalows and (almost Arts and Crafts) cottages. There are many excellent examples, and the best place to read about them is the Canberra House blog. Fashions, something you ha...

http://linseed-helicopter.blogspot.com/2013_09_01_archive.html
Tuesday, September 17, 2013. My hairdresser has new teeny tea cups. And matching tea pots. Heaven! Links to this post. Both of my boys are playing ice hockey now and loving it! Links to this post. Saturday, September 14, 2013. Got up early this morning and made this block. Podcasts playing to keep me engaged, all my boys sleeping! Links to this post. Here's the beginnings of my octagonal orb quilt. I'm loving this block so much. Links to this post. This quilt is destined for our bed, so it's very special.

Vintage 1940s plus-size sewing pattern catalogue. A while back I found a very tattered old mid-1940s pattern catalogue at an antiques centre. What was unusual about it was that it featured outsize fashions, something you hardly ever see. I paid a bit too much for it considering the condition, but I balanced it out with a few bargains elsewhere! It’s a [.]. Continue reading ».

Harp design: gilded ornament to modern. Harps aren’t furniture, they’re there to be played. But like pipe organs and harpsichords, there is a tradition of harps being decorative as well as incredible instruments. Marie Antoinette made the harp popular as a pastime for ladies, and this is what they were like back then: Those harps are only about 155cm/5′ tall and [.]. Continue reading ». Continue reading ».
