Some of my recent acquisitions, either at car boot sales or charity shops:
A colander - or maybe for frying chips? I just think it is pretty - a big old happy sunflower!
I love these (I have five now) - they look stunning with spring blooms or just a single rose. And I have acquired instantaneous yachting and golfing kudos!
How can you not love them? My winter dolls are style icons!
These remind me of my mom - stainless steel little teapot (for my rooibos tea) and a gravy boat. Not that I ever make gravy.
A tiny silver vase.
These are old vintage teacups which are planted up with mini succulents. She was selling about 50 of these, I should have got more!
One of my favourites - a tiny wooden springbokkie. I only paid R2 for it!

Ooh, lovely loot! No wonder you're happy with your haul. I think your springbokkie is my favourite too (although rather fancy the sunflower colander/fryer thingie as well) and I love the photograph of it - the contrasting textures on the table are beautiful.
The little springbok is adorable, and I love those trophies too.
You must have really good shops and car boot sales where you are, I can only ever find tat, and expensive tat at that!
Great stash! I've goven you an award, please see my blog for details.
Ummmm...given you an award, I haven't been drinking, promise:)
the dolls are lovely just lovley! and the sprinbokkie is oh so cool nice finds for wonderful prices.
kendalee - I've hung the sunflower thingie in my kitchen!
heather - You must come out Simons Town way on the first Saturday of a month - there is a carboot sale from 7:30 to 11 am at the Phoenix Hall in Glencairn Heights, and also a little street junk market in Simons Town itself. Winter is probably not the best time - there are fewer traders, but even so, I've never come away without some treasure picked up for R5 or R10!
bronwyn - Oh thanks for my award!! I am very chuffed with it - I'm going to print it out & put it on my inspiration board.
corri - Thank you so much for popping in! (I tried to visit your blog as well but your door is locked!)
