Monday got off to a good start, a coffee catchup with friends and the latest Mollie Makes magazine......
It was a cool morning but I spied someone with a pair of thongs on at the next table......can you see that naked foot hehe?
Today I took a little road trip down to Benalla, Op shopping along the way......
I found this beautiful hand knitted jumper and had to buy it.
Someone has put a lot of
Love
Care
Time
Effort
&
Thought
into making it....
It's soft and warm......
'You can't beat wool for warmth'
My mums words ringing in my ears.
It's in perfect condition, either it hasn't been worn alot or it has been well cared for.........
There's a little row of ♡♡♡♡♡♡ at the bottom of the pattern and a little further up.
Is it vintage retro or just old fashioned?...
It's definitely not the latest fashion, but I love it and will wear it when I have a coffee catchup....
Sitting outside in the cool weather I'll be as snug as a bug in a rug....
Another recent Op shop find is this sewing box.......
After the Bright market and a visit to the local Op shop,I spied this little beauty on a high shelf above my head.
It needed some tricky, tip toe action to reach it.
It's quite heavy with a wooden base and was made in Czechoslovakia....
I ummed and aahed.....did I need another sewing box?
Of course not, but at $3.50 it was a bargain and would anyone else love it and appreciate it?
The inside is pink satin and in perfect nick apart from the strip of fabric on the RHS which I assume held reels of cotton....

How many items do you think you have to have before you can call it an obsession/collection?
Back to Monday and it was a lovely day, perfect for gardening.
I pulled all the spent plants out of the vegie garden along with the Zinnias.
It was great to be out in the sunshine enjoying the Autumnal beauty...
