It is a little beauty! In the three weeks that I have been using it, I have recieved compliments on it every day. The good thing about it is that it opens up, and is of a medium size, so is easy to keep organised.
The prettiest things I got from an op shop this week were these lovely dahlias. The red ones are as big as a baby's head, absolutely massive, although the size doesn't seem to translate in the picture.
The ladies who grow them have been selling them at the Helicopter Rescue Op-Shop in South Lismore for years. These were four dollars a bunch. Can you believe it! When I bought two bunches they asked if I was having a party, I should have replied "Yes I am celebrating the party of life!" (but I only thought of that glib line just now) It is funny that some people think that to have flowers in the house means a special celebration, while I try to have them in all the time. (Just like Elton John!)
Join Sophie at Her Library Adventures and Selena at Apron Thrift Girl for more finds.
Too fabulous - the bags and the blooms.
ReplyDeleteElton would have loved the ladies at the Op-Shop, they would have saved him enough to feed a small nation.

I do like your groovy handbags (and remember having one very similar to the brown one when I was little) but it's those dahlia's that I LOVE! Those big blousy heads and the colours...just gorgeous! An old fashioned flower, but definetely a beauty.
ReplyDeleteI love those bags I have some I pull out and use on occassion and everyu so often I get a nice comment on them.
ReplyDeleteFantastic handbags! I love both but the first one is my favourite because its so colourful, you have great taste in bags. Heading up your way Friday next week hopefully so will give you a ring if I am!
ReplyDeleteI really like the second bag, it's very cute indeed!
ReplyDeleteyour bags are very cute!!
ReplyDeleteWOW those dahlias are impressive!!
The second bag you have is gorgeous! no wonder you receive so many compliments
ReplyDeleteOH I so remember those HK woven handbags I had a couple in the 1970s, loved, loved, loved them♥ .. and still do but I never see them around the shops in Melbourne.
ReplyDeleteThe bags are gorgeous! And dahlias - the bigger the more beautiful.
ReplyDeleteThey are so cool, I want one!
ReplyDeleteBags and flowers - two of my all time favourite things! I agree about always having flowers in the house - they bring a room to life, definitely. I don't think I have too many diva-esque tendencies otherwise!
ReplyDeleteThe bag I just blogged about also originated in Hong Kong - completely different style though, it's a beaded evening bag.
Oh, and I'm your latest follower ;-)
ReplyDeleteBeautiful dahlias! I am starting to think about planting mine. Our seasons are opposite of course. And the handbags are simply perfection!
