daily musings of a vintage addict * I am totally obsessed with all things vintage * trying to keep up with my past...and sometimes ordinary everyday life

My Photo
Name:
Location: Katoomba, NSW, Australia

here I am in a little cottage that evokes the energies of my ancestral lands - a cottage on the moors of Cornwall, or on the cliff tops of Ireland or Scotland. It has a hearth. I am a hedge witch {of sorts}. I wear upcycled clothes, patchouli oil and Redback boots. I am a gypsy; an eccentric and a mystic [I often live with a foot in two worlds]. I serve my guests, tea from an old silver teapot. I love Vervain, yarrow, chamomile & mint. Star watcher and Moon gazer. story cloth weaver. keeper of family dreams and wishes. good friend and creator of life. herbal tea drinker and potion maker.

Plan ahead and dream of all the beautiful things that life has to offer

living ~ May 17

I seem to be having my fair share of op-shopping this past week. Today, I drove to Blayney ~ out in country New South Wales..to visit my sister. The op shops out there wonderful !! full of vintage treasures and sold by dear little old ladies.....who all seem to think that I have lost the plot with the stuff I buy !! I love to go out there ~ live is much slower and people seem to have time.... we went to lots of little towns - had morning tea in a genuine old milk bar called 'Garden of Roses ' with the original leadlights which were just divine !!!
bought lots of vintage treasure......well treasure to me that is ! I bought old hymn music which will be great for collage * a few old cardis * old handkerchiefs * a gorgeous 1930's cake cover * an old floral picture * and best of all ~ I finally found a sweet basket for my comfort basket. It is handmade from whicker and I think it is probably from the '30's as well....with a green chippy handle ! this cost me $5 !!
I do miss my sister........ we don't do this often enough and I think I will take an idea from Brocante Home and start sending her treats in the mail.......
