Things of wonder, mystery and intrigue. . .

Today's #BEDM is all about collecting and I would say I am a collector of curious objects. I can't put my collections into any specific category they are just things that I am drawn to at boot sales, jumble sales and charity shops! Many of the items I buy I either use, revamp or recycle.

Here are some of this weekends boot sale finds!!


I am collecting lonely vintage tea cups at the moment to turn into flower arrangements, with vintage buttons and ribbon to re-sell at a vintage fair later on in the year. When I have finished one I will post it for all to see.

I also bought a whole heap of vintage scarves but this doggy one is my favourite and I might even keep it :)



The other thing I collect is crafting materials for card making, scrapbooking and revamping! I have a craft room (With a bed in it, so I guess it's just the spare room but a girl can dream!), which my family fondly call 'the Dorothy room', where all my projects are stored and it is slowly creeping into other rooms of the house also. Take a look:



Many of my things in the Dorothy room are thrifty finds like my wizard of oz picture that I picked up for £15 at Richard House Charity shop at Faircross in Barking!! My vintage phone was salvaged from my Dads electrical shop that he recently closed down. My little china rocking horse was bought at a jumble sale for 10p!! I do love a bargin.

Reading this post I am starting to think maybe I am a hoarder as apposed to a collector!! Potato, patata, tomata, tomato!

Well back to my lazy Sunday! And time to catch up with Glee and Once Upon a Time!
