Not much time for op shopping this week but I did manage a quick visit to a favourite local haunt and 'unearth' a few treasures...
A wonderful vintage atlas for my growing 'map' addiction, some music scores, a couple of old books (a girl can never have enough of these in her stash!) and some pretty saucers to add to my growing teacup and saucer candle collection.
I am playing along this week with Sophie and Apron Thrift Girl head on over to see what discoveries have been made this week in the world of "Op Shopping".
My collection of old frames from various thrift shops is coming together nicely. For ages we have wondered what to do with a blank wall in our house...a collection of old and tattered frames in all shapes and sizes was the answer! A few cans of white gloss spray paint and various travel and holiday photos has created a wall of memories...and no more blank wall!
Back tomorrow to share some card crafting...bye for now x
My map bunting turned out really well!!

oh great finds. LOVE music paper-hard to find! But my FAVOURITE is your blue plate. GORGEOUS colour.
Lee, you have linked to Sophies blog but your blog isnt linked to the Flea market finds posts. Would you like me to link you up to it and then everyone can click to see your finds?? I'll email you about this too so you can do it next time.

Glad you like the idea! Although I cant claim it as my own idea I can say
that I am very pleased with the results, the old repurposed frames look
great and the phptps and memories of our travels breath new life into an
old product! Let me know if you give it a go yourself!!
