Thrift Shopping finds

Today was a perfect Spring day to spend in Toowoomba.  We went to drop some items into Lancasters Auction Ctr for their November 6th (Australiana and Pottery auction) and got to have a little peek!  I also go to take some pics on the phone. So if you follow me on Instagram you may have already seen these shots.

 I loved the lady head vases especially this cute one. 

 Koalas and Kookaburras by Grace Seccombe and lots and lots of pottery and enamel signs.



Then we decided to do a run around of all the local thrift shops and I discovered a box of vintage patterns, McCalls, Vogue, Simplicity etc from 1940 to 1975, so excited!!! They were all in their packets, nothing missing.  I know it must sound strange to some of you but I know there are others out there who understand my excitement. 

I also had a bit of excitement a couple of weeks ago when Jo from Desire to Inspire purchased one of my drawings from the Permanent series  from the Swich Contemporary Art Space (One exhibition) and then wrote about it on her page, wonderful!  The portrait of Kenny was my favourite drawing from the series.  You can check out the post here.
