thrifty riBer hop .... blogtoberfest

 whisked away this past weekend once again

was a little thankyou to some of the amazing helpers

from our Playful Market

so spent some time at our riBer cabin

thanks for a fun time miriam, katrina, amanda, kate & genna

just the "ladies" this time ... plus Oscar

had to have another wagon group pic taken ....

a op shop hop was in order on Sat morning

3 op shops out of the 6 i know of in Echuca/Moama

& the farmers market .... lovely time

and then on Sun morning a fun visit to the Moama market

& the Little Birdie's market & the Port ....

.... to taste some Port ... & see the "steamers"

 so here are some more thrifty finds

there are distinct patterns here if you notice

some Tups ... 

children's books/toys

something for me

something for the studio/market stall

something retro ....

do you spot it .... oooh ???

when i spotted this aqua blue jar i was almost jumping out of my skin!

you see i have been collecting for years these retro jars ....

some have had cork tops & some glass lids like this one

i love the siluette shape without a top ...

they are lined up in a quirky spot ....

but until now i have only managed

red & orange & yellow & mustard & emerald green & brown

 the count thus far is 15

ranging from about 12cm to 22 ish

great classic retro colour palette

but i know the aqua is out there ....

my mum has a couple!

she needs to keep an eye on them or they may 'walk' my way!

.... but i found one .... & now it's found a new home

yeah i've searched on eBay & often found them

they go for too much in my book

& there's not quite the same thrill of the find in that!

... so yay for up-cycling ....

 joining in with Blogtoberfest once again ....

so stay tuned  .... you can join in too

today is day 1 .... thanks Kat!!
