Well I had a couple of more finds on the weekend. It was not my intent to turn this into a thrifting blog, but I might run with it as or when it happens.
Found these lovely canisters for $3! I love red. I particularly love red as a feature in my kitchen. I have a few red feature tiles, and a couple of other red accessories. Just loved the brightness of these.
As I don't really need more canisters, I thought they might look cute as a feature. How about this ..... flying canisters (not a permanent feature, just velcro-ed to the wall to see how it looked!).
What is it about vintage things that was just so powerful? I think going back to the 60's for example, they just seem to make such a strong statement. This leads me to my next subject. Vintage Knitting Patterns!
I came across this little gem. Don't you just love it? There are a couple of things I could say about the cover, but I won't.
No prizes, no winning entry, but can you think of something he would be saying? Nothing too rude thanks, I'm pretty broad-minded, but keep it clean!
and also for this one! Note position of chair.
They are great patterns and I would love it to be cold enough to be wearing one of these classics! I'm still toddling along with the vest I'm knitting at the moment.
Have fun - I'm off to declutter.
Cheers for now Wendy

Nice cans you have there, Duchess! Excellent price, as well. You have to love a bargain. They will look fantastic in you kitchen.
I love vintage pattern anything, but completely fail at doing anything with them. So I tend to leave them at the op shops for those who can make magic happen with their crafty craftiness.
I like the idea of including thrifting along with your decluttering. However, I am incredibly biased as I am an op-shop devotee.
Love the cannisters, they look great!
Cannisters are great. I Love vintage knitting and crochet books, and I sell them on eBay too.. hubby and I often have a giggle at some of the photos. Would love to know where the girl in the green jumper got THAT bra!
Love the flying cannisters lol
I LOVE THRIFTING-only just discovered the word recently but if it means finding wonderful old pretty things for a fraction of the price (in my case Charity Shops).
Really pretty cannisters DD!
Sft x
Daff - thanks, I'm a bit of a long-time opshopper too!
Lyndel - I know - why did they wear those sorts of bras!?
Nelly - better than flying ducks?!
SFT - believe me, once you start you'll never stop!
Muppy - thanks for your comment - I have to say I'm finding your blog very inspirational lately - some great recipes.
I just had to say hello i popped over from the lovely Nelly's blog and i am so glad i did. Love your canisters they look great flying on the wall. ha ha i just had to laugh at those patterns 60's, 70's humor is the best. I am a retro girl and i am slowly transforming my home into 50's and 60's with a splash of 70's fabrics i love it well that time zone. I will be back real soon. Enjoy your knitting, dee x
so funny those patterns my slightly lighter shade of blue brain was thinking up a lot of captions for them;)
Hello Delia and welcome! I thought the flying canisters were a great idea too - maybe I can patent it?!
Cathy - I had a few thoughts about them too lol.
