I love a good find.....

7 November 2010

Like these gorgeous frames that I picked up on the way to the markets this morning.
I didn't even notice the painting until I got them home.
I think its quite cute.
definitely an added bonus!



Then...imagine my delight when I spotted this yellow bag..... for a sale price too.
Ive been coveting a yellow bag for weeks.
I was SO close to buying one last week..... it was 4 times the amount I spent today.
But Ian's words were ringing in my ears.
"Cut the spending Mardi."
Eeeek...so I didn't dare.

How lucky.
This one was waiting for me.
I was beaming all the way home.


My final purchase.
(well actually I bought this one earlier in the week ...so it isn't the final purchase...its the first purchase)

Is this gorgeous yellow lamp base.
Ian hates it !
.....he had a pained expression all over his face when I rushed in all excited.
You would swear I had arrived home with the most disgusting thing he could imagine.
but
I don't care.... because I love it....and once it gets itself a new shade.
It will look very spiffy indeed.

One last thing.
I think I have a thing for yellow.
scary thing is.
I found a cute chair the other day.
I'm praying its still at the shop.
It was timber...with a bright yellow seat and back..
I think it needs to come home with me.
