OP SHOP FINDS....

I am a huge believer in the power of positive thinking, you know that what you put out there you can receive. And quite often things happen to me because I have been thinking of them. I know we all experience this, and it just makes you believe that the universe is as unfolding as it should, as in 'Desiderata'.
And I had another of these experiences op shopping last week. It goes like this...I had wanted to sign up for Kellys vintage sheet swap again, but hadn't found any sheets for a long time, I actually thought I had used up all
my vintage sheet luck!!. And that week I stumbled across these....



Sheet swap here I come!!



Does anyone remember Jessie the Elephant?. Apparently she is a
famous Australian elephant who was a gift to the NSW government
from the king of Siam, and was a favourite attraction of Taronga zoo, giving
thousands of rides to children for many years. This is the story of her life. I love reading elephant stories, and I would love to suggest the book 'Modoc' by Ralph Helfer for the most amazing elephant life story. It is a great read.



One of my all time favourite movies is 'The Notebook' and Summer and I
hired it out last month, and had a good cry, it is such a tear jerker of a film. And then it was on T.V last week so we got to see it again, and yes, again, I cried!. I decided that I was going to read the original novel that the movie is based on and wondered why I hadn't read it yet....I walked into the op shop
and there it was. Hard cover. I had never seen the book before. I was
very excited.....



And Summer had seen some photos of Blythes on the web with cute little baskets as accessories and asked me where she could possibly get them. I said I didn't know but we would just keep an eye out in the op shops.
And that week we found these......!!!. She was very excited...



5 little Blythe size baskets!!
So the power of positive thinking, send it out to the universe
you never know what may come your way.....
wishing you all some op shop luck!. x
