holiday flea market finds

On Anzac day afternoon, i took a quick stroll in the rain, with a stroller, to try to woo a wee one off to sleep. It didn't work, but I found a local oppy in Augusta WA (red cross) that was chock to loaded with good things...

Bought two by dinosaur kits for the wet weekend, which led to an inevitable dinosaur off.

And these lovelies: all for $17

2 x matching doona covers
1 x pillowcase
1 x large coloured doily
3 x gorgy blue linen placemats
1 x big wildflower tablecloth
2 x fabuloso made in Korea coffee mugs - have made it to the front of the pile and are in constant use!
please note my aversion to anything remotely ironed, neat and orderly.
