Opshopping (or thrifting) is always an adventure. Sometimes the thrifting Gods are just not with you or you are not in the right frame of mind but other times you can see possiblities in almost anything!
Sometimes these treasures make it home, have a revamp and are perfect, other times they end up being donated back to the same charity shop.
Thrifting with friends who really get you and the whole trawling through second hand goods thing, is even better and as Pam from Bayside Rose said on her blog post today, sometimes they see things you didn't..., things perfect for you...love that ginger jar by the way Pam.
This little lamb with it's bumped nose just needed to come home with me and I have plans for it but at the moment just love to look at it's sweet face. the blue painting however did not attract a lot of positive attention from any of my fellow shoppers, it was nice but nothing special...I think it was the frame that sort of let it down...a little splash of white paint and in a different setting and all of a sudden I am in love with blue again!
In a different light, it becomes something special!
