Serving up my Finds on a Platter . . or 2


Found a few goodies this week trawling the op shops, usual haul of knitting / crochet patterns, as well as an Orange chenille bedspread, two Wonderful 'plastic' serving trays, some old Patons Pure Wool Yarn and lots of cream crochet threads..

 The fantastic Bird in a tree is slightly yellowed, unfortunately,  and has no makers markings.

The one with Vine Leaves is made by the British Plastics P/L of Melbourne

Pop over to Sophies Flea Market Finds to see what everyone found this week, it is a great place to catch up with who's buying what... ...
