Found...

30 Apr 2012






Its so nice to have some sunshine today after all this relentless rain we've been having - though it doesn't look to last! These are some of my recent charity shop and car boot sale finds. I'm loving this Rolodex rotary card file and only a couple of the little cards have been written on.




I loved the colour of this typewriter and it looks like its never been used. It still has the little plastic cover and the instruction book.




Red Tam Tam stool.




I really don't know much about this hot water bottle, I just thought it was really pretty and unusual. I've been trying to search for something similar but cant seem to find anything!

I think my camera might have finally had it! Not only is the alignment out (which means what I see is not how the photo comes out!) I also have a little bug caught in there somewhere which I can see when I look through the viewfinder, and now today it has started making the most horrendous noise when I turn it on or off. Its all making photo taking quite hard work, but I'm thinking all this will probably cost as much to get fixed as a new one! I might have to start looking about! 

I hope the sun is shining where you are today.

  2. Hurrah for sunshine, we've got some here too, it's great! Loving your finds, I really want to get a typewriter for the kids to play with, so much more fun than the computer. Sounds like a new camera is in order; once you've decided what you want have a look for bargains, I got mine for about 1/3 off last year and I love it (it's a Canon). Rachel x

    1. Thanks Rachel, glad you have sunshine too! Yes I will have a look for a bargain. I would really like a canon. I have a Sony, apparently the allignment is a common problem with the model I have so don't want the same! I'm sure if I have a look round I can find a good offer. Have a great week. xx

  9. so much vintage goodness. As for your camera - eeekkk, sorry to hear. It's true that often you can find a pre-loved newish dslr for cheaper that what the repairs will be. x
