Mine's stripes.
You could say I have a healthy fascination of stripes.
Squirrelling away clothing with my favorite bold print so no-one really knows how many stripy things I have, is not an addiction.
It's more of a tame hobby.
Clashing stripes ... yessssssssssss.
Boo! What are you doing Mum?The Stylist is back at school and raring to go with all the excitement an energetic ten-year-old can muster.
First up is the school fete, which is bound to result in more indoor plants and hopefully some fab trash and treasure bargains.
Ooh there she is again, playing tiggy with Lily and she flung her cardigan into the bushes where it got COVERED in prickles.It took us ages to pick them all off but it was a chance for us to discuss ways seeds disperse their seeds.
I miss having a garden.
Not much point in starting one though, the new landlord and owners of the next door vacant block will be tearing down the fence and all the greenery within the next fortnight, while the house is set for demolition in the new year.

Our comfy old chair is looking worse for wear but she's looking much better since I graced her with this glorious, soft crochet blanket from Aid for the Blind for just $8. Sometimes I could hug the lovely people who choose to donate their clean, unwanted treasures instead of throwing them away. Thank you, whoever you are!
Lily asks, "Do I look pretty on this?"I usually pick up lovely, grannified coat hangers at Vinnies for 50 cents whenever I'm there and the wonderfully tacky necklace was 50 cents in Aid for the Blind.
The Salvos had this fascinating book detailing stories of women who have overcome abuse and found strength and female empowerment in becoming circus performers.
Back to the subject of bargains, have you seen my Goodies for Sale on my Facebook page?
No?
I'll make it easy for you then.
Visit Pull Your Socks Up! and nab a treasure or two.
Oh and I'm linking up to Jane's Shiny T Tuesday "Getting Square" party ... I figure the blanket qualifies me this week;).
Hugs,
