  2. Don't bargains just make your day. The stools made me smile - my grandparents had a couple with yellow vinyl seats, I wonder if they're still in my parents garage, hmmmm?

    Super little gift for your mum. was it really a coaster?! How could you risk sploshing coffee on that beauty!

    Have a lovely weekend.

  5. Fabulous finds. I love the colour of the scales, and the coaster is beautiful. What a great gift for your mum. I am itching to get thrifting again - it's a bit tricky getting round a car boot in a field on crutches! I am having withdrawal symptoms, but am enjoying everyone else's thrifting finds instead!
