Close but no cigar
Some tins and pots on top of our kitchen cupboards... not quite a corner of my home ... and not quite a playdough table either... I picked up the bird tin (grabbed with much excitement) last week at Hype&Seek, a super funky retro shop across the road from my shop .... very dangerous to have right near where I am working... I did look for a playdough table today though..... but came home with this very fun apple platter (notice the stalk is the knife!).... better luck next time.
And here is another sort of corner of my home.... it's more of a disaster area really .... I have had my eye out for a cute little op shopped cupboard for months now...but no luck, I think there is another IKEA purchase waiting to happen here...
I wish I could pass by your place and stay few hours looking at those fabrics and chatting with you!

Cute cutting board! If you have a problem finding a cupboard, I'd be more than happy to take some fabric off your hands. :)

Super cool finds...the apple is sooo great, but the tins and pots are JUST my colors ;o) LOVELY!
Oh....neat stash of fabric you have there....I *hate* ending up with IKEA - but sometimes it's the only option! (They DO make great storage solutions, don't they?)

oooh those fabrics. I SO don't need another craft to build a stash of (but they look so pretty...)

I love all your op shop & retro shop finds ... they're the colours I love and the apple stalk knife is just so clever!

Omg, I remember making coffee in a pot just like the one with the brown and orange flowers, 20 years ago! Long time no see.

I do love all your op shop finds (it's hard not to pick up that North American lingo isn't it?!)- and such gorgeous fabrics you have in your stash. I love the bold colours and patterns you use.

Those tins are great. I love the bird one. It's so dangerous working by good shopping. Shopping on the lunch hour is dangerous, just ask my shoe collection.:) It looks like your fabric stash has outgrown your bins!
