Thrifting, mail and off to Sweden (not me!)

Today the small vikings and I did our rounds and we had some great surprises.  At the post box we collected a package and inside was this:  the sweetest card and a Happiness Kit from Kelly at Little Bubble and Tree.  It was a Thank You for a great time at Magnolia Square.  Thank you Kelly, your card will go on my pin board of ’special cards’ and I really need the marble cause sometimes I do think I’m losing mine.

Next on our rounds we called into the local St Vincent De Pauls (op shop/thrift shop) and found a cracking summer skirt for $6 and a collection of great Madeline videos.  I may be the only person left who has a video player.  We also met Mr Shepherd, Miss D’s Kindergarten teacher who was fossicking for crystal things for his daughter.  Miss D couldn’t wait to tell him she had had a Shepherd’s Pie for dinner.  Then we passed up a Chartruese velvet bedroom chair.  The Viking would die.

Finally I wanted to share a pretty name ‘Josefin’ – flying off to my dear friend Kim in Stockholm.  It is one of two for her friend who has just had twin girls (Matilda not pictured).  Enjoy your weekend everyone.
