a bit of this a bit of that: Op-Shop Show Off: 27 August 2013

this was all in a days work out at the (op) shops

 cute bear I couldn't resist

Books. I always look at the books. 

I was very happy with the Wind in the Willows book. 

It has those amazing thick pages with absolutely vivid colours in the pictures.  

And how many Hansel and Gretel books does a family really need? 

We just HAD to have this one with moveable characters. 

Spot the little hand keen to do some moving. 

and instead of waiting forever in a day...

 We painted the little house printer tray (from the first photo) 

for Storm's room straight away. Was it sacrilege to paint it?

 It's now in her room but we don't really have anything to put in it.

Maybe her Lego Friends could go in there?

and I may have painted the little letter holder (also in the first photo) 
to change it up using Talia Christine's idea.
I'll save that for another time.
