Dress Form & A Box

Posts haven't seemed important this last week as the Queensland floods have been on our minds.  Lucky for us here on Gold Coast we are all safe. My heart goes out to all that have been affected as the clean up now begins.

I was heading up to Bundaberg last week but unfortunately the roads were cut off and this made it impossible to get through.  So I decided to spend the day thrifting instead.  There were lots of finds that came home with me that day but the best by far was this gorgeous 1950's adjustable Acme dress form.

Some vintage beads and pearls to dress her up.

Another interesting find was this old box that I spied in the corner of the thrift store. Love old boxes and especially ones with original lettering.
I removed all the electrical tape that was stuck to it and found it had these wonderful metal sides. It was wet and smelley and the kids were not impressed that it was going in the car. But it has since dried out and with a good clean it can now come into the house.

The sun is shining here today so we are hitting the beach. Hope your all having  lovely weekend.
