the tale of the disheartened

For a fair few weeks now my visits to various charity treasure troves have been tailing off due to the lack of delightful misfits needing a new home...the serious tidying of the messy warehouse & a 101 things one my to do list.


Even my 'box out the back' of my favourite shop has been a bit lacking...


So imagine my joy as a quick sweep of the shop with #1 son chirping in my ear about plastic guns & whatnot, my eyes glanced, looked away & then darted back...oh the joy.


Suitcase


I had been wishing for more suitcases to fill with the ever climbing fabric mountain...it even had 2 keys taped inside, now who ever manages not to lose their suitcase keys!!


& some fabric to fill it with....


Fab 


& my 'little box out the back' came up with the goods as well...cherry b welcome home.

So no longer am I disheartened I am just back on the mission remembering that sometimes you just have to wait for the right finds....


For more of these delightful tales pop over to Sophie's & maybe play along

  1. oh i'm so happy for you! as far as i'm concerned you can never have too many suitcases, or fabric for that matter!
    btw i also believe that you attract what your heart desires, it comes to you eventually..i've seen it work too often to dismiss. SO be very careful what you wish for hehehe!! x

  3. Oh beautiful! I saw an old suitcase in an op shop window when it was closed last week. I went back only half an hour after it next opened and damn that gorgeous green suitcase was gone. I blame the kids for making me late! Great find!
