My finds Monday - sweet pink watering can

How cute is this little pink retro watering can? It's not vintage (there's a recycle triangle on the base), but so sweet that I don't care! Yay!

Vintage toys as inspiration

These felt and embroidered houses are so sweet, someone has to make them.


This clown is creepy. Don't make this for a small child unless you want to give them nightmares.



Happy little lion. I'm definitely getting a lion vibe at the moment.
It's a bit too cliche, but Kingston loves them at the moment, so I might have to tweak and play to come up with a cool variant.



Every boy loves dinosaurs, and king is a little obsessed, his bed is covered with them. But I think this one would eat all the others and poop stuffing for a week, he's huuuuge!



I love how this kid is such a runner that not only is she wearing a harness, but that it has bells on it just in case she does escape.

Vintage knitted toddler yumminess

Ooh, some sweet finds!
















Beautiful knitted lovelies. I'm just not a knitter though, too impatient with my turtle-esque skills.
If anyone wants these patterns, let me know and I'll send you a scan. Don't want them to go to waste!

Porkie pie mark2

Very happy with how the pork pie hat has turned out. Soooo fracking cute! I think I need to tweak the pattern a little more so the seam on the top shapes it better & so less blocking is required. But otherwise it's pretty sweet.

BUT
I think for the time involved and the price I need to charge to cover my costs it ends up much more expensive than similar hats being sold by larger retailers. So not viable at this stage. Ah well, maybe in the future.

Op shop treasure

You know how you get that sudden magnetic pull when walking past an op shop? Yes, you know the one. Well today that pull was hard. And with only $15 in my wallet my brain fought and wanted me to walk on by, but boy am I glad I went in! Four score and all for under a tenner.

A delicious red hand knitted or crochet bag with metal chain handle and pearlescent plastic clasp. Quite roomy too, so actually usable even with toddler in tow. My foot is there for size reference, not because I think anyone really needed to see it!


Next up a pair of very cute soft pea green vintage buttons.


A very cute slide viewer in what seems to be bakelite.


An the piece de resistance, auh hoh haugh, is this old first aid kit which includes 'cellulose fibre wool' aka cotton wool, and 'essence of sal volatile' used as a 'heart stimulant for weakness,nervousness and mild smelling salts. Take 1 to 1 1/2 teaspoons in a wineglass of water'
Needless to say I won't be using any of it, but it's super cute!
