Trademe treasures...

Who doesn't like a bargain?Trademe is a fantastic site for buying more junk, I must say, I have purchased a few disasters but on the whole, I have got come really good stuff for some really good prices. One of those is the fantastic NZ made RedHead coat I got for only $5.50 which I bought for my sister (you can see her wearig it over on Poppies and Daisies).
Thought I would share three of my other gems..one of which I haven't seen in person yet..

The first is my new Church Pews...I had these on my watchlist just for curiosity sake...and then they were offered to me and I didn't see the email as I was at work, R bought them for me...what a surprise. Luckily the lady selling them lives in the next street over so we can lug them down the street...so watch out for us scurrying down the street with a couple of church pews tomorrow. Who knows what we will do with them, but they were only $50 for both of them...bargain (I think!!).
The second of my marvelous buys tonight is this fabulous piece of fabric, it is quite big..big enough for a skirt should I feel the need to be covered in teacups all day...not sure what I will do with it yet.
My final piece of Trademe joy is this piece of vintage carpet which I bought a while ago and finally got round to getting it edged...it is LOVELY...I love floral carpet and am always on the look out for more pieces.

Wow, the church pews are fantastic! Are they for inside or outside?

Love the fabric too.

Painting sounds like a good option for tonight. Hope the trip to Mot goes OK.

Church pews? Maybe you could convert the garage into a chapel. I adore the fabric. I'd love a piece of floral carpet for my room at the new house. XXX
