I've found all sorts of wonderful things in my opp shopping expeditions lately.
I love finding treasures.
I had been looking for some simple stacking cups for quite a while, you don't seem to be able to buy them anywhere.
I was pleased to find this set at my local opp shop. Packaging still intact, no cups missing. These must have been a grandma-and-grandad's-house toy. Surely. We now have 1 cup missing and the box has gone out with the recyling in more than one piece. I tried.
I also found these old blocks. Just Liam's kind of toy. He loves matching things. They have been stacked and sorted in all sorts of different ways. He's going to be a science/maths kind of guy I think, like his dad.
And some wooden animals (you can see them in the above picture). I'd like to get a whole lot more wooden animals for the kids.

These shoes! How could I leave them behind. Not that I'll be wearing them. I think these have been in the bottom of someone's wardrobe for a long time.
I've also found lots of good children's clothes including some organic cotton ones for Isla.
And these little hand knitted slippers. A pair each.
Oh and the best old wicker dolls pram for Isla for Christmas which I will show later. I'm just making a new mattress cover for it.
And a book which I'm going to share tomorrow as it deserves a whole post of its own.

What great finds!!
Lovely finds, look forward in seeing the dolls pram. The Trade Aid shop have some lovely wooden animals...I bought a tray of lovely painted ones for the kids, they love them. xx
Great finds! We had a set of those cups...some missing of course. I remmber using them in the bath...and Grandad has those block in his toy box, I think they were his (or maybe Dad's?) when he was little! Have fun!!
I love those blocks. My grandparents used to have a set of them. My mother has them now and the colours and patterns are just as wonderful today.
Great Granny would have loved those shoes, I can see her doing a bck flip in them!
