Little Boy Blue Pepper Pot, Weirs second hand furniture store, 50 cents
Elasti-cat, St V de P , $2

I am so looking forward to the weekend - fingers crossed for a catch-up with the lovely Vintage Bird Girl!!  Dear H is away to a conference for a few days so Dear D and I are planning to get up to some mischief ;-)  We have a trip to the library and to the swimming pool all planned, but I think she is hoping for some shopping and chocolate as well, and also some DVDS and popcorn.  Last week we watched "The Hunger Games" (awesome) and Alvin and the Chipmunks: Chipwrecked" (kinda cute).  This weekend she wants to watch "The Lorax".

All in all the forecast is for a good weekend: Hope you all have a great one!

PS I found this truly awesome Poodle Barometer in the "Free" box outside Weirs Second Hand Furniture store which is located a block from my work place.  It is a wonderful store for old furniture especially made from Kauri and Rimu which are beautiful, and now protected NZ native timber.  When I saw this I immediately thought of Vix.  No visitor to my office has dared to comment on it (yet).  I think it is because it is so desirable and gorgeous.  What do you think?

    I love that green poodle thing from the free box! I often wonder what gets hiffed out by shop workers who think that no-one will want it!

  3. I love your outfit - so bright & cherry - I also love your office friends.

    I can't believe that wee poodle was in the "free" box! Weird they thought no-one would want it, does the clock still work?

  4. Thanks for the lovely comments. The poodle just screamed "SAVE ME!" as it sat amongst the tupperware lids and mismatched placemats and whatever else was in the box. I did not even hesitate. "You are coming home with me!" I did say this aloud and it is possible that some one heard me but I did not care.
