A hand appliqued cushion cover, perfectly stitched.
Another pillow case made from a panel of a very sweet little cat, surrounded by pot plants and matching backing material. Both were only AU$1.00.
This is the most glorious native Australian flora folk art painting, complete with butterflies, only AU$3.00. (I must show you my flower folk art collection one day!)
A gorgeous rose accordion folder with a pocket for every month, only AU$2.00. It will be perfect for storing birthday cards in! Notice the table cloth underneath? It's made of plastic for an easy wipe down, and fits my family room dining table perfectly! I bought it, too, from a thrift store not long ago for AU$3.00!
A medium sized metal bucket for AU$0.50, which is great for storing all sorts of goodies!
Last but not least, this sweet little egg cup for AU$0.50 which I shall soon turn into a new pincushion.Have you been thrifting or bargain hunting recently? What's your all time favourite item that's been picked up for next to nothing?

I really must start going op shopping! I love the appliqued cushion. I have a little bucket like yours. I use it to take food scraps out to my chickens. They know when I have the bucket, there is food! Cheers, Christine
