Recent Thrift Finds

Um, hello???? 

How could I possible leave this amazingly cute biscuit barrel behind? 

No, I didn't think you could either.

More bird wall vases and ridiculously cute mousies.

Again, squirrel cute overload.

A piece of Ellis pottery for an amazing $4. 

All my thrifting karma will have disappeared now for a few months.

The Sexy Man found me this 60's glazed bear and I found the vase in the middle at the back at the last Swap Meet.

 

A 60's beaded dress for $6

Vintage copper Mexican cuff $2

And a gorgeous colored celluloid bangle (top) for $10

Lovey Dovey Nails!

Woot woo, love nails!  The magnificent Kaz gifted me this marvellous super maxxed out blingy bottle of Nails Inc Bond St, cause she's just awesome like that.  I used it on my ring and little fingers, with OPI Red Fortune Cooke on my middle finger and OPI Red Shatter on my ring finer.  Stamped with Konad White and stuck on a teeny, tiny purple love heart.

Fashionista, Eventide and Stamping

I picked up a cheap Revlon polish in Kmart the other day, Fashionista, and it's a rather marvellous deep, murky Petrol Blue.  It begged for some blingy gold, so I added Femme Fatale's Eventide on my ring finger and stamped with China Glaze 2030.

Kindness In Polish END $$ RESULTS!

Thanks to all you polish Queens, we raised a massive $4,034.00 for Angie's fundraiser! 

I would formally like to thank Dead Set Babes soooooo very very much for rallying with me and making our Kindness in Polish auctions a HUGE success. I didn't know Anella at all before she contacted me offering her help, and in the setting up of the auction alone she spent 50 hrs of her time and energies...truly restoring my faith in the human spirit of generosity.  She is currently spending MORE of her precious hours tallying totals, contacting winners and then will be organising packages to be delivered.  Unbelievable generosity.  It humbles me everytime I think about her.  *sniff*

Our auction items were donated from wonderful girls from all over the world from their precious collections, as well as these wonderful Indie brands:

Dead Set Babes

Loki's Lacquer

Moonstone Nail Polish

Smudged Polish

Love Thy Polish

Crows Toes

Mckfresh Nail Attire

Powder Perfect

Sayuri Nail Polish

Celestial Cosmetics

Lilypad Lacquer

Prettypots Polish

Lynnderella

Llarowe

Shades of Phoenix

Glam Polish


Please click on the links, peruse and BUY wonderful unique colors from some very talented girls.  It is very heart warming to know that I am part of a generous community, ready and willing to help out when a sad situation like this happens.

For those who haven't been following our Kindness In Polish Facebook page, Angie passed away and her funeral was last week.  Her fundraiser has been moved to the Ballarat Greyhound Track.

Thanks again to everyone who bid, blogged and raised awareness for our auction to help make it a success.
