Flea Market Finds

Today I'm joining in with Sophie's lovely Sunday Meme, Flea Market Finds. I am lucky enough to live across the road from a great little Op Shop, and love to pop my head in and scout for new treasures when I'm walking to the shops to get milk. It's a tiny, poky little shop, I can barely get the pram in the front door, but I always find a little treasure or two to take home.
This week I found this little bundle of goodies for the princely sum of $2.
Two gorgeous vintage books; I especially love Johnny and Sophie by the river, it's too divine. A little bag of assorted Anchor perle embroidery threads and the three rolls at the bottom of the picture are Crochet threads, perfect for when I master my Granny!
Thanks Sophie for hosting this delightful Meme. For more finds, pop over to Sophie's place.
