Thrifty Belated Thursday

My latest op-shopping adventure found me a Royal 200 typewriter for the bargain price of $20!

I've been on the look out for one for a long time, perfect for journalling and scrapbooking on those little pieces of paper that just won't go through a printer easily!

Thank-you to the lovely ladies at the Hobart Cat Centre Op Shop in Glenorchy for reducing this little gem from $30 to $20, I'll be back to buy more goodies to make up the difference! 

Oooh and one more mention, Hobart's Frock Up event is on this weekend, it'll be a must see, lots of antique and vintage clothing on sale!

Thrifty Thursday

I've quite come to enjoy visits to the tip shop and walking around thinking "How could I use this and that and looking for creative solutions to my storage problems.
I love the clip-it up systems and just can't afford to buy one at the moment but I've created an alternate solution.

I took these three items I found at my local tip shop....

and turned them into this

I added a long nut and a few bolts but it still needs a bit of tweaking so I can get it to rotate but I'm half way there.

I've also added a rail on a cupboard and made a few plastic hangers to store some pretty ribbons and I've got lots more to hang yet

I'm really happy with how this spot is starting to look

Have you come up with some good storage solutions if so please let me know!
