new old

I woke up this morning with a little present from SARS in the bank. The South African Revenue Service finally paid me back for the dedication with which I shop and spend (beyond my means...?)

So naturally I felt that I deserved a few presents. That and the fact that I needed to go source props for the A+ decor shoot on Wednesday was a sure recipe for shopping.

Now while most girls will head straight for the malls and designers boutiques, I head for the second hand shops. Not because I am cheap like that (I AM, but that's not the main reason...) I just believe in the beauty of old things, I love character and I LOVE a bargain...

So what did I find today to treat myself to?

 Pretty music note ribbon. LOVE. (Merripak, R8 per meter)

 Literary delight - Treasure Island | Tom Sawyer | 20 leagues under the sea | A tale of 2 cities. 

 A new (old) chair for my desk.
