My find of the week is this near new hardcover textiles book published in 2008. 
I saw it for only $6 at the local oppy, took it to the counter and then discovered that books were half price that week! $3! Bargain!
It has some great projects like these gorgeous slippers to knit.
This folded Japanese quilt looks like fun and easy to make as you fold circles over padded squares, quilt them, join all the squares together and then you have a finished quilt at the end. 
And maybe I can teach myself to crochet these baubles for Maya. 
I also picked up another beautifully packaged set of sheets from my favourite op shop. 
It is only bailing twine but the blue matches the sheets perfectly! And just look at these sheets – it’s Noah’s Ark! 
I love the colours and I love the design. Not sure what I’ll do with them yet. I guess I’ll chuck them in the linen cupboard with the rest of the vintage sheet collection…
…just as soon as they’re washed and dried. I also found a set of these pink sheets. I don’t think they’re too vintage but they’ll look good with my other sheets. 
I just couldn’t resist posting another clothesline shadow shot!
Go visit Her Library Adventures for more Flea Market Finds.

If you are going to use your sheets in craft I read somewhere that somewhere is organising a fat quarter swap on vintage sheets. i think it was Bris Style. i will have a look and post it on my blog if I find it. xxNick

Looking at all these wonderful flea market finds is making me crave a bit of oppying, but tomorrow is a public holiday, so I don't know if they will be open.

What brilliant finds!! And love your shadow shot! Hope you have a wonderful week :)
Great finds! I love the crocheted piece you had the book on. The pair of little feet made the shot! The shadows make a great photo. I always loved hanging my sheets out to dry.
That book's a nice fine, but the sheets - WOW - don't see anything like them, especially in such pristine condition, in the big smoke - well done ;)
3 dollars what a bargain :))

What a glorious post ... you really hit the jackpot. If you're interested in something to do with your vintage sheets ... there's a swap happening in July you might be interested in. Visit my blog ... I posted about it only a few days ago.
