An oppie reunion

The oppies and I have had a reunion of sorts.

For the last 4 months any spare time I had was spent solely on house related stuff. Bank paperwork, toilet choices, lock shops, deck sealer discussions, demolition yard runs, site meetings about cantankerous old houses and negotiations with four year olds about witch management.

Recently, I was finally able to squeeze in a quick visit to my old haunts. The blue casey ware vase was calling out to me the minute I walked in the door.

And there is nothing I love more than reuniting long lost oppie items. I have reunited pillowcases with sheets, brother and sister chairs, pyrex dishes with their matching lids. Two items meant to be together but often found weeks apart in different op shops.

Just like these two.

It looks like kitty really peeved off puppy before they went their separate ways. (Puppy obviously holds a grudge). I suspect I will have to separate them to opposite ends of the shelf.


And the best reunion of all? Wandering in to the Salvos to discover this unusual shaped case.

Could it be? Could it possibly be the right size to fit my poor girl who has been living in her cardboard box?

Why look at that. Just meant to be and all ready to be carried off to the next sanity sewing circle. Of course that case is not going to stay brownish gray. But you knew that already. Only two more days until Spring and I can feel my mojo coming back.  Plus I have an almost complete kitchen, pics coming soon.
