I bought some books for my nephews.....the first one is an Australian History book.
Kids don't seem to be learning much about our history at school these days.
A kids bible (for Catholic school homework)
....and a book about insects!
These ones are for me.....a cool 1970's Golden Hands book
and an old Mc'Calls sewing book.
I found this dolls pram at the Clunes Op Shop. It was $10, but I only had $8.70 cash left so I asked nicely if I could have it and the lady said Yes!
...And now for the giveaway!
I found this Australian Womens Weekly knitting book from 1951.
I can't knit, but I thought that someone out there in blogland would love it so I bought it anyway.....
It has lots of lovely knitting patterns.....
.....and lots of cool 1950's ads.....
If you would like to be in the draw, leave me a comment by next Tuesday 5.00PM Melbourne time!

Yes please. Count me in. I love knitting, and books, and old patterns.
I was going to go to Booktown too but the lurgy kept me at home. It's probably a good thing - we might have met for the first time as we fought over the vintage craft books!!!
would love to go into the draw!
what gorgeous pics..
love
There's an op shop in Clunes?! I can't believe I visited for Booktown but missed out on the op shop... the pram is a beautiful find.
Please count me in! I love a good knit, and a vintage pattern always works! It looks like a fantastic find. You did rather well!
what you're not going to be a top notch knitter after brown owls...he he...

What a terrific find - I have a thing for vintage patterns. You have certainly had a good week this week with all of your deliveries!!
These are good findings. I would love to be considered for the give away. I just start knitting and I love the 50s fashion.
Oooh I'm in on the giveaway too! Don't think I'll be lucky enough to win again after my last Curlypops treat though :)
I would love to be entered as well. Vintage patterns are so cool. Cheers Kyla
Oooh! Count me in please!
Let us know if you make something from the Golden Hands book.... my friend gave me one recently - they're so fabulous!
What great finds!
I have the entire set of Golden Hands books and love them to death.
I would really like the knitting book!
I'm definitely going to booktown next time. It looks fantastic.
I would love that knitting book!!!!

Oh yes please! My wife loves knitting, and if she's got something to knit it gives me time to play GTA :o)
