My latest op shop find is a childhood indulgence. I saw this sweet little picture in my local Vinnies, at Mayfield, for $5. The picture is mounted on some lightweight wood, and is in great condition.
As a child I had a little set of flower fairy books, with poems and illustrations by Cicely Mary Barker. This picture is one of her illustrations of sweet pea fairies. You can see a bunch of her fairy pictures here. Just click on the magnifying glass to see them better.
I tried to talk myself out of the picture intially, saying to myself "Bek it's a picture for a little girl's room, and you have no little girls." But it didn't work! I like fairies, and always will! So the fairies are hanging on the hallway wall outside my bedroom. :-)
Linking this over to Apron Thrift Girl for her Thrift Share Mondays.
