Vintage pinball machine

Steven sniffed this fabulous old retro pinball machine out today amongst some very smelly items at the cat shelter thrift store. Needs some work but once restored will be supercool. R7500 redone

Seriously sexy Plein Sud 100% leather pants

I fell in love with these leather pants the minute I laid my well trained-to-find-designer-garments-amongst rubbish eyes on them. squashed my now pork sausage legs and muffin top hips(thanks to birthing two kids naturally) into them. They looked amazing when I squinted my eyes and ignored the bulges. My husband very tactfully to me that they were a bit tight. Would look seriously gorgeous on a tally lady with slenderish hips and thighs or just anyone with the confidence to pull them off. Have zip details as pockets as well as up the side of leg. R2500

Another good day shopping

Went to one of our favorite charity shops today to look for suitcases and ended up buying a rug on a whim. After Steven lugged it to the car over his shoulder and we finally managed to carry it up to our condo we googled the designers name and found that we had just invested R1000 in a R40 000 rug! Another good day shopping.....
