This was my name last weekend. 'The lady with the voice.' I went to my first estate auction. 600 lots of pre-loved goodies. 600 lots. Count 'em. Do you know how long this took. All. Day. Talk about dedicated.Along with being known as 'the lady with the voice' I was also known as 'the lady with the red and white hat', but I prefer having a voice. I was way up the back (in the cheap seats) bidding on whatever anyone else didn't want (read: looking for bargains of the vintage kind).
One of the lots I managed to snaffle was a vintage cot - but was really a whole lot of goodness to the sweet tune of - wait for it - wait for it - $5.
$5!
Included in the lot was this ridiculously cute dolly cradle that Tiny thinks might be her new bed. While she is sorely mistaken, it is a cute beddy bed for her dolly, though Tiny has beaten her to it and is lying in it in anticipation for her own bed time.
Apologies for the blurry photos but it's difficult to negotiate lying still with a 14 month old with arms and legs a-flapping. 
PS - It's Mrs Bug and Pop's birthday today. Go on over and give her some birthday wishes. She's had a big week doing this.

Fab dolly cradle!
Thanks for the heads up on Cindy's birthday.
What a bargain - GOOD stuff - I often want to go to things like these - just never know when they are on let alone am free. To many people here like what I want!
So cheeky you are!! You could of at least added that I will be 21 today as well!
Oh TINY! Of course you should sleep in there. You are a munchkin, tiny, yes you are! If only you could shrink yourself a wee smidge, it would be completely perfect.
I have tagged you to come and play a game if you wish. Is a bit of fun. Hope you play...xx
Great score. I really must look at estate sales
I love this, I love that it was $5, and I love that Tiny has claimed it for her very own.
5 bucks for that adorable bambi number is a steal. those last min loud mouth tactics and all day dedication have done you proud. tiny will thank you i'm sure by loving you forever and playing with it for hours giving you plenty of me time. all round great investment clever mum xx
Oooh - what fun you must have had. Very good pick up with the cradle.
