About Me

Howdy!

My name is Cara, I am 20 years old and I live in South Australia, Australia!

By day I work for the Police over here as a Administration Assistant. I have a brother and a sister who are both teenagers. I love my parents who I live with at the moment, while saving to buy my own home : )

I love the summer and sun and all things thrifty and vintage!

I enjoy attending op shops, markets, garage sales. One thing I would LOVE to experience would be going to some excellent estate sales in America.

I love vintage costume jewellery and buy alot of it from America and the UK, as it is in very short supply over here is Aus :(

If anyone would like to trade costume jewellery, drop me a line!

I LOVE reading, I read alot, I probably read about two hours a day on the bus, back and forth from work.

Comment: Thank you so much for a gorgeous parcel. I loved the pink lustre flower brooch (it is on my mantlepiece) and the reindeer and the cushion cut diamond and the rabbit ribbon and the stamps and lots of it. I'm working on yours as we speak (I'm making the stocking, that's why it is taking a little longer, but I will have it finished in the next few days). Cheers Helen
Response: Hi there Helen, I hope you enjoyed your stocking! I had fun getting all the bits and pieces together :) can't wait to receive yours! Merry Chrismas
