Everyone is making their own AI Action figures. Here’s mine …. Cecily and Gwen of Charnwood.

(My #societyofcreativeacronism persona)

On this day in 2015, King Richard III was laid to rest with honour and dignity at Leicester Cathedral. A king reclaimed by time, restored to history, and forever remembered.

A decade on—Loyaulte me lie. 🐗

A few highlights from my 2024. It was fun. I wish you all a happy, safe and enjoyable New Year. 🥳

A nice walk on the last day of the year. My dog Gwen appreciated cooling her paws in the water as it was a warm morning.

✨ Christmas Eve and my #RichardIII decoration, along with his faithful boar, have taken pride of place upon the tree. 🎄

Merry Christmas to all my #Ricardian friends. ❤️

The best book of 2024 (in my humble opinion) … The King’s Mother by @anniegarthwaite

There’s still time to get a copy for Christmas, as a present for someone else, or to treat yourself! 📚

Two cheaply thrifted
t-shirts made into festive cushion covers. The bottom hem and arm holes were sewn up and the cushions inserted through the neck hole.
They’re fun! 👕🧵🎅🎄

What I thrifted, and how I’ve styled it.

Thrift score of the day.
I found this mid-century chrome magazine rack for under $3 Aus.

I did a reverse google image search and found one exactly the same for sale in the UK for £175 Pound Stirling (approx $341 Aus!). Either that’s massively overpriced or I got a very good deal.

St Kenelm’s at Minster Lovell has the most beautiful ceiling too. I was lucky enough to go there in July this year. It is definitely worth a visit if you get the chance.

A beautiful sky for Bluesky. #Adelaidesunset

I know it’s still November but I’ve been #thrifting for #thriftmas. I found this red lamp shade for the base of the tree 🎄, a silver-plate dish that I’ll style as a candle holder🕯️, and this beautiful vintage green glass vase that I’ll fill with lights to glow very prettily in the dark.

I’ve also thrifted this spice rack, sugar/tea tins, a hanging trinket display and a stack load of Christmas tableware and baubles. (There are lots more baubles out of shot).

Most of these items were less than $5 each. Some less than $3.

Thrifting keeps items like these items out of landfill. 👍🏼

Any fellow ‘thrifers’ out there?

My latest hobby is ‘thrifting’, (aka second hand shopping). My personal rules - all clothing must have original tags & max spend $10 per item. Some of my thrifts: this coloured glass bowl, an urn I’ve styled as a tissue holder, a ceramic bowl and some clothes.

Hi everyone! New to Blue Sky. I have a passion for medieval history and making stuff. Also thrifting vintage decor, ice hockey (Go Canucks Go!) and diving into books. Always up for chatting about history, hobbies, or creative ideas.
