Hi, I'm River from Riverside Wonderland.
Thrifting (op shops, garage sales, markets etc).
And, because I can't resist it, nature, writing and crafting.
Reduce, Reuse, recycle, repurpose

I thought you might like to see an example of how I use some of my embroideries as patterns for my fabric. 1. The Original. 2. The Fabric Pattern. 3. My finished Beannie.

I was given this for free at a local religion based op shop because, reasons. I was happy and grateful to receive it. I did a 'reading' and 'techical skills to help people' was revealed. Using Oracle cards (or an app, or a board set) is a great way to get you to think differently about things.

Santa called. He said your presents should come from a small Aussie business this year. Something about elves needing a break and supporting local legends instead. 🎅✨ #ShopLocal #HandmadeHolidays

Sometimes I look at the art on my walls and think about how the idea of art may be older than the idea of walls.

I left these behind, but do you ever wonder about the story behind what you find in the op shop?
There were 3 more behind these ones. Obviously someone's collection. I'd like to think someone was decluttering, but I think it's more likely someone died and their collection of pug mugs got donated 😕

The less I consume, the better I feel.
Chasing the Joneses is a costly race I’ve no interest in running.
Simplicity wins every time.

Word of the day is ‘librocubicularist’: one who loves nothing better than reading in bed.
(Not easy to say, but I’m glad to know it exists).

'Horistes Burl Scoop' ~ Wooden scoop carved in Horistes Burl wood (with live edge) from Australia.
Suppose it might also make for a good back scratcher.

Important tip to anyone who wants followers.
Write a bio.
I follow people and then check their followers and following lists to see if I should be following any of them. If they don't have a bio I don't follow. I'm sure other people do the same thing. It really is that simple.
