<br />
<br />
<br />
Who doesn't love visiting op-shops. They are a treasure trove for vintage items, furniture, handmade goodies, pictures and sometimes even the kitchen sink. I am supposed to be good and not buying but instead thinning out my collections. Temptation is too great I am afraid, and I again found myself drawn in by the lure of rummaging to find that elusive 'gotta have' bargain.<br />

My favourite from this treasure hunt would have to be the ballet pictures. I had a set of these on my bedroom wall as a girl. The Baby Planter is a rare find also...dont see these around much any more and I love the pastel colours. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
I am pretty pleased with my vintage finds........what sort of things do you look for in the op shops?</div>

I have just purchased this model vehicle Nissan Dualis and while it is in the shop getting a couple of cosmetic things fixed I decided to do a full comprehensive list of features on this amazing vehicle. This vehicle test drove beautifully and is the ultimate in luxury The list of features is astounding. I look forward to getting used to them all. When I have a chance to drive it more I will do an in-depth on its driving capabilities and features. The specs for this vehicle are readily available on the net.</div>

Loving my job.......it's a delight to get up and go to work....I feel privileged and humbled by it every day.<br />
<br />
I spend my days caring for the aged. A job that is so very rewarding and a delight. Recently while visiting with a sweet gentleman he was telling me stories of his youth and how he met the love of his life. His story was so animated and full of emotion, with memories that seemed liked yesterday to him. The details were clear and his eyes shone with joy at its telling. If that's not rewarding, then I don't know what is.<br />
<br />
They each have their own stories to tell and it just takes someone to listen to remind them their life is interesting and important. Sometimes I find as children of aged parents, we ourselves forget to listen to them, I mean really listen. I myself have been guilty of this because life gets busy, with families of our own, and jobs and friends. Too soon they are gone and we are left asking ourselves....why didn't I make more time.<br />
<br />
In a world so full of technology, we have forgotten the simple art of conversation. To look someone in the eyes and listen to what they have to say, no matter if it is trivial or unimportant, if it's important enough for them to want to tell us, then it should be important enough for us to listen.<br />
I hope one day when its time for me to be cared for, that someone takes the time to listen to me and my tales of my life.<br />
<br />
Look out for those who are aged in your life, talk to them, listen to them, offer them your undivided attention, but most of all, don't forget about them. Take time out of your life, it doesn't have to be a<br />

<br />
Remember age catches up with all of us and we will soon enough be in their shoes. Would you like to be forgotten........<br />

<br />
I have had a very slack year where this blog is concerned but a very busy one with RL. I have stopped posting to my fb page Shabby Prim Delights, as I no longer have the time to spend searching Pinterest for pictures and while I am no longer active on it I have left it up for others to use the images for inspiration. <br />
<br />
Well, firstly the reason for no time anymore....is...drum roll..... I now finally have a job. After 4 years of looking and applying and the hundreds of rejections and the hundreds of more 'no replies' I am now working as an aged carer for a wonderful company who care as much for their staff as they do their clients. I get up looking forward to my work day where my jobs are varied as are my wonderful clients. I can be doing anything from Walking/washing a beloved pet, to a few hours shopping, a quiet chat, and coffee, some light housework or a drive to the park. The stories of the past are varied and delightful. Growing old is not easy, nor is it one any of us looks forward to...me included, but I hope that myself and others like me help make it a little easier, and a little happier.<br />
<br />
My relationship with my birth family continues to grow and move forward. With each visit, I learn a little more of them, and them me. It's very comfortable each visit, with no awkwardness and its like I have known them a lifetime and not the few short years. I visited the beginning of December and will be returning in January for my sister Michelle's (M3) 50th Birthday. On a sadder note, one of my other sisters has been diagnosed with breast cancer and has begun her battle with the dreaded disease. She is way braver than I could ever hope to be and has always a positive thought. I have no doubt she will win this battle purely on determination and sarcasm. My only wish is that I could be by her side every step of the way, but as that is not possible I instead keep her in my thoughts and my heart. <br />
<br />
This will hve to do for now other than to wish you all a Happy and Wonderful New Year from my family to yours.<br />

This was only the third time I had spent time with all of them since the very first visit 3 years ago.......only this trip was so different from the first because my birth mother and I were to meet. I arrived on a Tuesday and Wednesday was to be the meeting day. Stress over the meet weighed heavy on my heart and my nerves were shot. I stayed with my oldest brother and his beautiful family only my brother thought it funny to countdown until the meeting.......this added to my already strung out nerves. I was to arrive with my sister in law and my brothers followed. We had to stop at some traffic lights and for a fleeting second I Contemplated jumping out the car to avoid the impending meeting.....fortunately I thought of the fright to my SIL and decided against. A few minutes later we arrived at my sisters where I was to meet my birth mum. I got out the car only to freeze....tears streaming down my face, I was unable to move. By this point my brothers had arrived and somehow through either gentle coaxing or just pulling me along ( of which I cannot remember) I entered my sisters and through the darkness (as the blinds had been pulled against the heat of the day)....I vaguely made out the shape of my birth mum through my tears, and gravitated ( or was pushed) towards her.....tears streaming down my face. After that everything is a blurr......the floodgates had been opened and every emotion, feelings of rejection and everything I had thought I knew to be true then discovered it wasn't came pouring out. In what felt like an hour but was in reality only a few moments I pulled away trying desperately to get control of my emotions.....to reel them back in. I escaped to the bathroom to splash my face with cool water and recollect my thoughts. I knew I couldn't hide in here forever so I headed outside where I sat quietly sipping on the wine my sister had poured. My thoughts were all over the place matching my emotions in their erratic patterns of logic and illogic. I numbly remember my birth mother coming outside and chatting quite normally with the others and I remember thinking .....how can she be so calm.....my insides where churning, my nerves frazzled....it was all I could do to sit there and not run out the door. Instead I got up and calmly walked and then sat on the pool edge distracting myself, watching the kids splash happily, whom were oblivious to the trauma I was going through. How I got through the rest of the day was beyond me....but I had done it......I had survived the emotional turmoil that was meeting my birth mum and had come out the other side.<br />
<div>
Sleep evaded me....so many questions ran through my head...all of which would remain unanswered as there was little chance of there ever being a one on one with her.....that was made pretty clear to me. </div>
<div>
The day's rolled by and there would be two more visits by my birth mum...each one ending with her regulation offering of her cheek farewell. Her demeaner was one of calm acceptance....like everything was normal.....but not for me. My stomach flipped and churned.....how calmly she had forgotten all the cruel words she had messaged previously to this visit....I couldn't forget, I couldn't forgive not without compromising my own self worth. Instead I offered respect.....not that it had been earned but more from the manners I prided myself on. </div>
<div>
My visit of 8 days was coming to an end and as much as I loathed to leave my siblings it was time to go home and collect my thoughts. </div>
<div>
I have been blessed with 5 amazing siblings who have not only accepted me but shown me more love in 3 short visits than I have ever had in a lifetime......and for that I am eternally grateful. I don't know what the future holds with my birth mum or if there even is a future...only time will tell. I won't close my heart but I will guard it carefully. </div>

~We went to Renmark to visit our dear friends and while we were there they gifted me with these amazing vintage scales. I have had my eye on these beauties ever since I saw them in her home 30 years ago (see all good things come to those who wait) so to say I was over the moon was an understatment. The scales read: "The Computing Scale Co. Dayten Ohio U.S.A. Pat Apr.24-1900, May19-1903, Mar.27-1906, style no 166. They are in perfect condition, although I don't think the colour is original but when I searched google it was impossible to find any similar in original colours but I must admit I like the gold so no matter~ I am feeling a little bit spoiled~</div>

~Now on first glance I though this was a trashed houseboat but on closer inspection it was one full of character. From the old Hills Hoist sporting old bras, to the toilet ontop of the chimney, to a couple of chooks and pots and post of geraniums...it was a delight to hold. For a gold coin donation one could go aboard and check it out.......as I am scared of everything on the water I was happy to stay land side and admire from afar. The lovely gentleman who's houseboat it was presented me with a "Rose" which infact was a humble geranium, but pretty none-the-less~</div>

~I have just returned from 6 wonderful days spent in Melbourne getting to know my birth family. It is a scary and somewhat overwhelming experience travelling to another state to pretty much stay with strangers and hope that you click....but def worth the risk...if it didnt work then I would have returned home , put it down to experience, and had no regrets. <br />
The trip was one I will remember for a lifetime.......I am very, very lucky to have the most amazing bunch of people to call my brothers and sisters. They showed me more love in those 6 days than I have ever had in a lifetime. I stayed with one of my brothers and his beautiful family, and my sister in law is one in a million. She instantly made me feel at home and part of the family. I even got to meet extended family at a birthday party and was treated to some wonderful entertaining family stories.<br />
All my life I never felt like I belonged anywhere....I always felt out of sync with everyone around me....never making friends easily...always the loner...always alone. But spending those 6 days changed everything.......I finally FIT somewhere....and that is the best feeling in the whole world. No words can describe the happinest I feel inside... a sense of belonging.....a sense of family.<br />
Leaving them to fly home, was one of the hardest things I have ever had to do in my life. I never wanted it to end. <br />
Luckily with all the technology available to us these days ...keeping in touch will never be a problem....and while its not the same as a face to face ...it is def better than nothing~<br />

~Louvre doors...who thought they would be so hard to find.....I had decided I needed some to make a freestanding divider, photo backdrop etc........when I finally found a pair ......unfortunately they came attatched too, a rather seen better days kind of cupboard. So in order to get the doors I had to buy this huge cupboard as well.....but a quick stop to hubby's work on the way home soon fixed that.......what I didnt realise that inside the cupboard was a nice little set of free standing drawers......bonus!....def explains the weight...and no I didnt think to look inside ...all I saw were louvres....pretty sure I sometimes suffer from tunnel vision. Next step was colour choice and I have gone for a grey blue by Dulux called Sky Bus Quater which I will be using as the base for my Chalk paint. I have made quite a few different mixes of chalk paint over time and the mixture I prefer is made using Calcium Carbonate. Plaster of Paris tends to get thick fairly quick....I find some of the grouts a bit gritty....and Calcium Carbonate is a fine powder that mixes lovely and smooth.~ (apparently it can even be used in spray guns so I have been told)~<br />
<br />
I am going to let you in on a secret that makers and sellers of chalk based paints don't want you to know. Calcium carbonate is the secret ingredient in alot of very expensive chalk paints. By using this mineral which by the way is very very cheap to buy you can mix and make your own chalk paint in whatever colour you want (No longer limited to only a dozen or so colours)<br />
<br />
<br />
Now as to where to buy the powder.......yes its on ebay......at some very inflated prices......but is is also readily available from Fodder stores for a fraction of the cost. It is a mineral that is used for animals as well as gardening. Fodder stores are great as they buy in bulk so you only have to buy what you need (usually by the kilo) and for less than a few dollars per kilo it is great value. <br />
Here is the recipe I use:<br />
<br />
<span style="color: magenta;">DIY CHALK PAINT RECIPE</span><br />
<span style="color: magenta;"><br /></span>
<span style="color: #666666;">2 Tablespoons of Calcium Carbonate Powder</span><br />
<span style="color: #666666;">1 Tablespoon of water</span><br />
<span style="color: #666666;">Mix together to form a smooth paste before adding to </span><br />
<span style="color: #666666;">1 cup low sheen water based paint </span><br />
<span style="color: #666666;"> Stir well before use.</span><span style="background-color: white; color: #222222;"> </span><br />
<span style="background-color: white; color: #222222;"><br /></span>
<span style="background-color: white; color: #222222;"><br /></span>
<span style="color: #222222;"><span style="background-color: white;">To make a litre of Chalk Paint:</span></span><br />
<span style="color: #222222;"><span style="background-color: white;">8 Tablespoons Of Calcium Carbonate Powder</span></span><br />
<span style="color: #222222;"><span style="background-color: white;">4 Tablespoons of Water</span></span><br />
<span style="color: #222222;"><span style="background-color: white;">Mix as above and store in an airtight container between using making sure to stir well before use.</span></span><br />
<span style="color: #222222;"><span style="background-color: white;"><br /></span></span>
<span style="background-color: white;"><span style="color: magenta;">☆.¨´¸☆¨¸.¸.☆¨</span></span><br />
<span style="background-color: white;"><span style="color: magenta;"><br /></span></span>
<span style="color: #222222;">As with all chalk paints....</span><br />
<span style="color: #222222;">you will still need to finish your piece with a soft wax for durability.</span></div>

My daughter moved out today...again.........and although she wasnt around much between her job and social life, it was still comforting knowing this was her home. I am going to miss her....... but on a positive note I also gain another room which I will turn into a guest bedroom...also handy for those nights when Mr P's snoring gets too loud. </div>

<div style="text-align: center;">
This week I have been rearranging my sewing room and trying to make it better organised, and with more room to move around and less tripping stuff on the floor. I have a system when I finish a project I do a really good clean so that everything is put away and I have a clean work area to start the next idea.....I have also been trying to learn Tunisian Crochet by watching YouTube videos. Dont you just love how you can learn just about anything on the internet.. </div>

Now before I go any further I need to explain...there are 3 of us called Michelle. I know...weird huh? <br />
<br />
Ok the first born (my older sister) was named Michelle after a dear friend of my birth mothers' who apparently had died. This sister was given into the care of the grandfather (birth mothers dad) to raise. I was born next but given up for adoption upon birth and therefore not named.....I was given my name by my adopted parents (pure coincidence). Next came my brother Peter, my next sister called Michelle (Given the name again for the memory of the lost friend) and then the last two siblings Tammy and David. Hence the 3 Michelle's...we call ourselves M1, M2 & M3 so we don't get confused.<br />
<br />
Now our meeting......I had preveiously met my oldest sister Michelle and my baby brother David when I went to Melbourne last year so I had already formed a bond with them and felt comfortable around them so they were the ones who picked me up and took me to my sister Tammy's house where we were all meeting. I was very nervous to say the least...but I needn't have worried. They were so wonderful and so accepting. It was the best day of my life! <br />
<br />
To finally meet blood family is like nothing I can describe. Its seeing people with similarities, its finding you have similar tastes and likes and dislikes....the things I knew were missing from my life but could never put my finger on quite what they were. No matter what anyone says...blood is blood. My only regret is I never found out I was adopted earlier...I feel like I have missed out on so much with them.....and its not easy also living in a different state from them all. I miss them all terribly and look forward to going back to spend more time with each of them.<br />

I have been Spring cleaning in Autumn...not sure why that is happening but at least I am motivated. Its probably that same motivation that sent me off to the sewing room. I always like to sketch my ideas first....then comes the fabric choices followed by trims and notions. That part alone (the selections) can takes me hours sometimes....and I have also been known to walk away at that point and put the project in the 'Too Hard" basket. Not today though...........here is my Shabby Delights Dreamcatcher<br />

<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
~I am a hoarder.....there I said it out loud! </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I grew up in a time where we didnt have much, and what we did have was either a gift or a family hand me down. We had bought stuff too but it was chosen with great care for durability more than looks. Christmas and birthdays were a one gift item and often of the pratical nature and not for fun. Nothing was thrown out if it was still usuable...often passed along to the next person to get their use from it. Thats how I became the family hoarder......from the time I moved out of home my mother would pass things onto me with the words...... "don't you throw that out!" So here I am ...50 something still hanging onto all the "Don't you throw it outs" I did learn at a young age that all those pieces often came with a story of how they became in mums pocession, so as well as becoming a hoarder I also learned to love those vintage pieces and the history that went with them. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Thats what started my buying of lovely old pretty pieces of other peoples history....no longer content with my own I wanted more....and so it continued until cupboards were brimming over with pretty vintage china, , linens, cutlery, pictures, dolls, sewing machines........you name it...I probably have it. With each of these pieces my love for all things old grew and a new appreciation of a bygone era was formed. I not only bought pieces but researched them as well so that I could look at each item with a new found love of its beauty and craftsmanship but with imaginations of who had used it before me and how lovingly cared for it was to have survived being around for how ever many years it had before it was added to my ever growing collections. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Then I discovered Pinterest and a whole new love affair with collecting began. It was perfect....no money outlay, no storage issues, no washing or cleaning and I could change my collections on a daily basis. I could share my collections or I could could just lose hours looking and pinning. It is perhaps the perfect place for all hoarders........so if you get a chance pop over to my Pinterest boards and pin what ever you like.....no limits just help yourself....you don't even have to follow...just enjoy!</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
PS Your also welcome to pin any and all pictures from this blog...all I ask is you don't claim ownership of my images. Happy Pinning!</div>

<br />
~Whats happening in 33 days.......life changing events. In 33 days I will be hopping on a plane (scary) and flying to Melbourne with hubby and friends...where I will be meeting all my birth siblings (5)..........3 of them for the very first time and 2 of them for the second time. I will be spending the day with them, hoping to get to know them a little and them me. I have so many questions to ask but more than likely I will forget them all. How does one put a lifetime of getting to know someone into one afternoon. It is a start and one I am looking forward to in a scary kind of way~<br />
~The second part of this trip is we a doing a mini cruise with 10 friends from Melbourne back to Adelaide to see if we can all cope, so that in the future we can perhaps do bigger more exciting ones. Me and water just dont go together...I cannot swim and I am terrified of anything water related thats deeper than waist height. Then there is the whole sea sickness thing.......I dont do getting ill at all.....worse patient ever. So while these two things are big negatives in my life (Water and sea sickness) I am def going to try to overcome them. I cant do much about the water thingy but an appointment with the docs before we go is on the cards~<br />
~If anyone has some tried true methods of avoiding sea sickness I would love to hear them~<br />
