This is my latest obsession. At the moment they are all blu-tacked onto my wall but when I collect enough, I have grand plans to sew them onto an old woollen blanket like this one (isn't it perfect!) and pretend I'm a scout.
The one's above are probably my favourite.
This is basically my whole collection so far (minus a few that didn't quite fit)
I like vintage ones best, but I couldn't help but buy these new ones from the internet. I'm meant to be saving for my trip to America but I have no restraint >_>
Speaking of travel, I am off to Tasmania with the fam on Saturday - we're going to be hiking in cradle mountain in the freezing cold (wish me luck). So I will be back in the blogging world in a week or so, but until then, adios xx
EMILY!!! I got the most amazing/wonderful package today, I'm on a package high - you're so awesome! Ahhhh, can't wait till I have proper internet again so I can blog/brag about it :P I've started gathering a return package for you, I want it to be amazing before I send it but this post might be a giveaway to what I've found already for you! eep :) So fun! If you ever make it to the sunny coast, qld we definitely need to go op shopping together! Enjoy Tassie, I really enjoyed my holiday there (last?) year, cradle mountain being one of my favourite spots - I think the prettiness overwrites the cold :)
ReplyDeleteyay I'm so glad it arrived safely and you liked it :-D and oh my- is that a hint that there are more patches coming my way?!? coz the I haven't ever found any scout ones and I am in love with the ones you sent last time! and right! that would be super fun- same goes for if you're ever in wollongong I can show you all the good oppies :-P yeah I'm pretty excited really- I am just a bit of a sook when it comes to the cold haha.
DeleteYup definitely a hint :) My op shopping has slowed down a bit since we moved further away but a package will head in your direction when I've stocked up on awesome Emily loot!
Deleteooooh yay I'm so excited now! I just caught up on your posts and your new house looks awesome! no rush with the parcel- moving looks so stressful and busy, I can imagine you haven't had much time to op shop!
DeleteWhat a cool thing to collect! I don't think I usually see patches in thrift stores and such, but maybe I'm just not looking around! Your collection is lovely. :)
ReplyDeleteYeah I don't find them very often- I found most of these on just two occasions and bought up big time :-P
Deletetoo cute...reminds me a bit Moonrise Kingdom, not sure why though as I don't remember seeing badges :/ now that I know that you collect badges I'll be on the lookout for them for you ;)
ReplyDeleteyeah it is a little bit moonrise kingdom hey. I guess coz of the whole scouting badges connection :-) And yay, thanks!
DeleteThese are the greatest and totally reminded me of Moonrise Kingdom as someone above me already mentioned. The Chocolate Lover and Helping Seniors patches are by far my favorites. :) Have a great trip! xoxo
ReplyDeletehaha yeah I wish I could find more scouting badges! and they are pretty great hey, I just had to buy them! and thanks :-)
Deletelovely collection :D
ReplyDeletethanks :-D
DeleteI love camp patches. I'm selling a few in my Etsy shop. Nice collection. :D
ReplyDeletethey're pretty great!
DeleteThis made me smile. I used to have a collection of these kinds of cloth badges when I was little. I don't know what happened to them! Have a great time on Cradle Mountain. I'm jealous!
ReplyDeleteaw wish you still had it, would love to see your childhood collection! and I had a pretty super time, thanks :-)
