Op Shopping

I either haven't been op shopping, gotten good bargains or remembered to post them on here, but today I made sure I did!
I was lamenting after the last post over the fact I'm running out of vintage sheets, especially big ones.  ! went to 2 oppy's today (Salvo's and Vinnies) where it's all tending to be modern and expensive. So I dropped into a few smaller ones on the way home, and got luckier.

A few paleish ones, and the orange beauty, which is flannelette;


and this one. Not sure how vintage it is, but it yelled out to me, so I grabbed it 
for a few bucks.


A hounds tooth cap for $2, a mug (for a pincushion) and a few patterns;


and this was definitely NOT staying on the rack. Not for $8!!! 


It has a beautiful thick purple satin lining, delish!


Very happy with my haul! Now the washing (and soaking) begins!

More good things

I'm not expecting much good stuff over Xmas, it's pretty quiet around with no family, so I'm enjoying the last few weeks of nice/good things!! 

The delightful Cathie gifted my lucky girl this yummy Ginger house!



we decided to renovate on the way home (ie I gave it to the kid to hold) so I don't 
think there'll be much left by Xmas!)


I've cleaned out the girl's wardrobe, and had 2 boot loads of clothes and toys etc I've been (crazily) holding onto to drop of at the oppy. So I allowed myself this beauty....


and these gorgeous shoes!


The word on the street on Sunday was that Sportsgirl had these great shoes half price! a quick call to my closest one had me travelling into the city, to have it pay off with these! For $40!


Also, have started chopping up my Ink and Spindle fabric. Can't show too much here in case the surprise is blown...
