I haven't been op shopping for a while, but last week presented a couple of opportunities for thrifting - a day trip to Bendigo, and a collectables fair in Ballarat with Morgan. I am trying not to add too much to my stash at the moment, but there were a few things too good to resist, like these mini plastic baskets at 50 cents each!
An as-new vintage wool blanket. I was taken by the vibrant teal/aqua colour of this, it's unusual and very pretty. Once washed it will look fab in my son's room.
A cute little vintage quilt for a dollar.
A big 60s platter that goes nicely in the kitchen in our new house.
A couple of lovely fairytale storybooks, I can never resist these.
And this cute vintage puzzle was just 50 cents.
I think my favourite find was this vintage 1950s fabric from an op shop in Bendigo, I adore the umbrellas. I was excited to find a large piece of such lovely old fabric, quite a rare find these days!Hopefully during the school holidays I'll ge the chance to visit a few more oppies! x
