Op Shop Show and Tell #7

Hi thrifty friends!  I have to say that it hasn't really been a winning week (in thrift land).  For the first time my local Vinnies didn't come up with the goods.  Or, all the goods have already been bought.  It was sooo busy when I went.  Racks were empty and people hunting for treasures everywhere!

I came out with two little finds, and spied some vintage goodness that hopefully some lucky person went home with.

The Australian classic, The Magic Pudding was $2.00 and in perfect condition.  It smells like the books of my childhood, takes me back to bedtime stories instantly!

Pink, neon and gold bangle for $4.00.  I am seeing this colour everywhere at the moment.  Will be on high rotation in spring.

This red, vintage beauty case was $12.00 and was in pretty good condition.  I hope it went to a happy home!

And this lamp.  Oh it was retro-tastic!  It was $20.00.  In hindsight should have snagged it up cause when hubby saw the photo he said he would have loved it for his bedside table.  I'm sure it was gone within minutes of me leaving.

Hope I have more luck next week!  Am linking up here with Sophie from Her Library Adventures and here with Liz at the Blue Eyed Owl.  There were SO many amazing finds last week.  Can't wait to have a look at all the new treasures this week.

Op Shop Show and Tell #6

It was another good week for op shop goodness!!  I got to go on a little thrifting adventure with my sis before she headed home for the holidays.

I really need to venture out to other op-shops, but our local Vinnies (Sutherland) always comes up with the goods!

This polka-dot shirt was $8.00.  It is made of the softest cotton.  It has already become a fast favourite!

This gold, sequined cardi was $8.00 too.  When is a little sparkle not a great thing!

And....another book for the Bug.  A beautiful version of Winnie the Pooh.  I have to be honest, I'm really not a fan of the Disney version of Winnie and his friends (although Gus loves the movies)  But I really love the story and illustrations of the original book.  I think this was $4.00.

I honestly can't wait to read Gus all the books I used to love as a child. To see his little face light up when we read his favourite stories.  And, there will always be room for a classic!

I'm linking up here with Sophie, and here with Liz.  There were some amazing finds last week!

Do you shop at the same thrift/op-shop stores or do you mix it up?  Would love to know.
