During the week, I was on holiday and also at home in Christchurch, I managed to get a bit of op-shopping done. I have my own way of finding things and I tend to stick away from the clothes. I am sure I will get back into restyling clothes sometime but at the moment I head straight for the linen (vintage sheets & wool blankets), the nick-nacks (brass frames), the furniture (to do up) and the books (atlases, classics and the odd cookbook)
This frame is one of the largest I have seen in my years of collecting (see
HERE) and it was pretty expensive at $12.50 but I have plans to make this into a mirror so a cool vintage mirror for that price doesn't seem so bad.
This footstool was $4! bargain! Hidden under a pile of random goods I spotted it and claimed it. It shall be recovered when I next visit Spotlight (to spend my voucher yay!)
This wee chain of frames is so cute! it was $2.
These suitcases technically wern't from an op-shop but I am going to claim it. My friend
Treena-Marie popped over and gave me these amazing suitcases (filled with some cool fabric and lots and lots of lycra - anyone want any?)
They have now turned into blanket-storing suitcases.

excellent finds and gifts!
ReplyDeleteThat massive frame will make an amazing mirror-looking forwards to seeing what you do with it, and so pleased your linking up x
ReplyDeleteThanks Max, turns out that cutting mirror is a complex task! Dave is talking me through it...
DeleteLOVE the idea for a mirror !! !! !!
ReplyDeleteAnd I do so like the foot stool
I don't have enough fabric for the footstool! I'll have to go on the hunt for something perfect. Just my luck that Spotlight ISN'T having a sale when I need fabric!
DeleteCool! I'm keen to have a rummage around in the boxes one day soon...
ReplyDeleteLooking forward to the makeover of that footstool :)
