Oppie finds...


On my windowsill in the kitchen, overlooking the backyard is a new-to-me blue Twinings tin donated by a thoughtful friend, and like the red tin awaiting a herb planting... LOVE...



Discovered while Op Shopping: a huge stack of mostly children's patterns to make or re-purpose...



...feeling the 70's love with a groovy apron in new condition and these two novels, one for my Anne collection and after finding out that Emma collects Wuthering Heights books I happily donated the other one to her bookshelf...



... perfect vintage sheet, NZ bowls, Mugs amazingly hand made in Ulverstone which is where the Oppie was!, Canister spotted by my beautiful friend and handed to me (50c woot!), Teak serving tray, table cloth and in the back, which photographed poorly a stunning hand crewel stitched peacock destined to become a cushion I think! - all cheap as chips...



... and Munchkin sized granny-hand-knit lightweight jumpers, brand new - $1 each! 


I was so fortunate last week to get the opportunity to go on not one, but two Oppie road trips with two different friends and both resulted in lots of treasures! As well as the ones above I also scored a fabulous stack of Vintage sheets which I will show you tomorrow. Both days were lots of fun and you can't beat great company with friends, yummy food and a good chat! 

Yours in Oppie bliss,
