I took photos of my favourite bargains, things like:
awesome piratey bandana (50 cents)
Queen bed doona cover - it says "LOVE", not "OVE", but my fence is only so tall ($4)
This bowl, and also
this bowl (20 cents each)
This handbag, which I carried for my school formal ($2.50 without the dog on it, I added that myself)
Patchwork book ($1)
This scarf ($1). One dollar! I like a good big scarf, very versatile, but this is extra amazing because
silk and also made in France! ... I'm not normally excited by things like that, let me have this one.
Delightful winter coat ($10) I'm not wearing it today as it's well over thirty degrees in here...
$5 outfit ($4.50 skirt, 50 cent top)
And possibly my very favourite op shop find of all time, saved until last especially...
This cup and saucer set ($2.50 for the set!)
I've also bought many books for as little as 20 cents each, PC games for $1 and CDs for 50 cents. I've bought pairs of shoes for $3 and hats for $2.
What's your favourite op shop find?
Signed with love,
Cassandra Louise.
Oh a great variety of finds!!
ReplyDeleteLiking the bag and cup and saucer very much and what a find - silk!! I've added to the Op Shop Giveaway! Thanks
Someone on Facebook has asked where your cup and saucer were made, thanks!
ReplyDeleteThere's no markings on either the cup or saucer to say where they wre made, so perhaps they are one of a kind? :-)
DeleteLOVE the scarf!
ReplyDeleteSome ace finds here - thanks for sharing! I'm a kitchenware freak so I love that bowl :)
ReplyDeleteLove those little bowls! More than 15 years ago I bought a pair of Italian leather shoes at an op shop for $5. I still have them and do wear them occasionally. How's that for a bargain!
ReplyDeleteI very rarely have any luck at op shops but I did this week. Mind you it stil cost me $8. I think I must have been to an expensive one!
ReplyDeletei used to love going into op shops but i rarely have time anymore plus I never seem to find anything I like... oh well! you had some great finds :)
ReplyDeleteHaha! There was a LOT of shopping around to get all these finds! I don't think I would have been able to find them all in the one place. Thanks for stopping by!
DeleteHi Cassandra, I love scouting for plates and cups also. Love your treasures and am thrilled that you have added my blog to your list of blogs that you like to read. Thanks. Kyrstie

ReplyDeletei LoVE thrift shops...i buy everything from clothes...to books...to knickknacks, a new (for me!) purse now and then...whatever. i just like to browse! and i like the fact that whatever i buy helps to support the charity that supports the shop! for me...here in florida...it's Goodwill, Salv Army...Humane Society...Hospice House...just to name a few!

Thanks so much, Laura. Good to hear you visit the charity shops already. I don't know why more people don't. :-)
DeleteLove your finds! I'm amazed someone would want to let go of that cup & saucer! THank you for stopping by my blog and leaving a lovely comment :-)
ReplyDeleteI don't know why anyone would part with that cup and saucer, either, but I sure am glad they did! ;-)
DeleteGuess what... your French silk scarf is a Hermés Grand Fonds... and it's worth about 300 dollars :-D
ReplyDeleteWow! That's... wow! Thank you for letting me know! :-D I knew I loved op shops! ;-)
