Some of my Favourite Op Shop Posts

For the purpose of this post and others like it I may do in the future, "op shop" will mean op shop, thrift store, secondhand shop, true vintage shop and any other place you may get "pre-loved" clothing, toys and homewares, including online.  I fished some really fantastic things out of the bin at a sharehouse I was living at, once, and I am extending "op shop" to include things like that, too.

This post is essentially a list of blog posts which I have found especially inspirational or inspiring.  In some cases I searched through many posts by a particular blogger to find just the right one, in some cases I knew exactly what post I wanted to feature before I even started.  I hope from here you get some wonderful, inspirational ideas!
They are in no apparent order save for the order I found/rediscovered them.

First, a little shameless self-promotion with this post of my own: Things You May Not Know About Charity Op Shops

2. This post about clothes swapping by Agy: Have You Been To A Fashion Swop?

3. Thrifted maternity wear with Erica: Human Friendly Fashion Blogger Outfit- Maternity Edition

4. This one at I Love To Op Shop, in which I quite like the ugly clock: How Ugly is my Clock?

5. This adorable collection by Op Shop Mama, as I'm a sucker for a kid's xylophone: But Wait, There's More!

6. This one by Ali, because she opens with a delightful pun: Confessions of a Serial Shopper

If you enjoy reading these, let me know.  I would love to make another list for you.  Lists are cool.
I was a bit sad that some of my all-time favourites are from blogs that have been taken down.  Boo! :-( Lots of gems here though, all from blogs that are still up and have a lot of interesting content. :-)

Do you have a favourite op shop post or thrift blog?

Shameless self-promotion

Hello lovelies!  I know I haven't been here for a while, but I'm hoping you still love me...




Yes, I want something from you.




Don't worry, you don't have to vote.




I would like you to visit my shop-blog here and see if there's anything you would like to buy, maybe follow the blog and see what is added in the future.

Everything is handmade by me and I use as many recycled/upcycled bits as I can.  I have an Etsy shop here with lots of things (ok, 28 things) in it, and I am moving the whole thing to my shop-blog (blog-shop?  someone confirm!).

Basically, if you could drop by and make me feel popular, that'd be great; if you feel moved to buy something from my Etsy shop or my blog shop, that would be most marvellous!

Signed with love,
Cassandra Louise.
