    I've never been to a country op shop, I bet they are just a little more lovelier than the ones I've been to.

    I have an idea for your hankies...perhaps this paper lantern by Lola Nova

    Yay I would definitely recommend starting a Johnson collection, it is pretty addictive once you start anyway :). That is the prettiest tapestry and wow, all those thrifted sheets, love them. Oh and a giveaway, you've got my attention now. x

    Excellent, excellent finds. Do you know Made by Mosey? She makes the most amazing hankey blankeys. They'd make some super sweet bunting too. Kellie xx

    I've always had this fantasy of one day going on a road trip going from town to town, op shop to op shop, throughout the country, & coming home with this amazing car load of stuff that all cost 20c each.....

    I have made a bunting-esque string from my thrifted hankies. Tie them together (corners) and string them up loosely. It looks lovely.
