  1. 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

  14. 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.....

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