there is an op shop near work that i have only ever seen open twice. it is one of those community run ones that seems to only open whenever they can find someone to staff it which results in some fairly unpredictable opening hours. it is one of those op shops that you have to fight the dust and rummage through giant bins and boxes to find treasure which is always hiding there somewhere. it is fabulous. and when you can fill a bag with all those goodies (including vintage pyrex) for $4 i don't even mind that it's never open. it's kind of like a lucky dip :)
p.s - sorry for my extended blogging absence. i blame year 8 camp.
i'm intrigued by the fabric- tablecloth? and you can blame just about anything on year 8 camp.
ReplyDeleteOooh that is my favourite kind of op shop- the disorganized need to rummage kind. Great finds - those duck canisters are awesome and I have that same pyrex pattern in a round casserole shape. melx
ReplyDeleteI looove the blue pyrex! Great finds!
ReplyDeleteWhat a funny little shop it sounds. Love the fill a bag concept which includes pyrex! Hope you find it open again. :)
ReplyDeletei love fill-a-bag days at oppies. and you certainly did well. love the Pyrex of coarse, and the sweet floral bowl. x
ReplyDeletewhy is it that the best op shops are always closed when you want to have a little peek? but glad you found some real treasures ;)
ReplyDeleteOh oh that makes the treasure even more exciting when you get into a shop that has crazy opening times.
ReplyDeleteThe blue Pyrex was a fabulous find.
Love v
oohh great finds and buys love them all,dee x
ReplyDeleteoh the joy of 'fill a bag days'! have found 2 more oppies down here to take you to next time we're able to do a northern rivers day... my locals haven't been very fruitful these last few weeks. hope it stays that way while i'm missing in action while bub arrives!!
