As promised, I popped into town this morning to check out the op shops.
It's a small town, so there's only two, but I came away with treasures:
A 1950s-style chair ($30: perfect for reading by the fire until I decide on what I want there in the long term), a stack of old National Geographic magazines ($5: because every holiday home needs old National Geographic magazines!), a white plastic tub for doing dishes in ($2: I'll get plumbing and a sink installed eventually but in the meantime I can get water from the toilet block taps), a 'Be a health Kiwi' poster ($5: a surprise find in an Australian op shop but stranger things have happened) an old biscuit tin ($2) and a tea towel (50 cents).
Did you notice what the tea towel was?
How perfect is that?!

I think I've said before, your op shops leave my locals for dead! Nice haul, specially the chair, love that.

Susan: ah yes, but It's easy to have great op shops when you create them yourself ;-)
i looked, and then I looked agin... Totally gorgeous.
Created or RL, still leave mine for dead ;)
Nice finds!
Those National Geographic mags are great. That tea towel is perfect. Did you draw all of the people? Just perfect.
Mini Dork: No, I used my super-doper search skills to find an image of a fundraising tea towel with about the right number of kids on it, then popped it through Photoshop to rejig the centre section to suit my school.
