op shopping....


hubby and i went out shopping {just for the boring things like food} BUT we came across an op shop .... YAY!!!
Please tell me i am not the only one who gets a little bit hyper at the thought of what 70's goodies i may find inside!!
and so about an hour later we found our way to the cash register with a couple of goodies..... for $45 :}

Prices seem to have gone up a fair bit in the 9months since i have been to an op shop but hey it all goes to good causes so one can't complain too much lol

but i am quite happy with my few little treasures..... now just need to find a cute place to display them - the salt & pepper shakers will be a little bit of statue art but i will sew up a ladies dress with the fabric :P
.......mmmm i feel a display area coming on,  maybe decorated with 1970s wallpaper?!!  :)


1) some vibrant Vintage stretch fabric
2) a GORGEOUS tapestry...i have a small collection of handmade Vintage Tapestries
3) cute little 50/60's salt & pepper shaker
4) a Vintage shoulder press {VERY VERY USEFUL!!!! yay}


smiles,
