Sange and I both share the love of a great bargain, so a trip to Sange's is never complete without a trip to the local op-shops (plus the op shops are so much better up that way than the over-scavenged Sydney shops). I discovered my love of op shops at a young age. If it was school holidays, sometimes as a treat my paternal Grandparents used to take my brother and I along on their weekly trip into town for bargain-hunting at thrift stores, then food shopping, then McDonalds for lunch. And my Mum was always finding amazing clothes for $1 and then altering them to suit her at home with her sewing machine.
So, here's the yield:
A Pierre Arletty for Katies dress, red with white piping, hailing from the 70's, $7
A blue and white terry towelling dress hailing from the early 80's,$8
And 1 pair of 10mm rosewood knitting needles, $2 a pair, but I couldn't be bothered taking a pic of those.
oooh, love the dresses! good finds.
