Yesterday was one of those days - the ope shope gods were shining their benign thrifty light down on me. I'll let the images tell you the story.

That Dolly magazine looks fantastic! I'd totally read a scan of it if you ever had the time to do it.
Ooooo, I'll have to pop in and check it out. I haven't been to that op shop yet.
Great finds for you! Even better prices.
The Dolly magazine is classic. Noice find.
The pricing is all over the shop - I mean that metaphorically, because obviously the shop is covered with priced goods.:) It's consistently inconsistent. The 50 cent bargains are unusual for that particular Vinnies (though generally, most of the Vinnies I'm familiar with are not Nana prices) - so I was extra excited.
wow, amazing finds!! and excellent prices too.. 50 cents for such gems.
Great finds! I didn't know there was a Vinnie's at Kew!! I must check it out :)
I usually resist the magazine section as my house is full of magazines (seeing as I used to work at one!!) but if I had known such amazing finds as that Dolly were out there... I think I have every copy of Dolly from about 1988 to 1991 but none from that far back! That one should be in a museum, it's so cool! Love the Cottons book too. Amazing finds. Hmm, will have to think up an excuse that takes me to Kew...
That apron and those gloves are splendid (i'm a little jealous...although I'd probably buy them and never wear them..just hang them up to look nice :) )
