Sandler clogs, $2.99, I'm pretty sure they're not that new, so they must be from the '90s as that was the last time there was a big clog revival!
Hand woven (at least I think so) rug, $19.99.
Crushed velvet embroidered pants, made in Pakistan, $4.99... the embroidery is all done by hand. Click here to see what they look like on!
Homemade maxi skirt with huge graphic floral print, $4.99.
Cute Japanese ceramic figurines for $1.99 each and a Vilene (interfacing) user guide for 99c... yet AGAIN with the sticker right over the main part of the cover (one of the only things I don't like about Savers!).
Cute illustrations inside!
I was very happy with this haul, but then went again to Savers the other day and got absolutely nothing. It's just the luck of the day, I suppose.

OH I so have to agree with you on Savers and their bl&%@#y stickers! grrrr.. don't ask me how many knitting patterns I have NOT purchased that I truely wanted but NOT with that huge, non-removable, absolutely horrid BIG sticker.
Hippy amazingness - LOL! Do you ever wonder why opshops suddenly get a whole heap of stuff on one theme? All of a sudden - Japanese, Chinese, Scottish, craft, and so on. Makes me wonder who has died, and which relative had to clean out the house.
YES Gina, know what you mean... I found other Japanese ceramic things there that day too. Maybe it's just the way the universe (or Savers?) works!
Wow! What fantastic finds! I LOVE the clogs and the maxi skirt!! I live near Savers Frankston and usually find some good stuff there too :)
You have such an eye Ms Fourth Daughter. That skirt. The colours are just right.
Oh my, that skirt is gorgeous!! And the clogs!! Lucky find, and so cheap! I have been searching for some closed toe clogs for winter on ebay and have my fingers crossed that a pair from the 70's will pop up in an op-shop!
Love the velvet pants :) Not my style at all, but I once picked up a pair of stretchy crushed velvet hot pants in Savers and thought they'd look good in a lingere-way on a fashionable lass and handed them to a gorgeous thin girl at the change rooms. I was so nervous but thought they'd look great on her! Didn't see her put them back, so hopefully she didn't think I was an idiot :)
Scores galore, I'm jealous!

Dandenong is a great area to find really different items, I find there are always lots more unheard of brands and labels than I see in other suburbs.
I haven't so noticed the trend as much as you and Gina have, but I do agree that when you haven't been op shopping in ages you tend to find a pot of gold when you next go! I'll have to take some snaps of what I bagged today! :)
