Vinnies in Briar Hill.

Passed Vinnies yesterday on the way home from Greensborough, and having a free afternoon, decided to drop in. They had another stack of craft magazines, so I borrowed a chair and spent the next half hour going through the mags to make sure I wasn't buying any that I'd had before. I usually sit on the concrete floor, but yesterday was sooooo cold, the ladies at the shop insisted on bringing a chair over to the bookshelves! (a side benefit of being a regular customer).
This beautifully embroidered doiley cost $4.


Patchwork mags 50 cents each.


Half metre of quilt batting - 50 cents!


This scarf is absolutely gorgeous - the photo doesn't do it justice. Polyster, made in Korea. $3.

Wonderful finds. I'm jealous. I have a few things to post too, but am finding it a bit tricky at the moment... sick toddlers!

I popped in to that Salvos a few weeks ago and found some real bargain. I picked up a little jacket and other clothes for HALF PRICE - making them $2 each - turned out someone put wrong tags on a whole lot of clothes and it happened that all the ones I picked up were from the new lot! I was happy as and with the extra money drove down the street to check out the other op shops in the area...
