Vintage treasures

 At last I have had time to visit the op shops, well one op shop anyway.  It is my usual haunt - Vinnies in Tyabb Road, Mornington.

They had so many beautiful things on the shelves I felt overwhelmed. 

Lots of  vintage linen - the little needlepoint mat is about 12cm long and looks like a tiny carpet.

Next is an afternoon tea cloth, hand stitched and in good condition.

And then I came upon this white cloth featuring a butterfly and another doiley.

The embroidered hand stitched doiley is pretty although not well stitched.


This cross stitch mat is lovely although it is badly stained and needs a good wash.

This saucer is really sweet.

Finally this old Royal Doulton plate.  




I love the fact that they have such high quality items at reasonable prices. 

The staff are always so helpful and cheerful.
