lot's of shopping

 I have been doing quite a lot of opping lately.  Some by myself and some with my middle daughter.

The beautiful mirror was just what I was looking for: it will be lovely downstairs.  I paid $10 for it at Outlook in Mornington.

 The sparkly top in great condition is by Geoff Bade.  Great with black pants.  $15.  Vinnies.

 This sweet little tin was also from Vinnies.  $0.99. Mornington.

I was unable to resist these beautiful doileys.  Only $2 each.  A great buy.

 And more.  All handstitched with lovely edges.

   I bought this little glass "box" which was made in Italy.  Does anyone know anything about this piece?  It is very pretty.

 It was only $3!!!  A real bargain in  my opinion.

 And then there were the tea towels.

So many to choose from but I had to stop somewhere.

 Lovely new linen tea towels are so good to have stacked up ready for use in the kitchen.

 And finally I bought these posters
for a young friend in Sydney. 

There are six posters which were put out by the Australian War Memorial.

I know Declan will love them.

These were only $1.00 each at Vinnies in Oakleigh. 

It is ages since I have been to this shop and my daughter was planning a trip there  this week so of course I couldn't resist the opportunity.

It is a fairly big store in a side street off Warrigal Road and they have a huge variety of items.  Lots of clothes, shoes etc as well as a big collection of retro furniture.  Lots of bric-a-brac and linen.  I found their prices over all to be quite reasonable although doileys were too expensive at $5 a piece.

After Vinnies we we went to the Salvos in Atherton Road, Oakleigh.  Another great store with some beautiful glassware and craft suppllies.


I will show you what I bought there some other time.
