I scored The Needlworker's Dictionary at the Dandenong Savers for $5.99. It's a lovely book, great illustrations, and a few pages of private correspondence tucked into the back as a bonus (I'm an inveterate stickybeak). I especially like the squirrel and bird pictured below.
Discovering Needlecraft came from an op shop in Sandringham a year or two ago. It is (or was) a monthly magazine on stitching, and came with a little project of aida cloth, threads, needle and pattern. There are 40-some issues here, most with their stitching project intact. Some day I'll tackle them! It didn't have a price on it, and when the lady at the counter said fifty cents an issue or the lot for $5, I couldn't get my money out fast enough :)

the book looks great and what a bargain with the magazines and their little projects still intact. well done. :)
OMG!! What a fantastic bargain! I have been painstakingly collecting that series as I find them in opshops, usually for a dollar per copy, and I've only got about half the set even now. Good for you!
