We started at the south end at Brotherhood of St Laurence, 12a High St. Little Jack sat with the op shop lady and pulled faces, and I picked up a long sleeved top for $4 and a worn-in pair of shoes for Jack, also for $4.
Then we headed north to Mental Illness Fellowship at 454 High St. As well as a pair of Target trousers for Little Jack ($2) I found the following treasures:
They had half a rack of new hand-knitted baby jumpers for $6 a piece! This one won't fit Little Jack until next winter (or the winter after) but for $6 I'm happy for it to take up space for that long.
The rug is crocheted, I suppose. Can any crochet fans confirm this? I saw a similar one at a CWA-style stall at Northcote Plaza a month or so ago for $50 and almost bought it, so when I saw this one for only $8 I snapped it up!

Ha ha, this is such a cute post! Next time, why don't you include Little Jack in one of your photos? He sounds adorable!
Loving that crochet rug. What a bargain.
Bargain! Gotta love a bargain :)
Lovely Sweater and Blanket. I think the blanket might be loomed flowers sewn/crocheted together but I can't be 100% sure! :-)
Yes it's crocheted. Here's the one my mum made for me http://www.flickr.com/photos/kirstywh/283446209/ when I was a babe and has passed to me for mine. I think it may have been in a WW supplement in 1971/72.
Looks crocheted - what a bargain! An absolute heirloom to treasure :)
The shawl is crochet and i believe the daisies are made one at a time and then sewn together. I had one as a bub which was passed onto me in 1970. I loved this shawl so much that my mum was able to purchase one for me for my eldest son when he was a babe in arms. That was 1997 and set her back $90. You sure got a bargain.
