This is my first blog post here, hello I'm Erica! You can find me over at Recycled Fashion chatting about all types of upcycled and secondhand fashion, sewing, and ethical fashion.
I love op shopping, but over the past few months haven't had much of an opportunity (!) to do so, as I have a small baby to look after. My eldest son started school this week and bubs is nearly 3 month old, so I'm slowly starting to get out and about a bit more.
Today I popped into Carrum Uniting Church Opportunity Shop, and two cook books immediately caught my eye. I've got a small collection of op shop cook books, as I'm always looking for inspiration for evening dinners! I actually hesitated on these two books because I thought to myself I actually have too many. One of the op shop volunteers persuaded me to buy them because she said they were only 50c each, and that's a bargain!
Secondly, a couple of silk scarves took my fancy at $1 each. I do love a silk scarf, and perhaps have too many of those too, but I'm actually thinking about cutting these two up to make into a top, I'm working on the idea in my head, and hope it works out.

Salvation in the South East
Today I popped by my favourite Salvation Army store out on Lonsdale Street, Dandenong. Managed to pick up 3 awesome buys all for around $13. I found an Italian silk scarf, a lovely Country Road white singlet, and a Tokito vest. A perfect little outfit and for a fraction of the price I'd even pay for one of these items in a store!
This store had some amazing branded jeans (ladies) in stock.. sadly too small for me but for any size 8-10s out there definitely worth a trip out to see. The store is open 9am-5pm Monday to Saturday. Note, there is another Salvo's in Dandenong - this one is next to a motorbike shop... a little further away from the main shopping strip but definitely worth visiting!
