I wasn't sure I would be able to go shopping this week but I managed to link up a grocery shop & op shop this morning with my lovely friend Lauren. Very disciplined & seasoned op shopper indeed. I was impressed. Of course she & sister; my lovely friend Tatum & sister Jess, also lovely, are all of Green Dandelion fame & make it their business to seek out the best & coolest stuff.
Me? I have no idea what I am doing & just shop for things I am attracted to. Like this bowl. I think my mum has it? Mum? Instantly attracted and from memory only $5. Well I think that is cheap anyway. And its pretty. Green is my favourite colour. Perfect for a nice salad.
And I found all these sweet things too...
Two matching little trays - they are actually light blue - silly instagram filter! I thought these would be perfect for having a guest over for coffee and adding a couple of cupcakes or bickies to share. Actually I feel like a fraud for saying that, considering I don't 'do' coffee. hehe But there are occasions when only a tiny tray is needed. These are perfect for that. $2 each.
A tiny old hardback book on sewing. If I don't find the instructions useful I will use the lovely illustrations in my artwork. $1.
Some large needles & hooks & eyes. Couple of dollars.
Lovely linen. $2
And a matching purse for my Louis Vuitton bag that I found last week. Imagine that?!! $9 Ok so I think maybe I paid more than others might have for the purse but it matched! I don't think I have ever had matching bag & purse before.
A nice little shop at 2 stores indeed + yummy salsa & homemade wrap chips for lunch, with lovely company too, afterward.
Nice.
