Beyond the Op Shop

Tuesday, February 05, 2013






This week, I managed to thrift, without entering the shops.

First, looking for a tripod, I ventured into a camera shop to find they were having a garage sale too.  Instead of tripod, I left with a set of drawers and vintage china.  To make it even better, the rest of the handles were tucked into the drawers.

Then on a lunch break, I spied the office next door moving out. After some curious questioning, I was the new owner of a random oak drawer with a brilliant handle, 5 metal rubbish bins and vintage Christmas decorations to get me through the year.  The kids are taking great delight in swapping around the bins/drums/seats and running their hands through the decorations.  I have to admit to gazing at the decorations on the odd occasion too.
