it's a lovely day today...

Today I headed into the country to visit with Lisa and Janelle.

I bought these beautiful little treasures from Lisa..beautifully gift wrapped! Love them!!! The little owl softie is filled with sweet lavender and the teeny, tiny artwork is just so cute on it's little stand.

 

We had a fun chat and cuppa catch up and then Lisa took me to the BEST little Op Shop! It's only open two days a week and Lisa often scores wonderful pretty things from this shop and so does Janelle so I was keen to do some thrift shopping myself.

And I did.

My big scoop of the day (thank you Lisa for spotting this one because I didn't even SEE it)...a cute little mini typewriter. I have been on the look out for one for ages..and miss my prized portable typewriter I got when I was about fifteen - no one in the family remembers where that one went ..so I was THRILLED to see this one.

It was in surprisingly good condition and needs a bit of a clean up but it works and is soooo cute..and the best bit..it was a steal at $5.00!!!! Five dollars! Can you believe it.

I also bought a crocheted doily and have plans to cut each little doily out, tea stain them, dye them and use them in scrapbooking projects!!!

and some cotton lace and this cute little fabric piece that i am turning into a mini book cover...someone has painstakingly embroidered the linen in red thread! Very cool.

and the grand total for these pretties - 80c. Bargain!!!

We then moved onto the bric a brac and Lisa scored some old scout badges and I bought a big thick dictionary...price - $1.00

I spent a grand total of $6.80

Don't you just love a bargain!!!!!

Love seeing someone else get excited about op shop shopping. Is it the thrill of the hunt, the possibilities or the price?
For me probably on any day a combination of all three.
Great stuff!

Totally jealous of that typewriter I was checking out eBay last night for one crazy prices. Lucky you!
