Habby thanks to Hubby

Today my dear husband asked me to drive him over to get a haircut, so I thought.. oh I'll pop into a few Op shops while we are out.

I had some good finds on Sunday, so I was hoping I was 'on a roll', and I was.

A beautiful white damask tablecloth with blue edging, with an all over Scottish Thistle pattern was my first find, then a whole bag of embroidery threads, including nine new DMC Antique, Precious Metal and Jewel threads, a couple of rolls of narrow ribbon (.50c a roll), a crinoline lady crochet corner hankie, and a whole card of lovely coffee colour lace.  -  2 Malvern Op Shops, 2 Ashburton Op Shops, and a nice haul for me!

I also picked up a few more knitting patterns, and a small quantity of quite plain wool.
Finished off with a nice coffee and cake out with a very smart looking hubby!

Out and About on a Tuesday

First day open for a few OpShops in my area, so I dropped in at Ashburton to the Community Services OpShop on the corner of High Street, near the railway.  They'd had a huge tidy up over the holidays, lots of fresh new stock out, and I scored this lovely little pottery Cat, a rose brooch made from a necktie, another brooch made from a large button and a kilt pin, a piece of what at first glance was vintage fabric, but its a Retro Style made in 2004. Ladies Ironing how lovely!!! And.... a TeaTowel with a dog made into a cushion, but strange large size, more like a PillowCase.  Don't know yet what I' ll do with that.
So, a trip to the PO and Bank to pay all the bills that came in Christmas Eve (Gas, Electricity and Phone all on one day!!), at least ended with a smile on my face.

So, that was Tuesday, what will Wednesday bring?  May head out Mt Waverley / Glen Waverley way.. .. depends on what else I have to do.
