No excuses

Not being able to find my camera is no excuse not to go op-shopping...


Have you ever been to the Friends of the Repat op shop? It's been there for as long as the hospital, and is a true nanna-store in every sense of the word. It's run by a dedicated bunch of vollies, and packed with a collection of bric-a-brac, books, clothing and haberdashery... You will need to muster your patience and stay the course, because you will find something that will make you want to part with your shrapnel. 


The other day I picked up 2 lovely 50s sauce jugs for $2 (small) and $3 (large), because apparently you can never have too many. I bought my sister some hand-painted floral earrings for $2 (note: always clean earrings carefully with alcohol swabs before use), as well as a lovely black and red beaded necklace for $2 that I convinced my self comes under the category of work ware (don't ask). Oh, and a lovely dark blue wrap shirt with white pinstripes that I didn't bother trying on for $4... Oops, my bad. That'll go on the pile at the clothes swap. It's a gorgous shirt, but it was not a good fit or cut for me.


Oh well, you can't win 'em all.
