Thrifty Thursday...

7 July 2011

Let it be said early in this post......
That Janelle Wind is either a bad influence (the nicest kind of course...hehe)......
or an amazing good luck charm!!!

As you would know from reading my last posts....
I've had a lovely time with Janelle visiting....and we have taken the  opportunity to frequent the local Op shops (more than once...lol)

Janelle has recently been blogging a Thrifty Thursday post.... so I thought it would be fun to join in and share my huge pile of finds from this week....

This will seem ridiculous..... but I had the luckiest time ever!!!
I almost doubled my wardrobe....and all for the price of $90.00...
which when you think about it......is less than the cost of a good pair of jeans.

Here it is all stacked up....
(Check out those leather boots.....gosh....what a find...
thanks to Emily who spotted them and drew my attention in their direction)

Then a little more detail....


...and the rest.
So as you can see I was extremely fortunate to find such a gorgeous pile of new clothes....
and I will be sharing more of them in my WIWW posts in the future.

  1. hehe, I loved being a bad influence and had the BEST time Op shopping with you. I LOVE everything we found and wish more than anything that we could op shop together regularly. I am so so thrilled you are happy with all we found and that your wardrobe could grow too. Thank YOU for the best time ever xxxx

  2. What great finds Mardi. I love Op shopping too. I love finding linen items, because even if they're not my size, I can use the fabric for my projects. I love old wool jumpers too because these can be felted for projects also. I have even bought items just for the beautiful buttons!
