recent finds

You will notice that I often do end up using what I bought from the opshops. So I don’t just buy things for the sake of keeping or displaying them. I tend to look for things I can use around the house or what I can wear. And here are my recent finds:

Crochet blanket ($3) : a real common thing in the opshops but I really like this one for its cheerful colours. And it’s served me well so far as the leather sofa can be soooo cold during winter so I’ve used it to keep my bum warm!

Hangers ($0.50/pc): How can I not like these, most probably handmade by some old grannies. I gave them a good soap scrub and they are now in the closets of both our spare bedrooms!

family 041

Vase ($2) and vintage candle holder ($3): I collect all kinds of glass bottles like this and use them as vases and I like the candle holder cos it reminds me of bygone days when people used that to go from room to room…

brb – be right back…

Just to let you know that the opshop girl has been shopping but just need to find some time to post all the goodies she found lately! Stay tuned!
