As a little reward for finally reaching 100 posts I bought myself a few things at my favourite op-shop – the Anglican Church one. I feel a bit guilty as the whole lot only cost me $3.05 because they were having a 50% off sale on clothing and fabrics.
I’ve been thinking it’s about time I made my first shirt that isn’t from stretch material and this fabric fits the purpose nicely. The zips are for other sewing projects (5c each :O) and I can always find a use for paper ribbon.
I bought this one for my grandson as green suits him and there’s Velcro tabs on the pockets so no frustrations there.
As I need to do a cleanout now that DD12 has grown so tall I know exactly where any donations are going to :D.
Cheers,
Robyn
Came to visit your blog from Down to Earth.
ReplyDeleteI love finding a good bargain in the op shops, must be time I paid them another visit.
Looks like you got some great things there!
Oh and I am your newest follower :)
Hi Robyn - congrats on your 100 posts!
ReplyDeleteYou had a good time at the Op Shop...love the red shirt.
It's great when they have a 50% off sale - I like them too :D) Don't feel guilty, am sure you've donated much more than you've bought over the years - sounds like some more donations real soon!
Cheerio.
I love the idea that there is so much available in op shops and that every time you purchase you are recycling. Isn't it great to find a treasure or a bargain?
ReplyDeleteThat is where I buy all my best clothes but in Canada . I guess it is the best way around the world Good buys. B
ReplyDeleteI love a good bargain! Don't feel guilty, feel successful! :)
ReplyDeleteWell, I tried leaving the comment before, but it erased - if it's a double, please excuse! Anyway, great post - I always love finding a bargain while thrifting and I love hearing about other people's bargains as well.
ReplyDeleteThanks for visiting everyone :).
ReplyDeleteMrs F, as both comments were relevant I published them.
Susan, it's actually a burnt orange shirt. I should fix that in Microsoft Picture Manager and repost it as red is not my colour!
