Op shop goodies

One of the best things about going home to Caloundra, and there are many besides seeing family and friends... including the delicious blueberry pancakes my brother made me for breakfast on Saturday (so good I had to take a photo of them), and that's the op shops. Being a small town, there are many gems to be found at '70s prices.

I headed out with my brother on Friday to do the rounds, and after spending only $40, we came home with:

For Dion
A grey pinstripe suit ($6)
Baby blue trousers
Two fabulously over-the-top, colourful knitted jumpers (perfect for Splendour in the Grass)
A knitted vest
Black jeans
Two T shirts

For me:
A dark denim, high-waisted skirt
A bright coral skirt
Turquoise skirt
Metallic gold skirt
High-waisted denim shorts
A kitschy Australia jumper
A hilarious blue '80s parachute anorak
A royal blue knitted jumper (so warm)
And a cute little porcelain dog for my grandma who just got out of hospital

One of the stores had pants and skirts on sale for 50c each, hence the number of skirts I bought and intend to alter this week. There's something about the process of searching through op shops in the hope of finding something great that makes it all the more exciting. I've also become a bit of an ebay watcher lately and am loving this gorgeous blue basket handbag I just received this morning. A bargain at $4.75!
