op-shop finds of the week

Here is my mixed (carrier) bag of op-shop goodies from this week!

Clauds is really into beads at the mo. Trying to find ones she won't kill herself with if she swallows them turned up these beauties, made from dyed hazelnuts! Now thats a craft I haven't seen blogged about yet!

Sadly they have already been binned as she did decided to eat them and crunched them up into little bits!

I also forgot her nut allergy (bad mummy award contender?). Slight exaggeration as it's more of an intolerance and fortuntatly the chewing incident didn't result in any problems. Phew!

A cute little book with gold edged pages, perfect for book paper folding projects.

I was chuffed when the checkout chick said it was free, hubby pointed out that was because it's a bible. Hmm. Maybe I'll save this one for a Christmas decoration paper book folding exercise.

Hurrah! More mismatched Crown Lynn cups and saucers to add to my fledgling collection.

Orrible picture with a capital O, but box frame with potential for a painty make-over followed by map paper butterfly holding. A bit pricey but crikey they cost a fortune new so in fact a good deal!

We op-shopped in pastures new this week, at the Lincoln Road, Christchurch, Salvo's. Wonderful stuff. The fun staff insisted on throwing Claud in the cuddly toy bin when she began to whinge and then bribed her for silence with biccies-she loved it! To boot it was sooooo cheap-$4 for a big bag of goodies including some amazing vintage Christmas decorations.

And that all folks!
