Hands Up. Who likes op-shopping?
i'm still buzzing from my fantastic weekend at Bloggers Connecting. the gang of 64 included several of our loveliest op-shop show-off linky-upers: Heather, Louana, Justine, Holly, Laura, Kelly, Nin, and Maria, and even a self-confessed op-shop show-off lurker...(come on Lisa, JUST PRESS PUBLISH lol!).
i may also have been 'strong-armed' into leading a blogger raid on Christchurch's best oppie (the Lincoln Road Salvation Army Op-Shop in my humble opinion) by Ms's Cat and Leonie amongst others. i don't believe any of us left empty handed? me, i was delighted to pick up a couple of just-the-right-shade-of-beige wool blankets for my latest braided rug project.
pic-nz grooviest bloggers getting down at the dance-o-mat (come on, you know what beige blankets look like!)
are you an Op-Shop Show-Off?
or more modest about your superior second hand shopping abilities?
do you like to linky?
it’s charitable, green, cheap, exciting, fun, nostalgia inducing, potentially lucrative and often just plain necessary. whatever your reason for second hand shopping we’d love it if you joined us on Tuesdays here at blackbirdhasspoken.blogspot.com for Op-Shop Show-Off, a linky open to all, all week, to link up a blog post about any aspect of your second-hand shopping life. tell us your op-shopping philosophy, or divulge your secret hunting techniques. let us know about your wants, or skite (English translation= “show-off “) about your amazing finds. review the best op-shopping spots in your town, or request or give information on your fascinating finds, you’ll always be talking to an appreciative audience here.
How to link up?
1. post your second hand shopping related blog post.
2. link to Op-Shop Show-Off in your blog post, so your blog readers can come over and peruse or post in the linky too.
3. scroll to the bottom of my latest Tuesday Op-Shop Show-Off post and click on the linky tool, then follow the three easy steps.
4. don't forget to leave me a comment to let me know you linked up.
5. have a look at some of the other linkers posts/blogs, they're all people after your own heart!
6. grab the Op-Shop Show-Off Button from my sidebar to decorate yours (paste the code into a HTML gadget under the 'add a gadget' part of the layout section in blogger and save).
OK - you get the prize for the best photo of the weekend! Yay you got the right blankets, (rather selfishly I'm hanging out for the tutorial hehe)
ReplyDeletei'm (...verrrry....slowly...) working on it x
Deleteha ha ha.... you know what a beige blanket looks like but really you NEED to know what a group of crazy bloggers on the dance-o-mat looks like. Taking it to the people as always Max xxx Love your work xx

ReplyDeleteit's a cracker isn't it, considering the dance o mat was the only place i got my phone out. must put it in the drop box...
DeleteFantastic photo Max (much better than a beige blanket) and I bet the weekend was awesome (jealous I couldn't get down for it). I can agree with you on the Lincoln Rd Sally Army, it's always on my must-do list on trips to Chch.
