| I went to the dump shop yesterday. It is always crammed with stuff, but has an extremely high turnover.. especially in the Springtime! It was worth the trip. I do wish people would donate their things to charity (op shops) rather than the dump, mind you. I believe the shop is privately owned.. but I might be wrong. This is what I got:  |
| Completely kitsch mounted canvas photo. I was smitten with this! So weird I love it. It is now on the wall in Gilly's bedroom. |
 |
| I now have 6 of these exact pillow cases! These ones appear to be brand new. $1 the pair. |
 |
| Find of the day.. Genuine marimekko retro fabric. This is folded both ways.... so is twice as wide and twice as long. $4 |
 |
| Shirt. $1 |
 |
| How can anyone chuck this out?! Got this for $5. |
 |
| John is in love with this! |
I shall do a new post tomorrow with more on my recent finds from home.. but here's preview!
Linking this post up to Virginia and the other thriftaholics!
have a lovely Friday!!!

The thought of someone throwing out that shirt makes me lose hope in humanity.
Marimekko fabric from the dump shop? Amazing! That sun lounger is fabulous. Sometimes I can't believe the things people throw away.
Wow! Those are great finds. I would totally hang that up in my room, I mean my kids room.
I live on the wrong damn continent! I think I'm a bit in love with your sun lounger too. Who throws these things away?
Ahhh all those prints are calling my name! I wish there was a tip shop near me. I especially love the pieces hanging on the line.

I get so annoyed at what gets taken to the dumps!! Last week they had about 4 boxes unpacked with exercise equipment and he said they had more at the larger dump in town,Takes as much effort to take it all to the oppies I know.
You sure must have a great dump shop ours is ever so sad but I always find something each time I go.Last week was a near new Thomas train track floor rug $3.
OMG! The marimekko! The fancy-arsed lawn chair! AND THE PSYCEHEDLIC PINK MAXI ON THE CLOTHES LINE! Fabulous.
