OP SHOP MAMA: February 2014

20 February 2014

Storks

6th and final edition due in August!

Currently 4 months along.

Might explain my lack of posts lately!!

Just so lacking in energy - but mojo is slowly crawling back, thanks to some mean iron supplements.

Happy Days!

Slim Pickings

This Op Shopping Mama hasn't been op shopping much!

The times I have, I have been disappointed by the lack of stuff I'm into,

and how overpriced a lot of it is..

I don't often experience this.

It will be a temporary thing, I know.

Anyway - here are some of my recent finds, like from the last month..

Very South Island-y photo in a frame.

Quite a few new shirts and other clothes actually in half price/end of season sales..

Framed picture book pages. 50c so I had to get them.

Cute quilt.

FAB jacket (vinyl) Very cool. Modelled by one of my boys.

And I hadn't finished sharing my new treasures from the garage sale series (they had at least 4 - I missed the last 1 or 2 when we were away for a few weeks)

Here and here are my previous posts about that lovely sale.

This little old doll has very cute knitted clothes - even undies. Her eyes open when she sits up.
I will give this to Iris in the future.

WE used to call these Swaps when we were kids - I'm sure they had a proper name!
A whole lot of them - SO awesome!!!

Just a selection - there are too many to photograph.

I particularly like the brownie ones. (top right)

I got a HUGE box full of olds mags.. ranging from 60s to the 80s. I am loving reading them. There are all sorts.

When people first got freezers, they also needed a publication to explain how to use one.. it includes what to freeze, how to freeze it, how it is safe, how to thaw etc... Fascinating stuff!
