I realised I haven't shown any recent op shop finds for a couple of weeks.
I also realised that there appear to be quite a few (ahem)
So here is Part 1.
please note: I am an op shop cheapskate so nothing you see in these photos was over $2, except the first thing.
That's how I roll..
If I have to part with more than a couple of bucks I have to do some serious thinking. It has to be really good/coveted/valuable etc!!!

| Unusual picnic cups.. |
 |
| And these ones in glass.. |
 |
| These were actually $5 from memory. I really love them! |
 |
| MASSIVE piece of fabric for the stash. |
 |
| I'll never get round to sewing these but LOVE the pix! |
 |
| 20c kitsch as heck thingies. Far too cool for pot plants. |
 |
| LOVE these colours. 20c the lot. |
 |
| You can't beat this old cotton. |
 |
There is an op shop here that has a free box outside. This is what I took out of there today!
We always had our christmas cards hanging up with those teeny pegs! |
 |
This will most likely NOT be used for dishes!
Happy Days! |

So many pretty colours! I love your glasses, thread, the little pegs, the pot holders, the bird towel - basically, everything! And I'm so glad I'm not the only one who has to seriously think about it if it's over $2!
I grew up with those cups, Grandma used to serve us warm Ribena in them and me and my brother felt dead grown up! x
LOVE those cups, and wow, that fabric is heavenly, even I might get sewing if I had a load of fabric that great!
Cutest tea towel - does it mean only birds can dry up the dishes? Don't show your sons! xxxx
I remember those cups, my aunt had them and we all had to drink from our fave colour one x
oohh good finds, love the wee retro shirt pattern. Think I need to venture south to the Waikato for some op shopping
Woah, what a haul. Love the cups. A lot. xx
Super jealous of that GORGEOUS fabric!
The cups are fab and those plastic bolts and nuts I remember my brother having those.
I remember those cups. I love the coloured threads, they are better quality than the threads nowadays.
I love those plastic bolts. I wonder if you could make jewellery out of them...? And amazing fabric.
I'm with Melanie on the bolts. I used to have some just like those when I was a kid. I love the birds only tea towel or is it a flannel. Oh and the cups are in the most gorgeous nursery colours. I want them!
I like you spending limit. I have been trying the same sort of thing and finding it more fun to see what I can actually find in my tiny price range. Surprisingly more satisfying!! You did well, now looking forward to Part 2!!
Amazing finds! I love the cups and the tiny pegs - too cute :)
