Recent Oppy Finds

a few finds from 2 recent Oppy trips, a little trip to the Kaitaia shops on our Northland Holiday and some from last week when Isabella and I spent a day looking round 11 different op shops as part of her birthday celebrations

retro cards

old patterns

think I need to start knitting again but can't decide whether Arlo should have a vintage Caravan

or Scottie Dogs

nursey prints

a little embroidered linen

more fabric

a large Crown Lynn bowl

and a $5 bag of Doilies from Kaitaia- in a lot of Auckland Op shops they seem to be at least $2-3 each
