I love turquoise and have found a few items of this lovely colour in my op shop travels. Does anyone else find they go through 'colour cycles' and gravitate towards items of a particular colour? I also have a penchant for mustard and raspberry so no doubt they'll be popping up in future posts :)
I found this breakfast cookbook from 1977 for $1 filled with recipes for muffins, eggs, jam and everything else you could think to serve for breakfast... and some you perhaps wouldn't think to serve like battered sardines and bacon bananas :\
This little comb and pouch set was 50c. Not much more to say about this one. Good for combing?
I found this beaded necklace for $5. I don't usually go for chunky necklaces but I like that this one has a thin chain with the beads then attached so it sits nicely around my neck.
And finally, my favourite item which is a small painting of a girl and boy washing a little dog :)
It's 39 degrees in Adelaide today so I'm surprised I didn't melt into a puddle while taking these photos! I know it's going to be hot interstate too, so I hope you keep cool wherever you are and have a nice relaxing weekend :)
I have just came back from op shopping and I must gravitate to pink because I bought a pink alarm clock and pink photo frame.
ReplyDeleteThat's great! I need to find a new alarm clock too. I'd really like to find a digital alarm clock that's made to look like an old fashioned one but I don't think such a thing exists.
DeleteHi Bec! I am so thrilled to find an Adelaide Op~shopper. Ive been out all morning and phew it was hot at the Kensington Salvo's!
ReplyDeleteLove your Blog! Meg xx
I braved the heat too and popped out to the op shop. Picked up a couple mags and an Agatha Christie book so I know what I'll be doing this afternoon :)
Deleteoh that picture is gorgeous! I'm addicted to buying art from op shops.
ReplyDeleteYay for colour coded posts. Right now I'm all about burgundy and red shades. That painting is super cute!
ReplyDeleteGreat colour! Haven't seen it worn a lot either. Would work well for colour blocking :)
ReplyDelete#23A4C4 is the hex value, I might steal it to make some designs :p
Very pretty! I saw a Bowerbird nest once that was all shades turquoise and loved the colour ever since! x
ReplyDeleteI love that sweet little pic of the boy and girl.
