Major Op Shop Bargains

Yesterday saw some major bargains on the op shop front. One of the local oppies is closing down, and we were invited around the back to the 'shed' (boxes and boxes of unsorted donations) and here we struck gold.



More Johnson plates, a couple of English plates and a tea cup.



'Swift Whip. A Patent Product. Made in Australia. Patent Ball Drive.'


French jelly mould, sundae glass and Sylvac dish.


A couple of colanders, 2 mini muffin trays, and a cute painting.

All of the above plus a board game, insulated water bottle and Willow alpine jug (both brand new), spring-form cake pan, solid Anolon spud masher and pizza cutter.. all for the pricely sum of $15...very lucky indeed.

  2. Nice finds! I found one of those hand whisks earlier this year. Gives the arms a good work out which I say makes up for whatever treat you're making with it.

  8. Nice one. Pays to sniff around. I found some Margaret Thatcher signatures the other day at our local. Few bucks each & selling for around 300 pounds online. I volunteer at http://secondhandthriftstore.blogspot.com/ and tweet at @3777OpShop. Stay well.

  9. Talk about value for money - that's an incredible hoard of treasures. I particularly love the china and the jelly mould :-)
