Treasures aplenty


For $4 this English cast iron Lauffer dish was a must buy.

More Pyrex, $1 a piece


Shirt with a lovely print, just in time for Spring ($2), silk tie for the 
fiancé found by the fiancé (he sure is getting good at this op-shopping business), and two Country Road belts ($1 each)


Albert Namatjira print ($10), the large suitcase was added to the collection ($8). Perfect for storing fabric and vintage sheets; and two little pottery birds ($2).

And as soon as the camera appears so do these two...

  2. I found suitcases this week too. I have them everywhere and they are used for storage also.
    Funny thing is that when I was taking a picture of my suitcases this week our cat Lulu suddenly appeared in front of them, I had to ask the kids to move her.

  8. I am going to pay more attention to kitchen wears when I op from now on. There are some mighty fine bargains to be found.

    Love those suit cases, I have noticed varying stores cashing in on the popularity of these cases. It's good to see they can still be found cheap.
    My cases store second hand and home made christmas decorations.

  14. Love vintage Pyrex! It's the best. What a deal on that Christian Dior tie! My husband found a Pucci tie for $15 once and we thought that was a good deal!

  16. Love that pretty pyrex, I haven't found any on my op shop finds yet. Ah look at your two kitty cats, what a cute photo. My mum and dad have one of those old brown ports they store old photos in, I used to look through them for hours. Great finds Zara. xo
