Thrifted

Not much thrifting this week, with most of my favourite Op-shops closed between Christmas New Year.

Four Pyrex mugs

And another piece of Pyrex.


I thrifted this dress a few months back and loved the print, but have only just got around to altering it.

Before

and After
I shortened the sleeves, took up the hem, removed the collar, and took it in at the sides a tad.

Am looking forward to some new year thrifting this week, but for now I'm off to check out all the other finds over at Sophie's.

  10. Wow, what a difference you made to that dress. I will have to bookmark this page me thinks! I have that Pyrex bowl and found the smaller one in an antique shop but it was $10 and couldn't bring myself to pay that much.
