op-shopped: linens and a little camera








the op-shops are starting to fill their shelves with plenty of fresh stock now after the christmas/new year lull.
i've found a couple of floral sheets, some still in their original packaging which is always a bonus plus some pretty tea towels, table cloths and hand stitched linens.
the little Hanimex camera caught my eye for 50c. I will have to look into getting some film for it and trying it out.
the English-made fish moulds intrigued me. not sure what to do with them as yet.

have you had any luck at your local oppies of late? 

I also picked the recipient of my doily dream catcher give-away and the winner is Leisa of vintage bird girl. if you like op-shopped treasures and vintage fashion you will love Leisa's stylish blog.
I hope to share another tutorial (and give-away) next month too.

  2. Oh hooray!!! How very exciting! Thank you so much! I love your new old sheets. Aren't they so special when they are still in the original packaging. That embroidery is beautiful too. Xx

  9. My friend Julie has some fish moulds swimming in a staggered formation above her kitchen bench. Your linens reminded me of a stash I found whilst secretly culling toys in the girls room again. Time to get cracking on a few items of interest.

  11. Great finds Zara. I haven't hit the op-shops for a while, I feel the need to now! I love those fish moulds, you could make a great wall display with them...firstly I thought in the kitchen but how about in your bathroom? Just a thought :) Have a lovely weekend x
