Tuesday, July 24, 2012. Florals and fabrics and other finds. Here is a recap of some recent(ish) floral, fabric and other thrifted finds. Some pretty Cowboy western style cotton voile: I am thinking a pretty tunic or blouse. Floral tablecloths: I like my florals big and bold! Another) vintage floral sheet. And yet another) vintage floral sheet! Paid a LOT for these sheets at the opshop: $18 *gasp* but I love this design and I justified it because last year I scored the lemon double set for only $2.50!

Idle Pines: Wynnum Op Shopping Guide
http://www.idlepines.com/2011/10/wynnum-op-shopping-guide.html
Monday, October 31, 2011. Wynnum Op Shopping Guide. I think Wynnum would have to be the best opshopping location in all of Brisbane. I have the details of 11 op shops in Wynnum for you all! Easily all within walking distance and close to the train station and bus stops. Visiting so many op shops is quite a big day: dont forget to take a nanna trolley if you are going by bus/train and remember to take a break for snacks and lunch: opshopping can be tiring work! I have made a. Wynnum Op Shopping Google Maps.
