More Op Shop purchases...

Last week Curlypops and I were galavanting around the countryside, visiting Op Shops when I found this Retro Kitchen Cabinet. I paid the nana at the counter and then Mr S and I headed back a few days later to pick it up with the trailer.

I love the orange laminate, the white pressed plasticy back...

The drawers are still in the van so I couldn't get a picture of them...

This was to be sold on but I have fallen in love with it so it stays and another cabinet I have in the lounge room will be sold instead..

I also find The Womens Weekly Cookbooks at the Oppy, this one set me back $1.00 at an Op Shop in Daylesford.....

I confess! I was at the Op shops again today....

Ihave already spent my days off work this week at Op Shops with my big sister Curlypops, but considering my favourite Oppy was closed early in the week, I though it best to drop by today after work...
I found this sheet of Calico I believe with these great prints. This is heading to the House of Pops, I am sure she will find a way to use it!

The great thing about having a sister who hits the Op shops is that she finds treasures for me and I for her!

Today I also found a local recipe book......

But my favourite find is this Vintage Mirror! The lovely green colour with the metal inlay. It says Made in England...

I just need to find somewhere to hang it so I can admire it! Head on over to Curlypops to check out another of our Op shop trips....

Op Shop Adventure in the country.....

This is the aftermath of Op Shopping with Curlypops the last two days.....

We set out yesterday Op Shopping around Ballarat, then today we Op Shopped from Clunes to Beaufort(quick stop for coffee) then on to 4 shops in Ararat... If that wasn't enough we went on to Avoca and found another Op shop!

I decided I will unpack all my purchases tomorrow......

Alfred Meakin Dinner Set...

My mum has a dinner set made by Alfred Meakin, England...

Under the plates it says "Tally-Ho"...

I have been searching the internet trying to find out more about when it was made and its value. The print is of a Fox Hunt, and mum believes it was given to her mother in the late 1950s...

She has aset of plates cups etc for ten plus a sugar bowl..

Maybe someone in Blogland may have some ideas of where to find more info???

Anyhoo I am heading into town to hit the Op Shops with my sister, hope we find some goodies!!!
