Thrifty Thursday...

28 July 2011

Its that time of the week again.....
....another chance to join in with  Janelle's thrifty Thursday posts....
As you know we have been away travelling around....and most of the time was spent in more remote areas....
but I still managed to squeeze in a few Op shop visits.

Ian was patient.....and allowed me to pop into a few as we came across them on our travels....
even though he doesn't share my enthusiasm.

So my finds this week are mainly linens...
picked up from stores in Broken Hill and Emerald.



and this dress from Rockhampton...
a little on the large side.....but I'm sure it can be taken in and will be lovely and cool in summer.

...and this one from Valley girl which suits Briony beautifully...

and this old dress.....which reminded me of Janelles green vintage dress.
Although this one isn't as stylish.....and I wouldn't wear it...
I do love the fabric....and can see it cut up into a gorgeous skirt for summer.
Oh....and it buttons up the front with cute little self covered buttons....

I hope you found some lovely treasures this week too.

  2. I love Thrifty Thursday and I am going to do a version (for my 3 readers ;-) I think.
    I love the green dress and it really reminds me of dresses my Mum use to wear. We called them her Happy dresses :-)
    Thanks for sharing.
