It's a Plan!

Plan. Drive to semi rural outskirts of Melbourne.
Visit op-shops in these outskirts.
Find pretty things for Betty Jo designs. Buckles, buttons, doilies, swap cards.Have a nice morning tea by a river, and then stroll by said river.
Come home and make some brooches......Plan accomplished!Oh, and another thing accomplished...I found a pretty cool shopping bag ( I am soo tired of my green bags) It's stretchy and quite roomy.Now to find half a dozen more!

  1. This is one of my favourite treats. My sister and I hit the road every few months and do about 6 thrift shops in about 4 country towns. What fabric we find we usually share and I find four eyes are better than two for sportting the diamonds in dust.

  4. Good finds you lucky thing! I have a couple of old string bags but I do get into an undignified tangle with them, especially if my purse falls to the bottom. And getting the shopping out can be a challenge - but who cares when they look so pretty! t.x
