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! 
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.

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
ReplyDeleteSounds like a lovely morning! And by the looks of it it was well worth it. Great scores!
ReplyDeleteNow, that bag is cool. I too am over the green bags and have made a couple but now I'm on the lookout for one like yours. Dora x
ReplyDeleteAs I spoke about with an acquaintance the other day..If you could produce a Great and stylish re-useable shopping bag you would make a fortune!!
ReplyDeleteyou're so lucky. I NEVER find swap cards at op shops.
