I'm giving you my favorite oppy details because it is more than just an ace place to score cool stuff.
It's the place I go to cheer me up, have a gossip about Thornbury /Preston goings on, feed my addiction to acquiring stuff, and hey, I'm helping a good place do good things such as putting on free lunches and providing training for the longterm unemployed.
I've always said op-shopping is all about timing, so I guess I must time it really well whenever I visit!
I Always find something to buy there (and believe me I am discerning when it comes to op-shopping these days), so go and check it out...and tell Megan and Iggy that Liz sent you!
Careworks Op-Shop...head down the back to the Warehouse and start fossicking.
Handy press studs (for eyes and noses)
A fishy plate (to help me get over the Great fish plates smash of May 2010)

Cool old Quality Street tin (unfortunately empty, but WOW, I would have loved to get this for Christmas every year instead of the weeny box). And this kids blue chair ( which is the little brother to my wonky green chair), will be useful for this!
Thanks for the link Liz. I know you love this shop.
ReplyDeleteHave a great week and see you next week.
My Flea Market Find
Wow, that blue chair is blowing my mind. I have the same one but in green, it was my mums! Thanks so much for the oppy tip, can't wait to check it out xo
ReplyDeleteI haven't checked that one out for a while - must remember to stop on my way past next time!
ReplyDeleteThey sure are some wonderful finds!
ReplyDeleteAren't the press studs gorgeous. I wonder why they are always packaged on white/red/blue card?
i love both chairs... ànd the fish plate
ReplyDeleteDon't those press studs look great all laid out like that - like all your collages! And the chair - wow!
ReplyDeleteWow what fab finds, the vintage habby and that chair gorgeous and I'm with you re the quality street yum those green triangle ones are the best chocolates ever.
ReplyDeletethe tin made me smile i love a good tin!!! sorry to hear about your plate you new one Is very nice though x
ReplyDeleteYes,I fancied the Chocolate Noisette Pate (or the green triangle ones) the best.
ReplyDeleteOh Liz - my 2 best pals and I are planning a trip to Melbourne - perhaps we will get to check out your awesome oppie in person - are they open on week-ends?! Imagine having all those chocccies - yuuuuuuuuuuummmmmm!
ReplyDeleteLove your finds. I also have one of those quality street tins. They are the perfect size for a cake - I tested out this theory on the weekend with an apple tea cake - the tin keeps them quite fresh also. Love the fish plate.
ReplyDeleteThis one is a fave for me and M.I.L too. megan and iggy are hilarious. Iggy has had a different wig on each time we've been lately. I was there on Fri and scored some great fabric and a cool orange type writer. Very happy.
ReplyDeleteThose two chairs are too lovely, but alas... where is Papa Bear's?
ReplyDeleteWOW you're so kind to give us a heads up - if I ever go south I'll pop in ... love your finds too ;)
ReplyDeleteAll great finds! When you wrote that the press studs are great for eyes and noses I thought you meant as piercings...that it was a new fashion that I hadn't cottoned onto. Saying that, a vintage button here, a press stud there might be quite unique. I have seen people walking around with chicken bones throught their noses, a bit of vintage might give them some class! xxNick
ReplyDeleteSuch good stuff! Loving the chair and that out of control fishy plate.
