Looting the bay

Back from the drive to the bay. Made some stops at op shops (found a list here). Very lucky haul. Here goes:

Loot (part 2)

When I saw these wine corks, I went "ARGH!". That's because a few days ago, I saw this and in a lemming moment went and made a costly bid on Ebay for a big lot of wooden spools (still on the way). When all I need are wine corks (smack!). Just 50 cents. My vintage trims (no, these are not from the op-shops) looks happy on them - they can do a mushroom thingy line up later.

Nah, not really going to start collecting vintage ceramics. They will make great craft containers - but perhaps we should use them for food.

Loot (part 1)

The all important crafty pile - wool jumpers for felting, fabric remnants, pillowcases, etc etc. I admit that some are not really my style but I got them anyway.

Cost of the entire loot: less than $50. Whee!
