It's the "Dollar Day!"

Well, it wasn't really Dollar Day at the Op Shops when I found this haul, but it may as well have been! Will and I headed out to some new Op Shops I hadn't visited before- Salvos at Belmore and a tiny Uniting Church Op Shop at Penshurst and I came away with some bargains!

 The Tea Cups and plate were $1.50 and 50c respectively. I didn't know that until we got to the counter and they told me the homewares were all 50% off. I do pick the best days to visit Salvos! I just LOVE the cups and saucers, so retro with those pretty blue flowers!

And I think I have a new found love for Japanese stoneware plates. I loved this one with strawberries on it! It's a great size for me to have a piece of cake on for arvo tea {wink!} And they are fairly indestructable, so I'm happy to have it in general circulation at our house.
The orange Pyrex mug I spotted at the Uniting op shop as we parked the car. I could spot it a mile off! Well, I spotted it in the cluttered window, which was set back from the road, and in shadows, as I sat with my face pressed against the car window cos I couldn't wait long enough for Will to park the car! I must have had my "Pyrex Eyes" on!! It was $1. Can't complain there!
Then I found these 3 sweet little deer statues for $1 each! The lovely shop assistant said they had belonged to her. Thank you for giving them up! You know I love Woodland! So they are happily prancing between the dishes of my Pyrex Shelves now. {smiles}

 Have you been Opping lately? I managed to visit the same Salvos at Lidcombe 3 times in 4 days. I wasn't planning on it, it just happened that way. And I still found stuff to buy every time! And I found an orange oval pyrex dish on the 3rd visit that I hadn't seen on the previous 2 visits, and it had been there, cos they helpfully have the date received on the price sticker at our Salvos, and it had been there since the beginning of June! See, it pays off to visit, and re-visit, cos you never know what you'll find!
I did have a giggle at this post by the Joyful Treasure Hunting because she's so right! She has great tips on how to be a good Thrifter :)
