Salvos finds

Hi y'all!
Time for another update on my Treasure Hunting!
I was heading off to Parra to meet up with a friend for lunch, when I had just enough time to squeeze in a trip to Salvos Merrylands along the way! (Truth be told I rushed around the house like a whirlwind in the morning, dressing myself and Jai in time to be able to squeeze in the visit! I have my priorities right!)
 I got a whole bunch of linens, quite a few baby pieces, cos I think for the next baby Lam (no time soon, sorry, this is not an announcement!) I would love to make a Vintage Sheet Cot Quilt. Yvette made Jaimeson a gorgeous baby quilt which I absolutely love and I'm gonna give it a go next time! I've got a few babyish prints now, and I think I will pair them with some cool retro floral prints. I've got lots of faves though, it's gonna be hard to choose which sheets to use!
I also got the cool brand new pink retro placemats. How cool are they?! Oddly, it's a set of 7. Oh wait, is that one for each place setting and one for the middle of the table? Smart! {light going on above head}
Then I got this sweet set of glasses with a chevron of dots as the pattern. I {heart} them! And all bric-a-brac was 50% off, I always have such luck with Salvos and their 50% off sales! Or are they always on sale? LOL! They were $3 for the set, so only cost me $1.50. I wish I could put them out in general circulation, but they'd only get broken here at Hotel d'Lam. We'll have to wait til Will and I have a place of our own {looks out window to see pigs fly by}.
A few days later I dropped by Vinnies on my way to work and found these beauties for $1 each at Vinnies. They have a weird "oddments" section in an upstairs out-of-the way area, which sometimes has crap, and sometimes gems. Lucky for me I bothered to look there cos these glasses are cool!
I hope you found some cool stuff this week!

P.s. I'm linking up with Her Library Adventures Flea Market Finds. Check out the sweet stuff others found too!

I am constantly amazed at your finds. I can see you flying round that house so that you can get out and look at the op shops. Great finds by the way.

Cute glasses and I am always a sucker for linens.
