Our Western Op Shopping Adventure!

Oh quick quick! Will's sister Marg just took Jai for a walk to the shops, so I have a free 20mins to do a blog post! {clapping hands!} It's the first time she's ever taken him out, or even offered to, so I hope they both survive! {giggles} Better get cracking!
So nearly 2 weeks ago, Will, Jai and I set off out west for another Op Shopping adventure. This time we had Penrith in our sites, and were hoping for some good finds! You might remember this post about the things I left behind, well here are the things that came home with us!
Sorry for the grainy pics, I'm not sure what happened there, and I've put all the stuff away & I don't have the time to get it out again and take more pics. You'll have to squint and enjoy through the grain {wink}.

A pretty good haul! I didn't tally it all up actually, but it was roughly $55 for this lot. A sweet deal!
We had lots of fun cruising around Western Sydney, checking out their Op Shops. We visited 9 shops in all, and the best (for Pyrex) ended up being The Salvos at Penrith, but their prices were high, compared to other Op Shops in my, now rather extensive Op Shop visits! We even visited the 2 nearest to us on our way home, just for a little extra!

I'm pretty sure this Yellow Agee Pyrex Carnival Dish, is one of my favourite dishes in my collection. It's so unique! I haven't seen any pattern like it before, it's gorgeous! It was $8 from Salvos at Penrith, and I nearly squealed and threw myself at the shelf when I spotted it! The blue dish under it was $4.

LOOK! Another "flame" Agee Pyrex dish!! How excited am I about that {jumping up and down on chair}. I don't have this bowl, its one of a set of 3, and I have 2 of the large size orange one, but neither this red middle sized one, or the blue smallest one. It was $8 at Penrith Salvos, and I'm one bowl away from a complete set {cheering in background!}. The green Pyrex nesting bowls were from Salvos at Lidcombe, and cost $1 and $2 respectively. I really don't need to collect more plain coloured Pyrex, but I could cry at how cheap that is! In the end I thought they'd look nice on the Christmas table, cos they're a lovely green. Now to get some red and white lollies to put in them! Or a Red and Green Christmas salad (better think healthily, I'm sure I eat enough junk at Christmas!) The octagonal glass lid is a missing piece for a matching Agee Pyrex casserole dish I have! It's one of the earlist pieces I have, and I was STOKED to find the lid! It was $1 at Vinnies Penrith. The J&J Pyrex plate matches the triangle shaped mini casserole I got in NZ, this plate was $1.50 at the Fusion Church Op Shop in Penrith. The little Boat Shoes are for Jai for summer, $5 at Vinnies St Marys. So cute!

And I even scored some Staffordshire too! It was $3 at the Fusion Op Shop Penrith. {high five!}
Odds and ends I found were a bag of plastic nuts and bolts for Xander for $1, a Viewmaster for $1 (we had the slides as kids and they're still at Mum and Dad's. This way 2 people can look at slides at once and not fight, cos now we have 2 viewmasters! It was $1 at Vinnies Penrith. Peek a Blocks for Jai for $5 per bag- MUM, I got the Train one that I passed up (and regretted) at Epping that time. Yay!! {party hooter going off!} Vintage linens for $6 for the place mats, and $4 for the sheet.
So it was a great day! With lots of awesome finds!
