More op-shopping updates!
I hyper-ventilated a bit when I found this – a vintage butterfly display. It was covered in thick dust and looking very neglected….only $5! After a good clean with some window-cleaner, it has come up a treat. I thought my mister would hate it and do one of his ‘not more clutter!!’ sighs, but he likes it! Go figure.
An adorable 1970s girl’s dress. Those little patch pockets….waaah! I wish it was in my size.
A kind of ugly but interesting vintage scarf, which I will probably use to wrap a gift.
More revisiting my 70s childhood – this cute-as wooden puzzle – this definitely caused me to time-travel to Waitara Kindergarten 1976…I wonder if we actually had this puzzle at my kindy…it seems so familiar….
Butterfly display might end up winning favourite find of the year, 2012….on the other hand – there are still four months to go….
Yay! I love op shopped eye candy. You should just make that dress in your size because it’s super cute. You could print the jigsaw photos onto fabric and make those the pockets for an all over op shopping feel.

Yes, I think that little dress would look great on an adult, maybe without the cap sleeves, but I love the round-patch pockets! x

Subconciously he wants you to pin and mount him like a butterfly.

HAH @ the above comment. I laughed out loud.
You seriously find the best stuff – all of these things are very, very cool. I would love to see something that could top the butterflies though…can it be done?!

So did they (the butterflies) turn up because of the title on top of the book pile in your last posting?

Love Love LOVE the butterflies – happy to have them should you ever decide they need to make way for something else 😉

It could well happen, Lynette – I clutter and then declutter with alarming regularity.
