Here are some things I bought second-hand lately. I always love to see other peoples' opshop finds, so every now and then try to remember to share mine.
The first is a simple blue linen dress with nice big side pockets. I found this for a few dollars and it needed a tiny bit of mending. I'm thrilled because there's nothing I like more than a linen dress for the warmer weather. Though I've been wearing it already with tights, boots, knitted cardigans, scarf, hat, … you get the idea. It's midwinter.
Last week I went to an opshop with the kids. They don't really like looking around (okay, they pretty much refuse to do it) but they do like to hang out in the book section and see if there's anything to read. When I went to collect them, I found these beautiful old children's books, 1950's editions. I will send them off to friends with new babies. Or… keep them for my grandchildren. Is it too early to be thinking like that?
