Here are Vanessa and I getting ready to shop!
These are our "feeling the bargain beacon" faces, apparently!
It was a fricking cold Sunday morning!
Autumn?! I think we've gone smack bang into Winter!
Bleurgh!
I wore:
Frock-60's square dance from Vanessa (ric rac added by moi!)
(We both agree that "ric rac" is a fabulous...word? term? It's fabulous, anyways!)
Cardigan-opshopped
Belt-garage sale
Crinoline (organza!)-gift from our friend Amber
Orange wool jacket-opshopped
Stole-Rangoon Musical Society sale
Tights-opshopped
Shoes-Trade Me
60's hat-vintage shop on Ferry Rd
Handbag-60's, Junk and Disorderly-no longer exists; a quake victim
60's necklace-opshopped
Other necklace-Shabby Chic market
60's clip on earrings-Kitty
Humpers-Trade Me
Vanessa got her gorgeous 50's frock in Melbourne!
We started our Sunday shopping by going out to Ferrymead, to the Toffs $2 warehouse, where sometimes a gal can score really well!
We didn't do too badly.....and then it was off to the Shabby Chic Market, where I enjoyed seeing Vanessa get fawned over by admirers!
Then we needed some coffee ( for brain cells) and a little nibble to get over it all!
Loot!
From the $2 warehouse I got the leopard hat, the navy vinyl knitting bag and the coat hangers.
From the market I got the vintage ric rac, the late 60's pendant, the 60's magazine stand and the 70's bed tray!
I'm pretty happy with my lot!

Now I wish I had got you the lemon bed jacket I saw the other day so you could sit in bed looking divine eating from your new bed tray!! Like the sounds of a $2 warehouse very much. Great scores and another fantastic day out for you again.
Fun!! I really think I will come down and join you for a op shopping adventure sometime soon. Perhaps I shall try and snap up a grab-a-seat flight when you and G are back from the states - as long as that's ok with you lovely. Friggin cold here too - Autumn my arse!
What a colourful pair the two of you are! I love your crazy fashions. Your bargain hunting day is making me envious, and that breakfast tray is wonderful, I want one! Good work!

Dearest Helga,
brill scores darl, I especially like that spanky bed tray...makes me think of being ill as a child, in the best possible way of course...I remember mum buying lot's of ice cream cause it soothed by sore throat and cooked delish chicken noodle soup all served on a very similar foldy up tray. I did buy a tray like this a few years ago from the car boot sale, it's got a picture of Spock on it ;)
Hope all is well with you & G.
Lot's of love,
Jennie

Oh how I would have loved to go rummaging with you and Vanessa, all frocked up and fabulous!
The hats! The frocks! The bags! The funnage!
Love your magazine rack, and you know how I can't resist vintage covered coathangers...
