dress: nanna's, shirt: belonged to my mum, stockings: kmart, boots: dr martens.
C calls this dress the 'Mrs Orford' dress because he remembers having a very Nanna-y primary school teacher who wore similar dresses. The shirt was one of my mums from a few decades ago. I have probably posted its label before, but I just couldn't resist. Gaylord forever.
Today Sara and I went for a drive to find props for the project she's putting together (mentioned in this post). We went to an opshop (thrift store) on the outside of town and it was like heaven. It is the king of all opshops. It is so huge it even has a big cafe in the middle of it and also sells groceries.
We had a fairly quick look around (by my ambling standards), got some bits and pieces for the project and headed back. These items were just a few things that I grabbed when they caught my eye. I especially love the thermos with the little side pump. I think I won't be able to help myself and I'll likely head back there again this week and to the one on the complete other side of town too. I am considering buying one of those dorky wheeled shopping bags that grandmas have to cart opshop finds around in while I bus around town.
+ Sara scored this typewriter today for $4. It needs a bit of a fix up, but in the meantime it is nice to look at!
I am very fortunate to have some very lovely blog friends and Adeline is one of them. I can't wait to write her back.
