I love op shop scores. Guaranteed to put a smile on my face :)
Today I didn't find ANYTHING for the kids, but four things for me! A red Suzanne Grae skirt, which is too long for me but easily altered and PERFECT for a red, white and blue party I'm going to in a couple of weeks (friend's housewarming on July 4th weekend, her hubby's American); a gorgeous Basque summer dress (totally out of season but will be great for Christmas parties/an autumn wedding I am invited to); a David Lawrence winter-weight wool skirt; and a Myer long-sleeved top. All perfect fits, perfect condition except one skirt is missing a hook & eye, and for a grand total of $12!
That was probably my karmic reward for taking the younger two children to an indoor play centre today! Although even that wasn't too bad, Alastair found a 'friend' and played really peacefully and Evie was quite happy running around in his wake, so I got to knit for a few hours.
All I need is for the packages I'm waiting on to arrive, and it'll be a near-perfect day. Maybe if the dishes fairy just did all my dishes while I was at school pick-up ... ?
