Happy finds = happy Carly : )

Yesterday saw me travelling up to my old home base, Blackwood. Love it up there. Not only do they have some great op shops, I just love the little town feel and especially the new cafe there - Cafe De La Paix - super cute, tasty food & great coffee! I can highly recommend a visit.

Anyway - back to the good stuff! Rosie, my mother-in-law & I after checked out the Save the Children Store. There was some good things there - especially some retro clothes! If you need an 80's formal dress this is the place! I found a tea pot to replace the one I had somehow cracked, nothing too special but simple and white and a good small size.

From there we crossed the main road to get to the Salvo's store. Saw a racy red trench coat but it was simply too glossy and made me look cheap!! So left that one there! But I was jumping up and down when I found a white Witchery cardigan in top condition! Love it - and they are still having their 20% off if you show the discount coupon on the Salvo's Facebook page (valid until the end of March).

With only a few minutes left before school & kindy pick up we checked out the Red Cross Store on Shephards Hill Rd but didn't find anything. At times they have a really good collection of old style furniture and items that I love. I once found my Hermes Baby Typewriter there which was in great condition and I love it!

It's been a bit too long since I've been up that way to check out the op shops, so I'll have to make sure I get there again soon.
