For anyone that knows me personally I LOVE op-shopping, love it , love it , love it. I get so excited if I find wonderful little things tucked away amongst all the surrounding stuff. I always wonder why has no one else seen this and taken it home. I like to think of myself as a collector of different things, others may call it hoarding but that is a whole other story that I will eventually post about.
The easiest person to shop for at an op-shop is little Sienna, she loves dolls and tea-parties, playing in her kitchen and she is also a collector of things. She is still at the stage of collecting rocks, shells and even sticks. To her these things are like gold and she is not happy if any of these things are taken away, I am talking tantrum unhappy. Evie is usually the one that will sneakily walk up grab something and run like the wind.
On Tuesday we were leaving to pick up Sebastian from school so she ran and got a bag and quickly filled it with lots of little things from around the house. Peta would often find bags full of stuff from around the house that Sienna had collected.
So I know that Sienna will love and appreciate the things I have found her for Christmas even if someone loved them before her.
Retro orange kitchenware - apron, tablecloth, milk jug and cannister set.
Great for her play kitchen.

Lovely pink sewing basket. Which I will fill with buttons for hours of amusement.
Thought I would show you my little collection minus the pink of course.
Bunch of dolls clothes.
Hope you love these Sienna.
Love Aunty Ness.
Enjoy the rest of your weekend,
Vanessa
Oh wow ! What great finds!!! That orange milk jug brings back so many memories, my mum had one just like that! Oh and Strawberry Shortake was one of my favourites growing up, how could someone throw out that gorgeous tea set ? Lucky little Sienna!!! What a great Aunty you are.

ohhhh i love, i love! there's some great op shops around where i live, always treasures to be found. although i sometimes feel a little guilty to pay such a small price for georgous sheets and toys and usually end up giving them a bit extra!
ReplyDeleteSienna is always in nick-nack heaven when she goes to Aunty Ness' house! She is especially lucky if she gets to sneak into the sewing room when Evie is sleeping - so many buttons and cute little things to play with. Her latest collection is all of the little gumnuts she filled her pockets with at the park. She tranferred them into her handbag when we got home and she's still carrying them around!
ReplyDeleteI love that Strawberry Shortcake picture! Sienna told me a few days ago that she is actually Strawberry Shortcake and Evie is Lemon Meringue (said very matter of fact with hand on hip) :-)
