Market Sunday’s: Noarlunga/Christies Beach Op Shop Haul

For those of you new to Market Sundays, it’s an ongoing series where I take lots of pics of the markets or shops I hit and give you a bit of commentary so you can see the places I like to shop and hang around in.

You know I love a good rummage in a thrift store! So when Mummy Asks friend M offered to take us around her local op shops & share her fave hunting ground – I was in! It was a good day before we even left M’s house, where M gave me this amazing, pearl beaded, vintage shawl/collar. How lucky am I? We headed off to the first three and stopped for a coffee break at M’s before the next three. The three of has had a lovely time picking over all manner of trash and picking up some treasures. If you find yourself in the suburbs south of Adelaide, you might want to hit these op shops!

This medium sized op shop was quite the treasure trove! I picked up a $2 Vintage tin, just perfect for buttons. These modern but thoroughly vintage looking  $5 black mules for $5.25 and this $8.25 cropped fluffy jumper that screams ‘sweater girl’. Mummy Ask spend $9.25 on these gorgeous, yet practical & brand new patent shoes.

Just round the corner from the salvos, is Savers a massive thrift super store. I’ve had some great fabric finds here but today there was nothing. It’s worth noting that they had a massive selection of new and second hand Halloween costumes for both adults and children. Lots of well priced props, makeup and fake blood too. But sadly there was nothing there for me or Mummy Ask.

Reef is a smallish shop with new & second hand items but it was jam packed with interesting bits. I picked up a massive bargain, paying $10 for 103cm wide x 4.54m Taffeta that may or may not be silk but I think it is! I also grabbed this $4 tray for an upcoming project but will pass it on to M once I’m done because she had her eye on it too!

P.S: This is one of M’s cats, Rusty, isn’t he majestic? He is massive! If you are familiar with my cat, Mr Pyjamas (Jarms), Rusty is much bigger than that! M’s other cat, Boots, is also a big one but was being a little camera shy.
