I can't wait to let much wickedness ensue with the decorating and planting. Let the games begin!<BR/>Yes, Op-shops are the same as charity shops and we have the same problem over here as you do in the UK - namely people overpricing things now they know that people like to shop in them! I remember when Oxfam was actually value for money, now they are a bona fide retailer! Ah, how I miss blighty sometimes. Still, when in Rome and all that buggary bollocks!<BR/>Hopefully she'll be somewhat cooler than Kylie - more of a Missy Higgins or a PJ Harvey. I do like em a little more unique.The Awakened Hearthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18283471463348525046noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6441623775027962723.post-55163581417286381612008-10-06T00:28:00.000+11:002008-10-06T00:28:00.000+11:00Hurrah! So happy you got your own house at last!!!...Hurrah! So happy you got your own house at last!!! ...and with garden, which is even better.<BR/><BR/>Are 'op-shops' like charity shops? We have charity shops here, but they are wise to what they sell now, so their prices are higher than they were.<BR/><BR/>So now you are...The Bargain-Hunter! I dread to think of the mayhem two la feys will cause among the op-shops of your neighbourhood. I picture sales staff having their hair go white with shock!! <BR/><BR/>I remember Simplicity patterns! My mum used to get those when I was a kid! You'll have to just try them out. Get in touch with Jodie at Ric-Rac, she's a crafter and might give you tips if you're good. There are some great, friendly sewing/fabric crafter blogs out there who can give you tips. <BR/><BR/>If docwitch is going for the stripey tighties, will you wear the pointy hat?<BR/><BR/>BTW, the Beanie looks very cute on the guitar! She might end up being the next Kylie, but playing guitar as well as singing!Griffinhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03863034333159354009noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6441623775027962723.post-64491006516623852302008-10-05T22:41:00.000+11:002008-10-05T22:41:00.000+11:00Yay! new housie!

I look forward to visiting you and yours in your new abode...whoohoo!<BR/><BR/>That's a luscious load o' loot you've gathered there! The books are gorgeous! And the bedside tables are a score. It all bodes well for our adventure this week, I'm sure. I am soo, sooo looking forward to our foray into the world of oppy-shoppies. <BR/><BR/>I think the occasion may call for...stripey tights, (my version of witchy-poo occasion dressing dharrrr-ling).Antoinettehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10279365115311331326noreply@blogger.com
