My life literally depended on attending this sale. I say this because in the interests of living a long life, it's imperative that one maintains a hobby/passion, all my reading on longevity says so.
I can't remember how much I paid for any individual piece, but my pick is this pink frock. I think it was $10? Still, Teddy's so disappointed in me he can't look at me, or my frock.
I also had to bring this little mid-century glass dessert set home. We actually use things like this all the time. The bowls are usually just the right size for a portion that's not too big and not too small, and it was only $22. Someone in the store commented that it would be $45 at the Salvos, and they're right.
I found this nifty skirt, which has 'Cycle in Progress' appliqued around the bottom. My friend and I assumed that referred to bicyling, and I pictured myself quaintly riding through Woolcock Park on a pennyfarthing.
'Oh', I said. 'So, Cycle in Progress means....'.
'Yes'. She said cheerily, as though this was a bonus.
Oh dear... As a cyclist who would love more skirts better designed for cycling I was quite excited. Now, not so much.
ReplyDeleteMuch "heart'" desert glass set. Would also look pretty as tea light holders scattered around the deck, or little floating flower vases.
I was at the Red Hill Salvos recently, and overheard a fellow say to one of the workers, "You know, everything here is overpriced. Is it THAT HARD to change the price gun from $22?" To which he got the response, "Yes. Yes, it is hard to change the price gun." It was then that I decided I'd never go back.
ReplyDeleteHappy cycling!
I think I'll follow your lead MMMC. I've dropped off a dress there before that I'd paid $3 for at another thrifty, and saw it a couple of weeks later with a $15 price tag.
