Yes, they're nice Icy. I've been tempted to go looking, plenty of op shops here! They are getting so expensive here, the result, I think, of TV shows like Bargain Hunt, Antiques Roadshow etc.. Everyone thinks they're an expert when they do the pricing!
I always check out the art, paintings etc. Love Australiania even though I'm not what you'd call "a collector". I did once get my daughter a Charlie Brown dress for $6, years old but they never go out of style.
No more, you say!

I had to wait for ages at the checkout counter, the lady in front of me bought over 100's worth of stuff, mens shirts, a necklace, retro plates and dishes, some paintings etc.
When she was finished I commented on what a good day's bargain shopping she'd had, she said that was all her Christmas shopping done.

I found a new book, too, "The Story of Edgar Sawtelle" by David Wroblewski. It's an Oprah's Book Club Selection. A pair of shoes for work as well.

A girl after my own heart,Icy, oppy shopping, even if ya do like Warnie.
I LOVE those cats, green with envy. . I'm going to start looking for cats in my loca lop shops but most of them are pretty smart and
price all china as though they're collectable.
But no harm in trying I guess.
And me who hates dusting am I actually talking about more nic nacs?

Jenni, you must be one very busy lady!
Lovely prizes, congratulations. Sapphire is a great name for a blue devon, and she's a winner too!
Plus, you won the raffle!
How is Squirt?

Does Icy like Warnie? lol. How did you find that out Bright?
I'm not as enamoured of him as some models we've heard of, but he's OK.
Off topic, I know, but wasn't the cricket great!!

Yes Icy likes Warnie, she confessed over on CS, lol. I said I preferred him before
he had all the work done, but I actually think he's probably a nice guy.
I really wish I could share your enthusiasm for cricket but I can't Bano. . Maybe if I knew how to score I might like it
better, haha.
Jenni congrats, and to Sapphire too. Well done.
