Op shop goodies

I went for an op shop day last week with my mum and we came back with quite a haul. All this (aside from the deck chairs which my mum bought for $8 each) cost $30 which I thought was pretty good seeing as the lord of the rings books set me back $15. They were a bit pricey but they are from the 1970s and in perfect condition -also I'm a massive fan ;-)

The wooden board is apparently a cheese platter, which I have absolutely no use for but I love kitsch Australiana and it was cheap. The wire thing is a record holder, which I'm awfully happy with.

A cute saucepan, little orange dish and some pyrex. The mint one isn't actually pyrex but I really liked how it looked with the orange one.

The hideous golden thing is a thermometer made in Japan. I have a few of them now, they are so tacky! I actually found this one at the same dump recycling place I found my last one almost a year ago which I thought was a bit of a crazy coincidence. The rose wall hanging was made in West Germany and I love it!

And it wouldn't be a good op shop haul if I didn't pick up some christmas goodies.


I am in love with these deck chairs. They are so darn comfy!

I'm linking up with Sir Thrift A Lot and A Living Space :-)

      The cat thermometer is actually my favourite find of the day haha. And the mountain art is a photo someone took in the 70s near Everest - it has a little typewritten note on the back :-)

    The deck chairs are amazing! I've been looking for ones like those - we used to have them & they are frickin' comfortable! Too hell with those hard plastic ones.

    Love all the little Christmas & the tacky thermometer sure is..
