The Op Shop Wishlist …

October 27, 2008 14 Comments by Kirsty

My luck at the Op Shop (Thrift Shop) has been amazing. In a couple of minutes you’re about to see just how amazing.

So much good stuff…I can’t keep it all to myself & ever present in my mind is the move this time next year.

I’d like to share my good fortune.

If you’d like to leave your dearest Op Shop Wish here in the comments you just never know your luck.

Just in case you’re worried about declaring your love of say “salt & pepper shakers – made in Japan” go & read this.

    My dearest op show wish list is to find a F & P 'happy apple', I have mine from my childhood, but it met with a heater at some stage & came out worse for wear. I will find one ONE day, when you found yours a while back it gave me hope that they are out there, keep your eyes peeled koo!

    What I’ve been after for a while now is one of those old wire cages that you put a bar of soap in and swish around in the sink for bubbles. My nanna used to have one :D

    I would love to find an old floral china butter dish… It just needs to be large enough to fit the normal size stick of butter.

    I’m with you sister bliss, seek and ye shall find. In fact, I’ve got a little something for you that’s got your name written all over it.

    I have two op shop wishes. One is vintage pyrex refridgerator dishes with the clear glas lids intact. I often dream about these but am yet to find one.
    My other wish is vintage tablecloths, especially ones with big fat floral prints and polka dots. I used to come across these quite often but in the last few years the op shop pickings have been mighty slim. They all seem to end up on ebay at ridiculously high prices.

    Dear Op Shop Fairy
    I’d like some embroidered hankies or pillowcases and a fully adjustable dressmaking mannequin and a big stash of pretty buttons that don’t need to be washed before use.
    Thank you.
