My last op shopping trip was more about me picking up some trackies and tee shirts to wear when I’m painting in the studio. I’m a very messy artist!

However it’s impossible for me to go into an op shop without looking in the homewares section!

This time I found this cute tartan mohair throw.

This 70s ceramic vase.

And I also picked up a mixed bag of metal items. My op shop won’t price anything under $1.99, so little or inexpensive items they tend to bundle together in a bag and sell it as a job lot.

This collection was $2.99

As always you could barely tell what kind of metal they were made from because they were so tarnished, but an hour with some Brasso and they’re gleaming!!! I especially love the teeny copper vase. 😊
