Well it was a nice drive.

Coz thats all it was as the HUGE oppy is closed,so I was told at the very small with no vintage clothing and only oppy in town  shop.Sorry to dissapoint you all.
Sad yes but least I now know so can get it out of my head.I did get some books tho.A dress for summer (non vintage but the Captain liked it)a couple of scarves and a floral vintage sheet.I did ask the lady if they had a retro rack.She said no they had no room.What I  thought.... Get rid of alot of this crap on your rails and you will have room.What I said.....oh what a shame other shops do.
Here are the books

 Sunny days is an oldie as is Pow Wow stories and Susies New Stove (Little golden book)BTW I just ordered a new (yes shocking aye) book about valueing and identifying good  LGBs to buy  I will let you know when it arrives.
 Please Sit Still is the 1st book  I spotted there and my fave
 Look at the great 70s illustrations.
Got all the books for $2 pretty cool that,Worth the drive I say.The captain most like didnt think so lol.



But he must have been in a good mood coz I got  himn to take me to Vinnies  at Bargara which is  the next /town over from ours (10 minutes max) and got some more flaming marbles!!! But guys  they are old and a huge bag of them and only $4 I couldnt leave them now could I?.I just cant resist old marbles  now I am onto filling my 4th large jar of marbles(have to find the jar now).
You think I've lost my marbles dont ya? Well the answer to that is NO! mine are all in bottles so i'll always be able to find them.

SEEEE....
now if you ever lose your marbles you can always borrow some of mine

  Another I look pregnant in this picture shot lol its all the winter food (and lack of excercise) I tell ya
I also got some more knitting needles (like I need more of those like a hole in the head but these are vintagey)Any excuse right?(now before anyone says anything I know this is a tad blurry but I think I may have dropped my camera one too many times.)See all that behind me?I'll tell you about it soon.

What I wore today red vintage coat (from the fancy dress stuff I bought) Dress modern opshopped,shoes and jewellery all opped.Do you like  my red and green mix?

 Should it be seen together?I think so.Now I am on the hunt for a red vintage bag and red bangles too
                                   (just showing off those Django and Julliette Shoes again.)

While I am talking about green and if you love to knit.I can send you this free pattern I googled the other day you can also find it HERE and at Ravelry too.Its a lovely one to knit  and easy once you understand  the way the pattern works so you know what row your up to. I did an error (or 2) but seeing as the Amish do that on purpose in their creating I dub it "The Amish Scarf".I would have unpicked it but Id gone a fair way (and I didnt even notice it till then)I am usually pedantic about errors and will redo. All knitters would pick the error I will see if the person  who is recieving it will notice where the error is.Its made with love error or not.

Ps kids music day in town that means I must stop at one oppy on the way in. You know I have to may be bad luck if I dont.Bad luck that id miss something awesome.Ha ha
