Living in the 80s

I've taken the liberty of posting Miss Elle's comments from one of last week's posts about her weekend haul because not everyone subscribes to the comments and I thought you'd enjoy it. 

It was so fortuitous that I logged on yesterday- I didn't know the St Ninian's sale was on and that's the sort of op shopping I love, poking around for some finds. Oh, I dream about the finds!

I found some fantastic 80's gear. I am having an 80's dinner party and picked up a marvellous wrap button at the waist, shoulder padded dress- very Ashes to Ashes.

I also observed another with an envious bounty- Lacoste skirt, tapestry bags, beautiful black suede pumps.

Hope you don't mind Miss Elle.  We'd love to se pics of your party.

Late breaking weekend opportunity

Saturday 19th
St Ninian's at Lyneham is having one of its clothing sales.

We've got many a bargain at these sales at very reasonable prices.  Picked up a Liberty blouse a while back for $1.50 and ran into a weaver buying denim clothing by the bagful.

Price list from last March is on this post to give you an idea.

A couple of occasional op-shops

While travelling around the Canberra suburbs I have noticed a few churches will be having their "coffee op-shops" or "second hand clothing op-shops" (their words, not mine).

St Ninian's on the corner Mouat and Brigalow Streets in Lyneham will be having a second hand clothing op-shop between 9am and midday on Saturday 6 March.

Also the Anglican Christ Church in Hawker, on the corner of Belconnen Way and Beetaloo street in Hawker will be having a Coffee Op-Shop on Saturday 6 March between 9am and 1pm.

Can any I-opers who go to these sales please find out for us, how often, and when, they have these sales.
