Mitchell Tin

I picked up a great pressed metal cake tin at Tinys Green Shed in Mitchell today. Complete with paper towel and cake crumbs inside, it is now going to house my sewing thread.

Free clothing at Tinys Green shed

Taph and i are fans of "Tinys Green Shed" on Facebook. However a couple of weeks ago we were gobsmacked by the post on his site.
Free clothes, Taph was thrilled by this prospect, and i was mildly excited, so we set off to see what we could find.

When we found the magic mountain of clothes, the lucky dip that was just piled up on the floor, we decided the best thing to do was just start digging and see what turned up.
Taph was looking for:

• Woolen jumpers that she could unravel,
• Nice feeling shirts that could be converted into hankies,
• Stuff that had nice buttons, and
• Clothing that fitted either of us.

While we were there we met a nice lady who was after babies clothes for Karinya House. So all afternoon when ever we found something that was baby wear, the call went up, "Baby" and the items of clothing were thrown over to where she was.
After a few hours of searching, we left with several bags of clothing that fitted our search requirements.

On the wearable clothing front I picked up a couple of nice shirts, a pair of shorts and a nice black jacket.

All for Nix,

If you look long enough ...

They say that if you look for long enough you will find anything at an op shop. On a wet Sunday Taph and I took a trip through the tip shops of Canberra.

We could not believe it when we saw this at Tinys green shed.

Looks like a coffee table, right.

That is want we thought, until we wondered why it would have three pairs of handles and screws on top.

Yep, it’s a coffin. We will add this to our list of things not to buy second hand.
