opshop/rummage haul

I pinky promised you in the last post that I would post pictures of my opshop and suitcase rummage scores from the past week. An dI managed to keep that promise. 

Here we go...

On Sunday I bought this adorable necklace from Holly of Pannikin. It was only $1 and I actually don't really own that much jewellery. So I bought this along with a little plastic dinosaur necklace.

I couldn't leave this one. I wouldn't have cared how much it is,  I needed this top. I wore a purple and pink version just like it when I was five to my mum's wedding. I was so lovely, but I think it got lost during the Queensland floods at the start of this year. So I had to have it. I wore a tiny pink and purple one with matching pants. My Mum didn't even wear a dress to her wedding. She just wore a black shirt with bright patchwork flare pants (which I'm extremely envious of, those pants are like heaven) and clunky mary jane shoes. 

Mum and Steve- Wedding 2003

Myself at the wedding, 2003. I'd literally just turned five. Mum and Steve actually got married on my fifth birthday. :)

These jeans were from an op shop I've only just discovered. It's only a 10-15 minute bike ride from my dad's house and nearly everything is $2. Which is pretty nifty. And they have an amazing collection of 'Mom Jeans'. I just want them all.  But I am a tiny person and I barely fit anything normal people sized. So that kinda sucks.

Yay! High waisted tartan pants! These were from a lovely lady at suitcase rummage. Her entire stall was just hippy clothes everywhere. There was a nice vibe around there. Everything was tie dye and floaty. And everything was cheap too!

My old high-waisted shorts are far too small now, so for $2 I couldn't pass these up.

Two new tops! The one on the right is this awesome Christmas-y-ish Hawaiian shirt thing. And the other one is just a nice yellowy sweater top with short poofy sleeves. 

According to my sister, this top looks like scrambled eggs.

I don't really own many miniskirts and I really liked the print on this one. This was also from the nice hippy lady.

Seriously. Perfect fitting-floral-pastel-frilly-poofy dress. How can I not?

You may protest, but I have a secret love for velvet. I bought another purple one with lace and little 3D roses too. But it
a a really weird shape.

Ugh I love high waisted flares. Especially clown tartan ones.

To be honest I don't actually know whether this would be 60's or 70's. I'm a bit hopeless. But It's so gorgeous.

I also thrifted this lovely fabric for $2. I think I'm going to hang it over my doorway or perhaps make it into a curtain.


Hopefully I'll see you again soon!

Hello!

 A few days ago I went to suitcase rummage (again), and held a stall (again). Seeing as I have my own camera now,  I managed to take a couple of photos at the little time I wasn't minding the stall...

This was our stall. It was a little cramped seeing as we had a lot more things to sell than last time, but it went alright.

 And these are my new favourite thing. I got a perfect fitting pair of black Dr. Martens for just $10!

 I also bought this dress for $2.50 and it makes me feel like a cross between a disney princess and a pile of lace and tule.

 And I bought this lovely 'Little Old Lady Hat' -as my lovely friend Holly calls it- for only $8 from a super nice lady with Chelsea Cut and a blue fringe who is called Zen.

Hopefully I shall see you soon!

Home Sweet Home. Oh, whatever.

Honey, I'm home.

Now I've got my hands on a camera again I can show you pictures of stuff. yaysies. My camera's broken and my dad wouldn't let me use his to take photos of my scores from suitcase rummage, so I had to wait until I got back to my mum's house so I could use her camera. Anyhow, I now have photos of the things I bought... And what I wore...

So this is what I wore. I received so many compliments about my cape throughout the day..

Hat: Mombasa $30

Cape: Thrifted

Dress: Thrifted

Bag: Thrifted

This baby only cost me $4 and I love it!

Also I bought these glasses from a costume shop for $8 which I saw previously on Tavi's and Mollysoda's blogs.

Dis is ma' hat which I love so much.

Also, the other day I bought this liquid eyeliner, which is amazing, for just $7.

I bought this fringed genuine leather vest from suitcase rummage, $10.

This jumpsuit was from Tree Of Life

I bought this necklace from the local opshop for just $2 and I absolutely adore it.

I also bought this, 'thing'. I'm not really sure what you would call it to be honest. 

Anyway, hope you all had a lovely day... See you later. :)

To market, to market.

Today I went to suitcase rummage. I held my own little stall where I sold handmade cards and old clothes. It started 'officially' at midday, but most people got there and started buying and selling around 11-ish. I kept my stall set up until about 4:30 then packed up and went for a look around until 5. From 10:30-4:30 I managed to earn just over $70, which is pretty impressive seeing as I was only selling crappy cards and old clothes that I though absolutely no one would want. When I went looking around I bought an authentic leather fringed vest, a tie-dye smock-vest-thing and a Rolling Stones tee. I had some cards made by my mum and sister for sale too, but surprisingly they didn't sell as well as mine. I think it's just because as of the customers thought I was tiny and cute so they bought mine. Atleast 5 groups of asian tourists told me I was really cute and asked me for photos with them. One tourist guy even bought a card and then asked me to sign the back of it for him. It was weird.

^This one was hand drawn and hand painted by my fifteen year-old sister.

This one was also done by my sister.

Surprisingly, none of my sister's cards sold at all, even though they're great. 

As soon as I get back home, I pinky promise I will post pictures of this weekends buys from the rummage and hopefully I can find some pictures of my outfit...

Anyhow, hope to see you all soon!
