A trip to the op shop


Yesterday I had nearly two hours of child free time and I choose to spend it wading through a $2 clothing warehouse. It was glorious. I adore looking through racks of clothing. I feel it is like thousands of snatches of time and I am privvy to it all. I have particular passion for homemade clothing and find it really difficult to leave one on the rack. The time and effort someone puts into an item of clothing be it out of neccesity or creative prowess I find it all rather special. My favourite item from yesterday is a slightly below the knee A-line skirt in the fabric as shown. Homemade of course with a lovely old button. I also got this green gingham dress!! I kid you not this is very Dorothy/Bretheren, homemade and I am not sure if I would wear it out side of home but I love it all the same.

Next stop aprons!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
