Op Shopping Finds

Whenever I'm out and about and find a new op shop, it feels like I've won the lottery!

I love, love, love looking at all the brick-a-brack, checking out how much brand name items have been reduced and finding all sorts of quirky furniture.  Op shops are like a museum of sociology, recording what we was and what may be once again.

Students often buy their wares from op shops, which in my opinion in a catalyst for re-introducing fashions of the past into the future. This along with their subconscious recollection of fashions during their formative years and current political/economic circumstances dictate fashion.

I will start putting up posts of my finds.

There are some items that, although I love their concept or love the way they look, I have not bought simply because they will never be used. It is their novelty which attracts me.  I am excited to have somewhere to chronicle these finds.

I doubt that anyone reads this but, if you do and would like me to hunt an object or piece of vintage clothing down for you, let me know so I can track it down on my next expedition.

Happy Reading,

JAFS
