I posted a while ago about our recent family holiday, involving a big dose of en-route op-shopping... and showed you what I found on the way there... now I've finally remembered to show you what we found on the way home!
Our main op-shop destinations were Leongatha and Korumburra - we stopped in both towns on the way there and back, so as not to miss out on any shops that might be open only on certain days.
We visited about 5 op-shops in total, plus a book fair selling cancelled library books - there was at least one other shop I didn't set foot in, amazingly (I was already testing the patience of my fellow travellers...) - and had a great time enjoying generous pricing, friendly people and lovely finds...
though I wish I'd had more time to really have a rummage... next time I might make my family stay in an op-shop town, instead of a beach side village!!
Check Her Library Adventures for more finds!
PS: I'm trying a bit of Spring-inspired decluttering with a weekly "reverse finds" post on Saturdays - would you like to join me?

i recently checked out a few op-shops en route to & from Sydney, isn't it fun?
My husbands family mostly live in Leongatha and I love scrounging around the local oppies there. Some great frinds, I would loved to have been to that book sale :)
wonthaggi has some really good op-shops too! the rose lodge op-shop and the paws galore ones are my faves :D
yes, that might be the proper idea, the op shop village instead of beach, for your own tranquility... ;)))
Fabulous finds, well done, sometimes it's the best part of a trip ;) Have a wonderful week. xo
My sister is getting married in the in the country this year and I've already compiled a list of the Oppys in the area we're going to hit up. My husband searches the clothes and I seem to zip around everywhere else.
I'm with you on the pricing in small town op shops!
You've got a good eye! I love the fabrics you find.
Great finds, yes reverse finds sounds good except I just seem to hoard everything!
Love your concept of reverse finds! I hope to do some spring cleaning over the upcoming school holidays.
