all this...three dollars
are tip shops the new op-shops?
And yes those little orange casseroles are Le Creuset
the scales are Krups
the (lovely) plate, Biltons Ironstone
the book: News Chronicle Song Book..."Sing and the world will sing with you" says T. P. Ratcliff
the little red industrial shelf...old and rusty on one side, bright and shiny on the other
and the little white "dolls house"? well that's just cute
see
We also bought an old bowling ball, blue and sparkly in it's own sling-like carry bag...it's still in the boot of the car so no pic.
I want to do this with it
just like Flo
I am definetely becoming more tip than op...no prizes for guessing why!
Here's a tea towel to start the week with
I hope it's a good one x
Linking to Sophie's as always...
Cute finds! So cheap!!
ReplyDeleteI didn't know Perth had tip shops!
E :)
I like your tip shop very much.We have one not far away but its only opene a few days and the other is wayyyyy over the other side of the city I went there once and it was sad but you are making me want to go again very soon xx
ReplyDeleteGreat finds! Our tip shop is sooo much better than the op shops..and better stuff too!
ReplyDeleteMy goodness, i need to visit your tip shop if im ever over there. The one here is pretty rubbish for smaller things. I love than bowling ball idea - how amazing! Looking forward to seeing your take on it. And hello le creuset - who thought of throwing those away!!! Madness.
ReplyDeleteScarlett x
Look at that load....fantastic!! Where, may I ask, do you find tip shops? At the regualr tip?
ReplyDeletex
Lovely buys, the sling with the bowling ball will actually be to polish the ball with
ReplyDeletex
I love your tea towel.
ReplyDeleteAmazing scores at the tip shop!! Absolutely brilliant. Can't wait to see what you do with the dolls' house!
Woo! GREAT FINDS and even better prices.
ReplyDeleteI love the orange casserole dishes & the Biltons Ironstone.
Adore the white house and what a fabulous tea towel.
Great idea - wish our tip did selling. Maybe they do? I need to go and find out!!! Brilliant finds - the orange le creuset, the plate, everything... And of course the bowling ball has to be a vase. Makes perfect sense :)
ReplyDeleteAre we seeing a dutch theme re tt's, after the italian ones??? x
such great finds !! well done. I saw a bowling ball with a rose in it once, to get it to sit on the shelf the girl had it on an old rope quoit... your next challenge!
ReplyDeletelove the tea towel, and as you asked...NO, I will not be taking in knitting orders! LOL. all those old patterns are way too complicated, and with 3ply wool on size 11 skinny needles too.
I bought my dress form of ebay. I was really lucky I found a vintage one but in brand new condition for £69.95 GBP .
ReplyDeleteI only knew about the sling because it was on a TV show called Gavin and Stacey
x
Oh. My. Lordy. Le creuset? Love it all.
ReplyDeleteI am on the hunt for scales like that too! I cant get over your finds! Well done. Sorry i havent replied to your comment, i am sans internet atm. On my phone when i can but it isnt very good for browsing! I am going to guildford on friday :)
ReplyDeleteLove the little dolls house shelf and tea towel, I can't believe it only cost you $3. The orange casserole dishes are the best find by far.
ReplyDeleteWhat a fantastic haul - well done you. I love the masculine design on the ironstone plate, this type of pattern does more for me than florals. I want a tip shop like yoursds!
ReplyDeleteOh, oh love the plate! Wish we had tip shops here in the states!
ReplyDeleteHope you are well!
Ok, I am relatively new to this, but what are tip store or op stores? I have not heard of them in my part of the country.
ReplyDeletelucky you then, to have tips. i'm hoping, and wishing, and ...
ReplyDeleten♥
I really do adore the look of the white dolls house, it would make for a great display piece. I haven't found much tat lately, though I hope to do so before the summers out here xxx
ReplyDeletep.s I've missed your tea towels
Well you did rather brilliantly once again - I've hardly bought a thing recently. That little house display case is very sweet, and I remember absolutely loving Flo's bowling ball vase post - lucky you to have your own!
ReplyDeleteI think tip shops could DEFINITELY be the new op shops!!
ReplyDeleteBrilliant finds again, are you sure you don't have a radar?!
Jem xXx
Oh wow, what finds! Just popped over to visit your blog after spotting your post on another's blogroll as that display house caught my eye - I'm hunting for something exactly like that too for my little girl's room. I saw one last week in Balingup but it was $40 and nowhere near as nice as yours. Noticed that you were in Perth, where do you find tip shops here?
ReplyDeleteKylie,you found some bargains,aren't some people wasteful?
ReplyDeleteLove your bargains, Wish my tip shop was nearly as good as yours, . You have an eye xx Ava
ReplyDeleteWow, what finds!
ReplyDeleteLove all of them but the shelves are someting i have been on the look out for lately. I love our local tip shop too, it is always worth a fossick, although not as cheap as it was. Our local oppies are starting to go the way of your mainland ones sadly. I love your style and look forward to seeing them in your home :)
Great finds and cannot believe the price! I am so going to check out our local tip shop as soon as I can. Looking forward to your dolls house plans. melx
ReplyDeletei love your thrifty finds! haven't hit a tip shop here just yet, but rummage is on sunday and i'm sure to grab a few bargains! (aswell as selling a lot i hope!) ps. you're a winner on my blog! yay!
ReplyDeleteOh FURSHURE....Tip Shops ROCK & as they tend to be 'Dealer Free' i.e. NO Dealers working out the back grabbing all the good stuff as it comes in....You tend to find some NEAT stuff....!
ReplyDeleteI'm ENVIOUS of your Le Crueset pieces....I would have WRESTLED you for those.... :o) !! I've found a FEW LC frypans in the HR over the last year & I tend to think people get rid of it because it's SO heavy....Their loss though 'cause I've got wrists like Arnie....hahahahahaSNORT....!!!!!
See ya Lovey....!!
Cheers,
Tamarah :o)
Thanks for coming to my blog to educate me on tip shops and op shops. Now I know. Much appreciated. I think I will have to do a post about it. Love that I am learning new things and can chat with someone around the world in Austrailia.
ReplyDeleteKaren G
What lovely finds! And that bowling ball idea is so cute!! You could do wonders with that white display house with regards to display... the possibilities are endless. Oh no, now I want one! xx
ReplyDeletethese are gorgeous! i have never been to a tip shop before and now i think that i will have to immediately seek one out... :)
ReplyDeleteKel x
p.s - i have a few goodies for you! will pop them in with your FQs :)
wow you got some great things at the tip shop!!! I want to go!!!!!!!
ReplyDeleteNotes She Wrote
Kylie!! You're in luck!! I am putting it in my shop; I should have said that in my post. It fits a small to large medium (the waist is elastic) Unfortunately, I wasn't able to bring it this time but if you like, I can send it to you directly from Singapore instead the next time I'm home?

Aargh, I keep starting to write comments and my computer is regularly crashing. I imagine myself as a nun, and I say to myself serenely "It is Gods will my daughter" whist smiling enigmatically. But no, in reality, I am stressed to the max and have just gulped down my last drop of vino. Should I put a beer in the freezer?
ReplyDeleteBroadurst wins and freezer it is! BTW my husbands name is Tony!
Beautiful finds!!
ReplyDeleteHey, what's a tip shop?? I feel like I'm missing something the whole world is knowing but me....
Wow - wish we still had tip shops in the UK - that little house shelf is fab!
ReplyDeleteHi Kylie, this is a really great post. You've found some amazing things!
ReplyDeleteI'm in the process of setting up a tip shop in Perth that is intended to be a bit less chaotic than most, and would love any suggestions you might have on the sorts of things you'd like to see. Would you be interested in getting in touch?
Hopefully this comment isn't taken as an attempt to sell what I'm doing. That isn't my intent (and would be a bit pointless given I don't have anything going yet).
