I have had some lovely op-shop finds lately...one op-shop in particular seems to be yielding some real goodies. I found this sweet little set of Irish, hand-embroidered linen, still attached to its packaging, with this beautiful wee inscription on the back...
A wonderful old book, The Modern Woman's Home Doctor, full of all sorts of information and illustrations from - I'm guessing - the 30s or 40s (given that there is information on air-raid-proofing your home... The book was a dollar. Strange, strange pricing in op-shops sometimes.
And a bag of theatre programmes from 1950s Melbourne. Most hardly touched. I suspect the owner worked for one of the theatres, because there are multiple copies of some. The price for the bag? Two dollars.

What a lovely lot of treasures!
I never tire of finding old linens-these are such a pretty colour. And those theatre programmes-they just don't make them as prettily as they used to do they. So good to find properly old things, not just modern cast offs x
@ librarygirl -
I have had a bit of a bumper crop of late! :)
@ Max -
Yes, it's this kind of stuff that I op shop for!
