On Thursday last week Karah went back up to Bredbo with our eldest son, Adam, and grandson Lachlan. They had come down to pick up some hay orders for Canberra and to get their horse crate for the back of the crate. While they were here they also loaded up 2 of Adam's remaining 3 horses (the 3rd got to stay behind because after 2 hours of trying to get it loaded it was still looking at the truck from the outside at ground level!!) They were going home to load up their living gear and competition horses and heading back to Coolamon (about one and a half hours from here) to compete in a weekend of horse events. So we had to go over to Coolamon on Sunday to bring Karah home and to see Lachlan and Abbey compete. WELL.... we spotted a 2nd hand / junk shop at Ganmain (where Greg's family hails from) on the way over so of course we had to stop in on the way back.
The front window - just a sample of what is inside.
You need hours to dig through everything.
From the floor to the ceiling. The only way I could find Karah and she could find me was by calling out to each other.
It was sideways down every walkway and sometimes climbing over things.
lots of doubling back and finding another track to get to where you want to go!
probably more of a junk shop but I could fill in half a day or more in here!! Soooo..... here are photos of what I purchased - what I am going to do with them I have no idea but I will think of something!!
This I think might make a project case with a few additions - thread pockets, needle pocket, scissors etc - a bit more thinking to be done on this one.
And this one - I will probably clean up and keep for my own use also - just as it is a writing compendium!! Might have to do a little personalising to it though!!

Good to see you made it out of the shop without all being lost.

ReplyDelete"LOVE" the tapestry covered bag!... would love to look thru that shop..looks so clean & sort of organised. There is a place a bit like that in Morpeth, however it is filthy and getting worse each time I went, so much so, I have stopped going.
