I promised to post about my op shop finds from the weekend - this little stash came from the two op shops in Queenscliff, I always find good treasure in seaside towns for some reason!
A cute tea crate and a vintage fabric bag.
Serving platters from the Vue Grand, a famous old hotel in Queenscliff.
One of those old photo-puppet books, I have a collection of these.
A giant Willow biscuit tin in fetching red gingham!
A 1970s patchwork book.
On the way back through Geelong we stopped at the Mill where I bought these lovelies.
A pristine 1974 calendar tea towel
A pretty tin tray - I think this is my favourite thing that I found.
And a king size vintage patchwork quilt. It needs a few repairs but as it cost barely anything I think I can manage that! I've since laundered it and it has come up beautifully, I love it.

\thanks
That quilt is a fantastic find! Am super green with envy :)
great finds! :D
Some wonderful treasures!
I was only saying to my colleague the other day we always find good things in seaside towns - I think it's because of all the retirees who end up there...and all the fabulous bits that come with their houses! Lovely post...
Gosh - that quilt is stunning! All great finds. I found a Willow cake tin today! Suburbside, not seaside though. Such fun.
Fabulous finds! Oh the quilt is wonderful!xx
Love the tray, quilt and book. You always find the treasures. I voted for Daisy Lane. (Don't tell anyone that could spoil any street cred I have big time.) I think Daisy Lane deserves to win! xx
OOohhh, I was standing behind you in the queue at Mill Markets- I didn't even notice! I did notice your calendar tea towel, and the lady pointing out a little damage on the patchwork quilt! (I was distracted by the quilt, I think!)
Isn't it great there? :D
Such wonderful finds :)
