Trying very hard not to spend money at the moment, saving every cent for the ultimate flea market adventure (eeep! only 3 weeks until we fly out!), but I have been op shopping looking for clothes. Having said that, I couldn't go past the linen section at my local op shop as they price their linens very well. The little shamrock scone cover doily (Mum, what's its technical term??), 50c, the cotton pillowcase with the very pretty purple trim, $1, and the gorgeous scottie dog doily, 50c. They were a bit discoloured, but with a little help from my laundry friends, they have all come up beautifully. $2 very well spent.
For other flea market goodness, pop over to Sophie's.

That scotty dog one alone is worth a whole blog post! It is gorgeous! And I agree, the Napisan/soaking works a treat. ooh, so excited for you about your holiday! And nice header, too!
I love the Scottie dog doily. But am also partial to the shamrock doily as well. Great finds for a very great price! Have fun on your ultimate flea market adventure! That would be so much fun!
Too good a find to walk past any of those! Did you find some clothes too? Three weeks is going to go so quick. How exciting! :)
the scotty dog doily is so sweet!
i get ridiculously excited about napisan, i'm like someone on an ad showing my hubby the girls tshirts all white as white again! great finds, and wow a trip to paris, that is soo exciting!
ooh, you lucky girl. love the doilies. practice makes perfect for finding those bargains on your ultimate shopping trip. have fun x
Definitely $2 well spent and it's a pity we don't see more of these around - where's our culture gone!
LOVE the scottie dog doily! xo
I envy you your ultimate flea market adventure. Good cause to save every penny. However I also feel you made a great score with these. I spent many fun hours learning to needlework/embellish towls with images such as these. So beautiful it is hard to use them.
OMG! Only three weeks to go, hasn't that snuck up quickly! How exciting.
I love those purple and green colours .. they're gorgeous.
