2 friends, 4 days, 38 op shops

Day One













Day Two






Day Three







Day Four














We found such excellent bargains, didn't we, Amanda? Beanie kids, Lego, books, clothes...I'll never forget "the close talker" or how we nearly missed Wicked or your excellent navigation skills or the man who urinated on the floor in front of us or our wonderful conversations in between shops. I can think of nothing else I would rather have done with my time and no other person I would rather have done it with...Thank you, Amanda!

  2. Oh I am so jealous. As an avid Op shopper, could you please tell me where these all are (if you remember) Sounds awesome!

  3. What a wonderful time we had - all those different Op-shops and bargains! (Hopefully you managed to fit everything in for the way home - my suitcases were absolutely bulging and quite a few kilos over weight!)

    My favourite part though, was getting to hang out with you for four whole days, regardless of what we were doing. Thanks to Geoff and Craig for making it happen- we have the best husbands!

    One of my new projects will be to find (and mark in the street directory) all the op-shops I can find in the Maitland/Newcastle area for when you next visit me! Who knows, maybe by then you will be living in the SAME country as us! I can always dream ...
