We have just been travelling and popping into op shops on the search to find a mug that matches Mick's favourite that has a chip. No luck there, but quite a few things came home with me. Most will be used fairly soon. I found two 70s purple floral sheets for $2.50 each, which I will use for scrappy quilt backings.Janicehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02288331185772160975noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5738183327129723042.post-2727394673194457502021-03-19T07:17:08.894+10:002021-03-19T07:17:08.894+10:00I'm going to cut a pattern from an old shift I...I'm going to cut a pattern from an old shift I have worn for years.

About those lovely chickens of yours. So we have ferns in our hen yard and my husband made cages to put over them. If you made lightweight mesh cages that you could lift on and off to access your herbs that might help. The trick is getting something tight enough that they can't get those beaks in to help! It is a dilemma. We are down to one and she seems way more content by herself than we ever thought she would be. She is over 10 years old now. Have a lovely day.

Only so many people allowed in at one time depending on the size of the shop. And time/appointment should be booked four hours in advance. Not a lot of impulse buying going on right now !<br />Love all your new treasures today ! Fun Elefantz bag :) Very cool blue gigham ! <br />hugs, take care and enjoy the week !<br />Joanne Joannehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14367841239911239597noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5738183327129723042.post-85256043906488407822021-03-17T17:41:23.445+10:002021-03-17T17:41:23.445+10:00I have just read through your two latest posts Jen...I have just read through your two latest posts Jenny - lots to take in there, thank you. Great op shop purchases and Iknow just what you mean bout visiting them too often. Normally here we are off to car boot sales in the summer and end up buying nice things that we dont really need. So much as we missed our morning wanderings last year it has meant a little less stuff around! xxLinhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15406333686298786963noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5738183327129723042.post-42380402151374928512021-03-17T17:15:32.623+10:002021-03-17T17:15:32.623+10:00You will need to cover the beds to keep the hens o...You will need to cover the beds to keep the hens out. If there is enough depth, you can make a cover with a simple wooden frame and chicken wire, otherwise you can use metal hoops and netting/fleece. If you want a diy hoop system you can use old watering hose pipe lengths, cut to size and inserted into wooden doweling rods that stick down into the soil to make the arches. My mother did this in England and it worked well. I’m not sure if your tropical heat would make the hose pipe too soft / floppy, but it’s worth a try if you have an old one or can thrift one! I am in total agreement about the temptation of thrift shops by the way! All too easy to pick up things you really don’t need.Gillhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03206755114439637888noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5738183327129723042.post-53331868688410151852021-03-17T17:00:53.153+10:002021-03-17T17:00:53.153+10:00I love Op Shopping, but it has been a while since ...I love Op Shopping, but it has been a while since I have been. I generally head for the craft section, books and enjoy looking through the crockery. Next time I go I'll be on the lookout for some books to turn into book art. I got hooked on that last year during our lockdowns and created some display pieces for work (I work in a school library). It can be very easy to buy things because they are there and are pretty.Bethhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08319783522813289404noreply@blogger.com
