A few days back I visited our local Junk Shop at the dump. I'm not sure how long it's been there, but I've only recently heard of it. I was wanting to gather together some bits and pieces to deck out the shed with. I found this wee shelf unit (I plan to paint this with one of our leftover "greens" from our interior colours), a few pots/storage containers, a little native plant picture, a plaster hanging, and a fold down table that just had to come home with me (now set up in the kids end of the lounge with a table cloth on it).
The glass jars I got so I can make some lanterns with the kids some time.
All up I paid $9.
It can be dangerous business visiting 2nd hand shops though - it's a fine line between getting things for cheap (and often quirky that I couldn't just "buy" in a shop) and to suddenly start cluttering up the house with stuff that's not really wanted/needed even if things only cost a few cents or dollars. Argh!
I wonder if my chickens will become shed-climbers instead of tree-climbers?
