Ok, so I'm driving to work and remember there was more to the story....my mind does tend to wander from time to time.....am so very easily distracted...
So, I go on Sunday morning to suss out the Swap Meet at the Wanneroo Showgrounds. (Had been considering selling there til I actually experienced the event....Jimi Hendrix was right.....no freaking way am I ever getting up in Winter to go thru that particular experience from a sellers point of view.... One lady said she was trying to set up her shop in the dark, and peeps were trawling thru her stuff in the freakin dark to find a bargin!!!!!
After finding a Playstation 1 with arounmd 40 burnt games, deducing that the PS must be microchipped, which in nerd land, is apparently a great thing, I was about to leave emptyhanded for myself, when I spied a stunning frock on a teeny lonely little rack. The lovely nonna type lady grabbed my ear for a bend and casually mentioned that the dress I was fingering was handmade by her, FOR HER WEDDING!!!!!!
It has sweetheart sleeves with cute lil buttons (That she pointed out cost her $1 each) Gorgous pleats and is a navy blue.... and I love it to bits. It has a bit of a sailor feel to it. Im in love.
And,
It was $2.
And that folks, is why I thrift shop.
