first pick picked!

Gorgeous fabric, fab colour... just two ways to describe this lovely piece i selvedged from being pushed to the back of the rack. This 'Forever New' top looked like it had never been worn and it didn't leave my mind until it was in my hands. One things for sure... this was not one of your typical dorky opshop tops, which probably found its way there after being in the back of a moth ball filled closet for 20 years! It was definately something a little special! Now I'd love to pass on this beauiful piece to someone who is going to show it off like it deserves! Please click on the picture and find it in my ebay store!

own it!

Classy double layered sheer fabric, a bright but warm dusty pink colour, cute but not 'cutesy' frill detail...enough said! This top will definately dress up any outfit... Imagine it layered over a pair of skinny jeans and some cute flats, or opt for some funky wedges for a H.T.T but not O.T.T outfit for a night out!

Keep watching! You never know when the one for you is going to pop up here, Lots in store this weekend...Abercrombie, Kitten, Lee + more!

and a picker is born...

So has anyone seen that show 'American Pickers'? Well i think my story goes a little like that... For those of you that arn't familiar, it is a show about two grown men who travel the country in search of, well...anything. It involves a lot of rummaging through barns to find anything that others might value. I read somewhere that picking was the male form of op-shopping, I laughed because that is so true!
I could say a recent drag along to an op-shop opened my eyes up to a lot of valuable 'stuff' that was out there to grab. It gave me a light bulb above my head moment... Why don't i become a picker? Why don't I do all the rummaging for those of you who wouldn't be caught dead in an op-shop? Why not? So there it was, a decision... I bought my first find for 20c and the cliche' little old lady at the counter told me to pay her next time when I couldnt find change! So from being a total op-shop-a-phobic, I can safely say I've converted and cannot wait to go into my next op-shop =) Starting on a small scale all the peices I discover will be listed on my online store on ebay yay! Look out for tomorrows post where I will feature my first 'pick' !
