I guess that it is inevitable that as times move on so does the way that we do things. If you want something second hand these days you can look on trade me and find what you want but looking on trade me isn't the same as browsing in a junk shop and ending up with something that you didn't even know you needed!!!
The clothing alteration shop on the left was until recently a second hand shop and now this one above in the Queens gardens is closing down. Luckily my favorite one - Weirs is still going strong. I'm not opposed to buying new things but it seems unnecessary to me to have everything new when there is plenty of good previously owned things to be had.
Yesterday I was my fathers daughter. I took a load of garden rubbish to the tip and came back with this lot.
6 little china cups that I really don't need but think are very cute, a pot lid to replace one that has broken , some picture books to cut up for card making and these totally amazing cocktail forks. they will be so handy. I am going to cook a special dinner which requires us to eat only with these little forks. I'm excited about that already.
This weekend we are off to Wellington to move Rosie out of her flat. The last parcel has gone and in 2 weeks she will be here for a month before she heads off for her next adventure.
Here's to a week of changing times.
