I have just come home from 2 nights away with two of my friends. We had a lovely time in Opp shops and Antique shops in Bendigo, Castlemaine and Inglewood. I got lots of buttons so now have a lot of cleaning and carding to keep me amused at night time. We had 3 lovely old pub meals; Parma, Lamb’s fry and bacon and Roast Pork all served with a nice lot of vegies, Yum!! At the old pub in Inglewood y’day their was a small group of old ladies at a table doing craft so we went and had a chat. It was my birthday y’day, so they all sang Happy Birthday to me. Aren’t country folk so friendly. I also got lost in the toilet!!!!! so many doors, one was the cleaning room, another private, another toilet and another said pull. I kept pulling and nothing happened. Suddenly I pushed it and lo and behold it opened into the lounge. What a fun day, I bought some old fabric buttons at the tiny opp shop and a few at an Antique shop. I got lots at The Mill shed in Castlemaine so did very well. Maybe some photos later. One friend Margaret got a few pieces of Myott china for her collection so she was thrilled too. What a lovely way to spend some time.
Left is Castlemaine, right is Inglewood. Not much time for photos!!
