Vinnies Monster Warehouse Sale Strikes Again!

I have posted about the Vinnies Monster Warehouse sales before, and my massive hauls from them. This time around was no different! I went on a Thursday morning (taking a half day of personal leave from work to go op shopping - yes I am obsessed!) and it wasn't overly crowded or busy like it was last time on a Friday. I would usually go on a Friday but I have back to back meetings all day at work today.

I find that they clear different things at different sales. For example, last time there were a lot more shoes and bags and I cleaned up in that area, but they didn't have any dresses. This time, there were racks and racks of dresses. They also had super cheap vintage furniture, I definitely would have snapped it up if this were Perth! There was a gorgeous kitchen cabinet for $20, an excellent quality wooden couch base that just needed cushions for $15, etc.

Anyway, without further ado, here are my finds:

 I have never walked away from one of these sales with arm fulls of vintage linen. Best of all, sheets are $1 and pillowcases 50c! I absolutely love the purple print.

 Framed embroidered chicken picture - this is so cute!

Gino Pucci black leather wedges. All shoes are $4 a pair.

 Plenty of clothes for Bub - all kids clothing is $1 a piece!

 Cue blouses, office staples - I was so excited to find these!

 RM Williams blouse and another Cue one.

 Dolina vintage dress {>


 Another vintage dress (probably handmade). I love the fabric, unfortunately I couldn't photograph the colours properly - it's a lot nicer in real life.

 Denim shirt (I plan to wear it unbuttoned) and retro floral scarf.

 Jane Doe funky long sleeved top for my Mum.

Sirocco vest - I'll wear this over the blouses that I picked up.

All of the above cost me a grand total of $39. I am certainly a happy camper :)

If you're in the Canberra area, the sale is held at 10 Buckland Street in Mitchell and it is still on on Friday March 16 and Saturday March 17.

  3. I would go, if I hadn't spent $72 at the Lifeline Book Fair today. Which I also took time off work to go to. Hey, at least we're helping out charity right?!

  4. Wow, that sale sounds awesome! I love the linen you picked up, especially the purple one with the flower print. Definitely worth half a day off!
