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.

Vinnies Monster Warehouse Sale Day #2

After my super duper amazingly successful day #1 at the sale, I decided to return for another bite of the cherry on day #2. Unfortunately, I think by day #2 everything had already been picked over and so I didn't find very much. I'd strongly recommend going on the first day if you can, if they hold it again that is.

Here is a photo of the outside area of the sale- it was snapped on my phone, through a fence (hence the weird angle) on my way to the car as an afterthought, so I apologise that it doesn't give all that much insight into the venue or quantity of stock.

Despite the goods now being largely uninspiring, of course I managed not to go home empty handed.

 Another vintage sheet, $1 + A leather Faigen bag $3.

This jacket is so bright and ugly that I couldn't pass it up. I don't think I'd ever wear it but I seem to have an obsession with the gaudy and unusual... and for $3, it's okay- right?

As usual, linkies with Sophie's Flea Market Finds :) I really need to get around to putting a button on the side of my blog, I will eventually!

Vinnies Monster Warehouse Sale Day #1

I am a highly impressionable person. When I first started blogging, I didn't like or collect pyrex or vintage sheets. Now, I love and collect both. I used to be more a fan of dainty vintage floral plates and teacups. Now, I prefer retrrroooo. Last time I went to the Vinnies Monster Warehouse Sale, I picked up a skirt and a top, and a few books. I was happy. This time, I filled up garbage bags worth. I could have bought a lot more...

 

 Vintage sheets galore! 7 single sheets to be exact, at $1 a piece! This was definitely the score of the day, I love them :)

Now, I can't tell you the prices of individual items because I don't know... it was chaotic at the cash register- there was a lady ringing up the sale and another packing my stuff, and I'm not sure what I was charged for each item individually. What I do know is that this whole haul cost a total of $61. WHAT A BARGAIN :-D
