Thanks dear Giusi - hope you have a beautiful weekend. Cheers, Christine

[@willowhilldesigns7]

What a lovely haul, Christine! I enjoyed seeing Travis’s appearance and the little video at the end! TFS!

[@createandcraftwithchristine]

Thanks dear Becca - Travers always keeps us laughing. And glad I can share the beautiful surrounds here. Cheers, Christine

[@paulalister80]

Wow so much lovely ness. Aww the last piece of Irish linen such a find and those beautiful napkins too. Thank you for showing us your wonderful finds. Could tell Travis liked them too, such a good boy. Enjoy your break and thank you for sharing with us all.

[@createandcraftwithchristine]

Thanks so much Paula - I was thrilled with my finds as I didn’t have high expectations for these two particular op shops based on my last visit. Funnily enough the op shop I was really looking forward to visiting in Myrtleford didn’t yield much this time. Swings and roundabouts 💛

[@carolreid9755]

Thank you Christine for sharing your amazing funds with us. Gosh I am so glad that you were in the area to reclaim these beautiful fabrics. I can't think of anyone more fitting to appreciate them. I hope you are enjoying your break and thank you not only for the pictures of Travis but for giving me my fungi fix 😂

[@createandcraftwithchristine]

Thanks dear Carol - I’m looking forward to sharing my finds too in some upcoming happy mail gifting 🤗 And Fungi Fanciers unite 😆

[@jacquelineknox1977]

What a wonderful haul to show us this week Christine. Glad you have rescued some of the beautiful hand made and embroidered items. The river at Bright looks beautiful. Enjoy.

[@createandcraftwithchristine]

Thanks Jacqueline - I love that you call it rescuing as it really does feel like that to me. Rehoming beautiful goodies that need to be loved and given new life 💛

[@baliroses]

What beauties you have found. I can’t find good stores so I shop online. Love your vintage pieces❤

[@createandcraftwithchristine]

Thanks so much - I feel very grateful for my finds 🤗

[@anitajansen5610]

Beautiful 👍🧡💐

[@createandcraftwithchristine]

Thanks Anita - a good op shopping day 🤗

[@sandybecker245]

Lovely finds! Appreciate that you rescue them. As much as I LOVE seeing them, I don't think I can watch your haul videos anymore. You have more than you will ever use. Maybe consider passing them on. ❤ Love love love the first green and white sheet thing. Love all the coloured doilies, you don't see them very often ❤

[@createandcraftwithchristine]

Hi Sandy - thank you for your thoughts - it’s something I think about often and it’s why I send out happy mail packs to stitchy friends here in Australia and overseas often. Unfortunately the overseas postage costs are a bit prohibitive to send big packages but I can send smaller ones just fine. I know that in coming years it will be much harder to locate vintage linens at reasonable prices so that is part of my consideration as I’m keen to be able to continue sharing my goodies, particularly with those starting out who are struggling to find supplies. I’m also hoping my nephews and niece will get into slow stitching. When I have items I won’t use (like excess fabric from bigger pieces where I only need a little or doilies with a colour or design I won’t use) then I also donate back to op shops. And do let me know if you are in need of any items and I’m happy to send you a happy mail too. Cheers and have a lovely weekend 💙🧵🪡

[@suevoigt5973]

Wow you had some amazing finds when you were thrifting especially the quilt for $1.00

[@createandcraftwithchristine]

Thanks so much Sue - I almost had to pinch myself with that quilt! And the fact it was in the pet section! Just goes to show you need to look everywhere as you never know where that treasure might be hiding 🤗

[@marthamanigross]

Great haul, loved seeing Travers. Enjoy your holidays.

[@createandcraftwithchristine]

Thanks Martha - we’re having a really lovely time. Hope you’re doing well too and the challenging utilities have resolved. Cheers, Christine

[@marthamanigross]

@@createandcraftwithchristine well, our water is back - whether it’s actually safe or not is another story, lol. We are well though. Missing stitching tho. Hugs that black puppy for me!!!

[@dawnmeldrum1267]

Great bargains even on holidays

[@createandcraftwithchristine]

Thank you Dawn - feeling lots of gratitude for these treasures 🤗

[@catherineb9857]

what treasures, well done. I am so excited to be going to Australia soon and get a chance to check out your great opshops. I love all the embroidered pieces you find. I might have to try a little project pouch. Have a good week, Catherine

[@createandcraftwithchristine]

Hi Catherine - welcome to Australia in advance and I hope you have wonderful op shop finds! If you have the chance I venture to some regional op shops or even outer metropolitan areas I can highly recommend. Cheers, Christine 💙🧵🪡

[@paulinedonnelly6077]

Wow Christine, some amazing items at a bargain price 🤗🤗🤗I always check out the pet blanket section,as I buy blankets for my daughter's dog, & I have picked up some some amazing blankets for my stash xx TFS xxxxx😍😍

[@createandcraftwithchristine]

Thanks Pauline - I do feel very grateful and happy to hear you e had great finds in the pet section too. I’m now enjoying the quilt on my bed as it washed up perfectly. Cheers, Christine 💙🧵🪡

[@merridithnewman2400]

I love Trevors inquisitive nature of what you are doing...a vintage haberdashery journal sounds interesting. I am just starting to collect these and I am going to create a vintage haberdashery sewing basket with these items in it.

[@createandcraftwithchristine]

Travers sends you a nose boop 🐾What a lovely idea to create a vintage haberdashery sewing basket. Maybe my journal needs to fold out of a sewing basket… mind cogs whirring 💙🧵🪡 cheers, Christine

You lucky lady!😊

[@createandcraftwithchristine]

Thanks so much Pat 🤗

[@creepycutiecrafty]

That lace and embroidered tablecloth at 9 minutes is gorgeous! You always find so many beautiful little treasures! The blue and white embroidered napkin at the 27th minute is so pretty and delicate All that lovely huge quilt for only $1?!? That’s craziness! Such an awesome find! (Also, hi Travers! That’s an excellent videobomb!)

[@createandcraftwithchristine]

Haha Trav says he is very skilled at photobombing but strangely he doesn’t like when the paparazzi tries to take his picture as he always looks away just as the button is pushed 😆 Feeling very lucky with these finds and already putting them to good use. Looking forward to your next Friday stitchy video 🤗

[@creepycutiecrafty]

@@createandcraftwithchristine Trav is the type who only lets special friends take his pick! Always be choosy Travers!

[@lisazilaro6906]

I think Travis would love that quilt, a cozy bed. He’s so sweet. ♥️

[@createandcraftwithchristine]

Thank you Lisa - he is a very sweet boy 🐾💛

[@jeanbawden8071]

Another lovely haul. When I lived on the Gold Coast, I would get some lovely old linens in the op shops for next to nothing. I just don’t see anything like it in the Uk.

[@createandcraftwithchristine]

It definitely be sounds like we are very fortunate here with what we can find in op shops in terms of vintage linens. It’s strange as I would have thought there would be more of these in the UK but maybe people don’t send them to op shops? Hope you’re having a lovely week. Cheers, Christine 💙🧵🪡

[@gailrands3614]

Hey Christine. Since meeting you in Mallacoota Oppy I've been 'Hooked', 'stitched up' into shopping online for 'stuff' & Oppy. LOL 😂. I've now almost completed my 3rd creation, a needle book that's way too big ( thick for its cover) so will probably need to make a bag to pop it in LOL. BUT I love it. I keep finding things to add to it.... I have so many projects in my head now I'm going to have to begin writing them down so I don't forget 😂... I love watching all your videos & have begun watching Kate in the nest too. So many fabulous ideas come from your videos Enjoy bright, cheers Gail Rands Mallacoota

[@createandcraftwithchristine]

It still makes me so happy that a moment shared in an oppy has carried forward across time and space to a shared love for stitching. I hope we can catch up for a stitch and a cuppa when we’re in Mallacoota next March 🤗 And so happy you are watching Kate too 💛

[@lindaherrington6291]

Great haul, love the doilies. I bought a box of Irish linen napkins at a car boot sale a few months ago for £1.50, similar to those you have in your haul. Not sure that I want to cut into them, but I felt they needed an appreciative home.

[@createandcraftwithchristine]

I’m very happy those linen napkins found a new home with you. I love hearing about the car boot sales in the UK - we don’t really have those here, although there are ‘Trash and Treasure’ markets but I don’t really like crowds so I don’t go to those. Cheers, Christine 💙🧵🪡

[@GillianHall-zu8xb]

Lovely haul !!! No you can't get anything like this in the UK especially on the Isle of Wight ,I,m always looking, but not very lucky . I have been so lucky to have been sent 2 bags this week from my bestest friend who lives in Morwell, Victoria , Australia , when I opened them it was like Christmas xx

[@createandcraftwithchristine]

How wonderful to have your friend send you a package - glad you have lots of lovelies to stitch with now. Cheers, Christine 💙🧵🪡
