off to the Yarra Valley - -

Today GD and I decided to take a trip to the Yarra Valley to view the Brett Whiteley exhibition at TarraWarra Museum of Art.  The weather was great, and I have to admit the scenery was just perfect.  Along the way, we resisted the temptation to stop at EVERY op shop, but we did stop at a few, and found some more patterns, and embroidery bits and pieces, including a cute little frame, a pair of long... really long.. white lace gloves, and another copy of Notebook magazine. Best find was a set of six KEN DONE coasters, we are both great Ken Done fans!
Most were found at Ringwood, and Healesville, but we made a few stops elsewhere too. A lovely day out♥

I just love outings that include op-shop bounty too! And I completely agree with Fourth Daughter: I'm not sure I could resist the lure of a number of regional op-shops to take in all those other sights!
