Consumption rebellion

I'm starting to be affected by the consumption rebellion.

today i went to 2 op shops and bought some clothes for amelie - pants for $1.50 and top for $1. look new to me. such bargains!

this week i am going to locate all my nearest op shops and hopefully check them out. see what kids clothes they have. would be great to replace the kids kmart/target clothes with op shop ones. i'm sure this is old news to lots of people but ... !



also as part of trying to consume less, here is a bag i made from an old pair of jeans and some sheets (mum's friend gave them to her, they are literally from the 70s). it's using the tiny happy instructions - thanks for the inspiration pip!
