Daylesford score

Yesterday my friend Sean and I went on an antiquing/second-hand-scavenging day trip to Daylesford and I picked up some stellar stuff for lil' McCabe from The Mill Market and the Sunday Market.

If there is one thing that has defined my shopping habits over the last 12-18 months it is that almost all of my personal clothing/accessory-related purchases are second hand. The challenges of being patient and open-minded about what I may or may not come home with from my favourite op/retro/vintage stores, coupled with the thrill of the eventual find (and the frugalistic price tag), oh... it's just so nerdingly exhilarating. Total cost of this loot: $28.

Anyway, here is a sneak peak of one of the other items we've bought (from Grandfather's Axe... a.k.a. furniture heaven) in preparation for the baby... a comfy chair for me to sit in (conveniently upholstered in a fabric that will disguise milk and other baby-related stains).

In conclusion, shopping for babies is FUN. And a great distraction from thinking about the thing that has to happen before  the baby can be around to enjoy them... :{
