The day started with a visit to Craft Fair on Burwood Highway at Ferntree Gully. They have a lovely coffee shop so after a long and thoughtful browse we indulged and refreshed ourselves as this photo of Sharon and Miss Eagle taken by Gina shows.
So after that, it was off to the Market at Upper Gully.
Stalls were somewhat depleted because of the weather but we saw what there was to see.
It was then only a hop, step, and a little jump to walk across to the PWP Opp Shop down behind the Royal Hotel. Miss Eagle has posted previously on the wonderful art on the facade of this opp shop. See here, here, and here.
So we followed the Paws into the shop.
Miss Eagle discovered that the art work does not stop at the front door. The dressing room is a delight with this wonderful work on one corrugated iron wall.
Gina left no item unturned...
...while Sharon searched the racks.
We looked at the ties to make a selection for Woof Nanny. Miss Eagle tried to convince Gina that you need an AFL tie, Barb. Miss E knew you wouldn't have one of these from the Australain Football League. But do you think Miss E could convince Gina....!
So here, Barb, is the selection!
Here is some of Miss Eagle's treasure. This was $3 worth including a facewasher (unpictured).
A stencil set for $3 was also purchased.

I know Sharon (!) through her blog, then we did a lino cut printing class together. The world is small.
What a lovely write up, and beaut photos as well! I had no idea you were snapping me looking at laces for Pam K! It was a fun day, wasn't it..
I have just found a lovely knitted something at the local op-shop. It has two square corners and two rounded so it may have been for putting over the back of a couch or a shawl. It also has a beautiful crochet edge in triangles. I couldn't leave it, it might have gone to a bad home.
Of course you couldn't leave it there jahteh. Such risk - it might go to a bad home indeed. Would love to see a picture of it. Both Herself and I have had shops and we are firm believers that the right people get the right things. I have had lay-bys go wrong with people I have been doubtful about whether they are the ones for the item. But I wouldn't fret - because the right person turns up in due course.
What a lovely recap of your day. I'm glad you both had a good time. :)
