Our local tip has a very good shop where they sell salvaged goods like toilets, bicycles, furniture, crockery and clothes. I have picked up some great outdoor chairs there recently. This rocking chair was a mess with lots of layers of paint and rust.
I stripped it back, repainted it and made a new cushion to give it a new lease of life.
The cushion cover has been made out of a fabulous vintage table cloth I found at an op shop.It is very comfortable and looks great on our verandah.
Question - what do you call an op shop? Op is short for opportunity and is a shop run by a charity selling second hand goods, especially clothes. Do you call it charity, thrift, jumble?
