Praise God for faithful friends, who know what you need, and know exactly where to find it. Our friend, Janice, took us to one of her favourite op-shops while we were visiting with her the other day, and we found just what we were needing - a new quilt cover set for the guest bedroom (left), a delightful rose patterned quilt cover set for our bedroom (right), a new pair of trousers for my husband, a pair of jeans for my son and a blouse and three new nighties for my daughter. We had been using a quilt cover for the guest bedroom from our very first home, back in 1990, and it was becoming very threadbare, but now our guests will have the finest of bedlinen.
We also found a book that has been on my "wanted" list for a very long time - We of the Never Never by Mrs Aeneas Gunn, and some other treasures, too - Station Life in Australia Pioneers and Pastoralists by Peter Taylor and A Treasury of Favourite Australian Poems by Lloyd O'Neill. These should keep my daughter reading for a little while. These books truly are "Living books".
Isn't it incredible how God uses people to fulfil His purposes on this earth? Our friend, Janice is a wonderful example of a Christian who makes herself available for God's purposes, and we love her with all our ♥.

Luv donna
Hi Donna,
Op-shops are just great, aren't they? Trust in God is needed when going op-shopping, isn't it - trust that He will provide what you need. :)
He certainly is our Great Provider!
Have a great week,
Blessings,
Jillian
I love Op Shops. Should be more of them. Great finds.
Hi Ganeida,
I love op-shopping, esepcially when it is a new one - I love discovering new and different things. :)
We have four in Port Pirie, although only two of them are really reasonably priced. Adelaide has some excellent op-shops, but most of them are really expensive, as they have to pay rent and a manager.
Have a great week,
Blessings,
Jillian
Wow Jillian you have such amazing finds at op shops. So Port Pirie is the place to check. Maybe we should take a drive up there this holidays!
Hi Aliadelaide,
If you're planning on driving up to Port Pirie to go to the op-shops, they are closed during the school holidays, and Vinnies are closed on Mondays. I would hate you to drive all that way to find them shut.
Have a great week,
Blessings,
Jillian
