I never seem to have much luck op shopping. I find the odd book I want now and then or some nice old cups or plates. Because I never seem to find anything I don't tend to go that often. Today as I drove past I found myself thinking I really did need to go in. So I doubled back and this is what I found. I have wanted one of these since I was about 8 or 9. I think it has only missing one plate and it cost me a whole $2. I can't promise, but I might even share it with the girls.
I also found some great patterns and a couple of books on Machine Knitting. This lot cost $4.50.

Typical- a bathers pattern at the op shop AFTER buying on Ebay. Bloody Murphy!
I had fashion plates! I loved it, oh so much. My younger daughter would be beside herself...Thanks for reviving that memory, now I just need to find it on Ebay...
I had Fashion Plates too! What a great haul.
I like the look of that snap setter. I am a bit hit and miss at the op shops.
I soooo wanted fashion plates when I was 8 or 9! I was jealous of the girls who had them. And then I found the modern repro version of them at Kmart in December so I bought them for my daughter who is 9! Of course they are not as good as the 80s ones ;)
I gave Fashion Plates to my daughter when she was young, they were well used. I can't remember what happened to them..we probably gave them away when she got older! I haven't seen or really thought about them until now.
I had those fashion plates when i was a kid - I'd forgotten all about them, but i do remember loving to sit with colored pencils to create all the looks. thanks for the great reminder of childhood!
Ah, Fashion Plates! Love them. I had these as a child, and they now live at the Mum's house for my own girls to enjoy when they visit her. I agree about not sharing, I love that little black crayon holder that you rub over the plates.
Hi Kate, stumbled across these cute patterns and always enjoy seeing what you make your lovely girls.
