May Opp Shop mini haul

May 30, 2025

I took one of my adult offspring to a local opshop this arvo to with intent of finding them a hobby book, or anything focus on, to help break theirdoom scrolling / dopamine harvesting habits. They didn't find anything, buuut as soon as I looked at the gardening section, it was like score, score, score! After instantly having a arm full of books, I threw on the blinkers!! Coming in at $22, a massive $2 over my $20 budget (yes I'm joking!).

Stoked with this collection !

Love this! Last year I noticed a ficus pop up in one of my pots and I've just kinda let it do its thing. When it started to get a bit of age, it started to look like some thing a lil special. Bonsai time!!

While the offspring might not have found what they were looking for, if we have time before the end of their stay, I'm hoping to convince them to help me build one or two of these. There's so soo quick easy projects in this book.
