Sweet Fabric:
clicketty trip

One of my favourite ever op shop finds.

I've got some new house plans for these cards. Opped in Balwyn for $1.

OK people, if you've played along this week you need to add a link to the specific post which mentions the word you unscrambled from all the letters you've collected throughout the week.

It doesn't have to be a post you've written especially (but feel free to do that if you like). If you've previously mentioned this word a link to that post will be fine. You just need to make sure you link to the relevant post.

SAMPLE:
I've collected all my clues & I think the answer is "bluebird". I'm going to add my link like this.

I didn't think anything could be worse that waking up to a clock radio which is stuck between stations.

But The Date says there's no way he can sleep with this ticking so I guess it's for decoration only.

The Date's playing a golf tournament & he asked if the kids & I wanted to come along.

At first I had a minor breakdown about the kids missing school. The Date raised his eyebrows at me & I gave myself a stern talking to & now we're all on a plane heading for a bit of warmth.

I'm planning to share some of the recent op shop purchases that have made my little op shopping heart skip a beat.

I figured that might get a bit biege for you guys. So...

I thought you might like to take a little trip of your own...around my home town. I'll have a clue accompanying each post this week. You'll need to follow the clues & at the end of the week you'll unscramble to find something that is also close to my heart.

You'll need a notepad & pen beside your mouse (or something more techy if you're opposed to the pen). All the answers are contained within recent posts on each blog. That is I found the answers on the first page of each blog on Friday 11th September. Don't panic if you can't find the answers straight away...it's OK to cheat a little & email/twitter a buddy.

There'll be further instructions with the final clue!

Sound like fun? If you play to the end you'll go into the draw to win a prize (yet to be determined but I promise it will be good).

CLUE #1
