Stuff is brought out another 3 times each morning. You have to be patient and persistent! <br /><br />First Wednesday is Designer Clothing for $7 but I’ve scored loads of designer stuff on the normal days. My teenagers love it when I go there! Also got some great retro stuff, necklaces and scarves. <br /><br />It’s open W to F mornings. Open at 8am. Best to get there early if you can. <br />Happy New Year!<br />Sarah <br /><br />ps Don’t post this! I feel a bit silly writing to you about this but just wanted to share the op shop love!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7492903313028603031.post-17324468191598670952017-11-28T09:21:31.807+10:002017-11-28T09:21:31.807+10:00I enjoy thrifting as well.

I am currently wearing a name brand black hooded rain jacket that I thrifted for $5. I get great compliments every time I wear it. I enjoy better quality products but can't afford to pay retail so thrifting is great by me.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7492903313028603031.post-26217496439860548532017-11-24T19:16:22.947+10:002017-11-24T19:16:22.947+10:00Great advice.

I know which one to go to for furnishings or china, which one for vintage jewellery, which one for designer pieces. Pure wool blankets are a special passion of mine too, so long as they are in lovely pastel colours. Have a great weekend.
