You heard it first...

If you're reading this, then of course you're an avid op shopper. So you wouldn't think it was strange that I was whiling away a train trip by babbling on about op shopping to a fellow enthusiast who just happens to be having a birthday today and who had just been op shopping as her birthday treat. What you might find strange, or at least just a bit of a coincidence, is that while we were discussing this worthy topic, I happened to look out the window at Tooronga station and notice a sign - about an op shop that is opening soon!!
According to the sign, an MS (Multiple Sclerosis) shop is opening on Glenferrie Road, Malvern. I couldn't see the date, but the sign was asking for volunteers, so it must be opening soonish?
Does anyone have any more info about this exciting news?

Oh this is fantastic news! Glenferrie road lost 2 opshops over the years, a Brotherhood of St Lawrence and a great one that used to be in what is now Gloria Jeans, don't know who it was affiliated with... glad to see we are getting another one!

I hope for all op shop fans out there that this MS shop prices for domated goods is reasonable. Op Shops associated with large charities are overpricing their goods. Say no now or op shopping as we know and love it will cease to be.

I will be in Wattletree Road on Sunday morning, just around the corner from Glenferrie Road, so I'll wander up and have a look around to see if I can find it.
