Eastern suburbs opshops

Frolicking Froggy suggested to me a while ago that we should have a group opshop trawl one day, but I disagreed, saying I'd been on one, and it was chaos, with some people wanting to stay in one shop longer than others, parking cars at the same place doesn't always work, and so on. But in the last few posts, I've seen Silvia, Froggy, Lisa and Brenda all shopping in one area, so I'm thinking it might work assuming you all live around there and know your way around. Froggy and I meet up every three weeks or so, and next week we'll be on that side of town. What do you reckon, girls?

Yup, Gina and I are meeting up on Tuesday morning in Doncaster East for a bit of a trawl around Forest Hill, Blackburn South and Blackburn (maaaaybe Mitcham too if time allows, but I reckon we'll be too bushed). If anyone wants to join us, you're welcome.... I'm happy to drive another couple of people around.

Yes, I would love to, but can't this week. All my work kids are doing uni exams, so I have to work extra hard and cover their shifts. Feel free to drop round and visit me at Brumby's Balwyn on Whitehorse Road for some lunch or afternoon tea though. We should organise something in a couple of weeks and I can roster myself off - have fun girlies

That sounds nice, Silvia! I'm happy to have coffee and something at Brumbys - what do you think, Jess?

Silvia said...

We don't have coffee but have all sorts of buns, slices etc. I will want a full report of what treasures you have found as well - Silvia

Hey Silvia, are there any op shops near you in Balwyn? :-)

Silvia said...

Only one that I know of - Salvos on Whitehorse Road, past Balwyn road, opposite the park/footy oval. Going towards the city it is on the right hand side.

There is one called Yours,Now Mine
321 Doncaster Road, Balwyn North (Greythorn Shopping Centre, between Greythorn and Balwyn roads). I haven't been there for a while but it was good.
