Here's what I found:
They had quite a few music books, plus a small collection of recorders and a folding music stand, if anyone's interested in those sorts of things. I've just started to learn clarinet, so I was a bit excited to find a Grade One AMEB clarinet book with pieces I can actually play. It's great when the original price stickers are left on things, because now I can delight in the knowledge that our entire haul of goodies (including some books for The Chef) cost us less than the clarinet book cost its original owner.
My favourite piece was easily the Traditional Knitting with Wool book. Not only does it have some fantastic classic patterns, it also contains information about traditional knitting techniques from around the world.
No prizes for guessing where the last patterns are from.
The Treasure Shop is definitely worth a detour if you happen to be in the Upwey area.

Katie, we have a cardboard box full of knitting patterns and books, old and new. They've been there forever and it is a wonder they've never been thrown out, but I suppose the volunteer staff know that now and then, people do buy a few. Brotherhood opshop in the National Bank Arcade in Eltham if you are interested.
That sounds fantastic - I'm definitely interested in the sound of that box of patterns. Thanks for letting me know!
Don't forget this week is Easter so we won't be open on Good Friday.
