Perle 8 thread

I don't often pop into op shops these days, but I was dragged (willingly, of course) into Oakleigh Salvos this afternoon by my son.
There I found 15 balls of Perle 8 thread for $8.00. Moments earlier I had been contemplating buying Perle 8 thread from the nearby wool store for $2.50 per ball. Clearly my son was onto a winner!


Displayed on an old spool holder found at the same oppy a couple of years ago.

New earrings for $4.50!!

How cool are these earrings? $4.50 fro St James Op Shop, Malvern Road, Glen Iris.

The Ever Colourful Salvation Army

Look at this skirt! I haven't worn it yet.. but look how mermaidish it is! I think it's brilliant. It had an original price tag of $365 - not sure how accurate that was tho. Anyhoo, I paid a humble $24. Hmm.. I need to find somewhere appropriate to wear it....

Yours Now Mine

Looks like this weekend in Melbourne is going to be a rainy one. Ah.. winter is upon us my friends. So to cheer us all up, here’s another Op Shop for our lists! Checking this place out could be a lovely, rainy day activity for Saturday!

Yours Now Mine has been running for the past 10 years and is run by the Scalabrini Brothers, who use profits to look after the elderly.

From these pics they look stocked up with shoes, handbags, bric-a-brac, kitchenware, machester, prints and paintings, jewellery and books. They also sell European and local brand named clothing.

Opening Hours

Monday - Friday: 10am - 4pm
Saturday: 10am - 1pm

321 Doncaster Road, Greythorn Victoria 3104

The inside scoop for checking this place out on Saturday is that because they need to put new stock out and tidy up, volunteers are still there until about 2.30pm.

Much more at my site :) www.adelle.com.au . Come and say hello!
