The Good Op Shop

I can't get enough of Magpie's it seems. They're also great role models.

To everyone who comes into the op shop and volunteers - thank you! You are the op shop. I love your fun stories and happy faces, your enthusiasm and kindness. The world needs more like you.

Happy Volunteer Week.

We have a lot of school uniforms at the moment. We'd love for you to take them off our hands. And we're just asking for a small donation, to cover the space they take up and the time it takes to sort them and hang them.

Please share. Mostly CSC, North School, South School and few others in-between.

Just an idea - I'm interested to see if anyone would pay a small fee, plus postage to get secondhand clothes for crafting, sewing and upcycling? I guess there's always your local op shop, but what if you wanted 10 pairs of jeans to make something? You could tell us what you need and we would do our best to pick out the pairs that meet your criteria and post them to you. Postage is about $25 for 5kg.

Does anyone think this could work?

Thanks community 🙏

I love it when people show me what they make from stuff from our op shop and other op shops. This beautiful denim bag, fully lined, was made by Felicity, who says she's just starting out! We think she's reached advanced level already.

We're open today from 10am to 4pm at 4 Lewis Drive, Castlemaine.

We've had a load of bike helmets donated and we can't sell them. Can anyone use them before they go to landfill?

Open until 4pm and Friday and Saturday from 10am to 4pm at 4 Lewis Drive Castlemaine.
