There’s a new blog in town, about Op Shopping in Melbourne. It is a collaborative blog which means there is input about great Op Shop finds from a variety of bloggers, as they share their experiences of op shopping in and around Melbourne. An excellent feature is the handy locality listing down the right hand side of their page, which is probably the most comprehensive I’ve seen – it includes opening days and hours of a long list of stores.
Op shopping is becoming popular amongst crafters, who like to find bits and pieces, fabrics, yarns and oddments to create with. There are toys for the kids, and occasionally you will find that perfect piece of clothing, and designer labels are not uncommon.
My dad always liked trash and treasures and brick-a-brack shops, and I think I’ve developed a love of hunting for treasure. I find it fun and relaxing! (Thanks dad!) I have a love for all things vintage, and reclaiming and recycling is becoming quite popular, and of course there’s always the fact that you’re helping the charities of Melbourne.
Do pay a visit to this totally fun and interesting site, and perhaps find a treasure yourself 
fantastic! thank you so much.
one of my favourite things about being away on holidays, is checking out the local op shops… that guide is handy, because now I can make a list of all the ones I want to stop at along the way, too!
