"I am a regular reader of the blog and I thought that I would let you know that Barneys Boutique in Charnwood are having their winter sale and all the clothes are reduced to a dollar each.
There are some great bargains to get--my husband got a new woolen dressing gown (Smartex brand) yesterday and a mans pullover for a $1.00 each both in excellent condition.
I thought you might like to pass this on to the readers.
Regards
Doreen Grey"

Barneys Boutique sale
Friday, 12 February 2010
Been gone too long...
It's been a hard year so far, op-shopping wise. According to my accounts I spent nothing op shopping in January and, until this week, $4 in February (a copy of the classic Enchanted Broccoli Forest from Vinnies Phillip)
But the combination of pay and an area rich with independent op shops had me off exploring during lunchtime in the last day or two. And this is what I scored (for a total of $17):
* Very large button jar: $2 (Another Chance, Scullin: if you're out that way and see a metal daisy on the path, it's Miss Daisy's much missed key ring thingy...)
* Alison Holst's Meals without Meat: $2 (Hand to Hand, Kippax) My #1 cookbook: whenever I find a copy second hand, I buy it as it always finds a new home pretty quickly. I think this is the ninth copy I've bought...
*Lovely coloured vintage Patonyle: $1.50 for 3x25g balls (Re Runs op shop, Charnwood).
Much as I'd love to keep this, it's heading here.
* Vintage Queen sized cotton sheet: $2 (Hand to Hand, Kippax). This find made me very very happy.
* And, finally, bag of vintage ric rac: $2.50 (Hand to Hand, Kippax).

Not sure if I'm nice enough to pass it on or not...
* Two Tupperware plates: $1 each (Another Chance, Scullin). Another gift...
* 4 balls "New" Caressa: $5 total (Hand to Hand, Kippax) I have a friend who deserves a pair of lounge socks and likes purple...

Introducing Barney's Boutique
I received an email from a reader last week saying:
"There's another op shop that's not listed currently. It's called Barney's Boutique and it's at the Charnwood Shops.
It's a little op shop attached to the St Barnabas Anglican Church that collects funds for Anglicare. The address (I believe) is 39 Charnwood Pl, Charnwood ACT. While it's a small shop, they carry nice merchandise for very, very good prices and the people who run it are very sweet.
Their business hours are W-F 1:30pm - 5:30pm and Saturday 9:30am - 12:30pm."
So, of course I had to go check it out...
(Alas I wasn't allowed to take a photo inside)
I'd say it's not worth a special trip but when combined with Reruns (also in Charnwood), Hand to Hand (Kippax) and Another Change (Scullin) it would be a worthwhile occasional op shop run.

Northside Christmas close downs
I finally made the time today to whizz round what I term the "second tier" op shops Northside to confirm their opening hours on our google docs spreadsheet.
None of them have reopened yet after Christmas:
Reruns (Charnwood) reopens 12 Jan.
So does Hand to Hand (Holt: Kippax Fair).
Another Chance (Scullin) reopens on 19 Jan.
Also Northside, here's a burning question that you might be able to answer for me:
There's a listing for a Global Care op shop in Macquarie. I've never found it. Does it still exist or do we need to remove it from the spreadsheet?
