Have you checked out Grand Circle? It’s a little like eBay in that it’s an online market place. But, unlike eBay, it’s an Australian virtual market place. It is only available to Australian residents. To sell on Grand Circle, all you need is a PayPal account. Oh, and some clothes to sell would be a(…)
Okay, it’s getting to the point where some of my friends are starting to hate me over my success at op-shops. I do think it’s truly ironic that the ones who complain about my luck the loudest are the ones who only step into op-shops about twice a year. When I started this blog, I(…)

L’call upcycles old garments into beautiful purses, bags and accessories. The Director of l’call, Mary Cruz, agreed to answer some questions for me about this intriguing label. Read on to find(…)
I love visiting country markets on the weekends. Well, if I don’t sleep in too late, that is! Most of the towns along the Bellarine Peninsula run markets throughout the summer months (when it’s tourist season). But Ocean Grove moves it’s market indoors after Easter, when the weather starts to get a bit nippy. I(…)
The Sacred Heart Mission Auction night was one of the most intense events I have been to for a long time. It was absolutely packed to the rafters, and the competition got a little fierce at points during the auction! I spoke to a few staff members from Sacred Heart about the event,(…)
