RSPCA Op Shop- New Farm

Today's post is for those of you who love the labels.  I have two sisters, one is the queen of all things antique and retro and the other has a magical gift of walking into a fairly ratty old op shop and walking out with a genuine Dogstar frock This place was discovered my the label queen herself.


The RSPCA has 12 thrift shops in SE QLD.  Each one has it's own specialities.  The one at New Farm is packed with designer labels....shoes...leather coats...bags... It has a furniture section out the back that has very clean, good quality items.  There's a couple of walls of books and at the front is a small jewellery cabinet.  When I was shopping in here last weekend, one of the volunteers persuaded me to part with $10 for a pair of hiking boots.  When I arrived home, I realised that they were handmade Italian mountaineering boots that, when new, would have been sold for somewhere between $300 and $400.


I love the RSPCA. It's a fantastic charity and deserves our support. It's good to think that every cent that you spend here is feeding a dog or a cat while they are looking for a new home.


The least you need to know: NEW FARM FURNITURE BARN is at Cnr Merthyr & Lamington St New Farm Qld 4005 Phone: (07) 3254 2309.  There's a couple of parking spaces next to the entrance but quite a lot in the surrounding side streets as well.

This is the furniture barn part.  It's at the very back of the store

These arm chairs were $30 each.  bargain!

You have various prices of single items, with this 3 for $10 special every day.  Every couple of weeks, they have something excitedly called by my sister "Bag Day", where you can fill a Coles plastic bag with clothing for $10.
