** are you a collector? or looking for something specific? **

We have a "wish list" at the shop.

Simply drop us a line at  sandlewoodopshop@bigpond.com to let us know what you're looking for.

Some examples of things currently on our wishlist are

• vinyl/LPs
• vintage handkerchiefs
• dinky/diecast toys
• retro clothing (we seem to get quite a bit of retro clothing in!)

Don't be shy - if there is something you really want, we're happy to get in touch with you if we get it in.

Last week we were able to help a lady find 2 items she had been looking for - a medieval style dress and mens tails (formal jacket).  She was thrilled! 

As op-shopaholic's ourselves, we know what a buzz it is to find what you're looking for, at a reasonable price. 

** vintage gold rings now in store **

Last month we blogged about some Estate jewellery that was heading our way. 

Well it's finally here.  There are some stunning pieces, including opal rings, an amethyst ring and a garnet ring to name just a couple. 

They have all been checked out and professionally cleaned by a jeweller, so if you happen to be in the area, pop in and check them out !!

** renovations are almost done!! **

Our refurbishment is almost complete!!  Thank goodness I don't have to paint any more!

We now have additional space in the adjoining shop where we've moved all our books, shoes, records and cds.

Homewares etc are to be moved into the back section in the future (just as soon as we can find the light switch LOL)

We also installed new racks in the shop for kids clothes last week, and I think it's looking a lot more organised and together!!

Also, more winter clothes will be available soon.  We have started to put out a selection of Winter gear, but most of it is currently at our storage facility.  I'm hoping to get there later this week to do some sorting so I can bring back more winter gear as it seems to be in demand!
