have you visited since we remodelled?

Remodelling is almost complete and we would like to thank all our wonderful customers for their patience during our crazy shinnanigans (aka the shop refit). 

The refit has been a huge success, with more people than ever visiting our humble little shop since we reopened with our new floorplan.  We have been receiving many compliments from people visiting ever since!

There is more space to walk around inside, our fitting room has moved, and our front window has had a complete transformation with new shelving which allows us to display many more items than we ever could have dreamed of !!

I must try to remember to take some pictures and upload them to the blog and the website!

Right now I only have this picture, which was taken Thursday night after many hours of frustration trying to assemble the shelves that form the new window display...

The window display is constantly changing as things are sold and new items are donated or unearthed from storage.

Recent new additions to the shelves include some great science fiction novels by Robin Hobb,  Lian Hearn and many many more (we received about 2 full boxes of sci fi books so if this is your genre, please pop in and have a look - we have many that don't even fit on the shelves yet!).

So if you haven't popped in recently please call by and tell us what you think of our new look shop! 

** Mills & Boon - near new & half price **

If you are a Mills and Boon reader, we received a box of near new novels in the store yesterday.  They are all now half price and range in reduced prices of $1 to $4 each.

** bookshelf for sale ** SOLD

Sandlewood Op Shop  also has a grey office bookshelf for sale.  It has 1 fixed and 3 adjustable shelves.   The bookcase measures 180cm tall x 91cm wide x 30cm deep and is available for pick up from our shop in Moorooka.  Please contact us with an offer over $25.

** new stock arriving daily! **

This week we've already got some new and interesting things into the shop.

For those vinyl collectors, a huge selection of vintage vinyl has arrived in store. 
If there's something specific you're looking for, please let us know and we'll add you to our wishlist.

Also, for those of you who come into the store this week, you may notice some changes - we have new shelving units along the right hand side of the shop, making it look a little less cluttered {I did say a little}.

It will however, make it a LOT easier for all the readers to find books - since the books are now mostly put into order by genre.   I've also tried to group together multiples of books by the same author, so if you're looking at a particular author, Robin Cook for example, you'll find a stack of her books all together. 

One last thing for tonight - I want to send a huge thank you to Desley and Grace.  While I was away today they worked like troopers to tidy up our back room, which looked very much like a disaster zone for some time.  With customers constantly coming in and out of the shop, it made it very difficult for us to keep up with this ever-growing pile of clothes and other items and it seems that today they got it largely under control! YAY!

** BOOKS 1/2 PRICE **

All books in store are half the marked price!

I just took another 3 full boxes of books down to the shop today, which will hopefully be priced and put out this week.

We've got a great selection of books including

• Fiction
• Biographies
• Science fiction
• Chic-lit
• Mills & Boon {an assortment of vintage and newer titles}
• Cooking
• Craft {a great selection of vintage crochet & knitting patterns, smocking, sewing, Topkids)
• Childrens titles

In the boxes of books yet to be put out there are books on gardening, assorted books on birds and fish, several novels, and a selection of classic literature.
