I haven't given this dressmaker a higher rating as I don't know much about it unfortunately. But I…read morehad to make mention of it because it is such a cute, tiny, little shop front on Melbourne Street at North Adelaide. As far as dressmakers and tailors go, I know they make alterations to clothing and can also design and make clothing by special order, depending on their area of expertise. The shop front measures at a guess probably about two and a half metres wide! It's painted in a faded red patina, has a 3/4 glass and solid base front door, one large shop front window which displays a chair with a white throw on it, a rustic blue cabinet with an antique treadle sewing machine on it, with a rectangular gold scroll edge mirror above it. There is another doorway which leads into the workshop and can be closed with the blue and white leafy embossed curtains. There are no opening hours as there is nothing ready made to sell, so it'll have to be via appointment only.

(ORIGINALLY POSTED 23/2/15) I can't recommend Mary highly enough! She fit me in with short notice,…read morethen when I arrived without knowing what i wanted, she cut my hair into a style I absolutely love! I feel like a new woman - my hair looks fabulous & healthy, and I have the most versatile cut I have had in years, and I have had so many compliments. I love going to her salon, there is a real feeling of being pampered. I'm so happy I found a hairdresser like Mary, I'm looking forward to my next appointment.

Mary ruined my hair. I went in with hair almost to my waist and asked for balayge and to cut 10cm…read moreoff. She curled my while still wet so I couldn't see the damage she had done until 2 days later as I had my wisdom teeth out just after my appointment with Mary. Once I could get out of bed and straighten my hair I was in shock she cut my hair just past my shoulders and I had all orange splotches through my hair and she did not even cover any greys. When I contacted her once I was physically able to which was 2 days later she said she could try and fix my hair which I declined after the horrible job she did the first time she would not give a partial refund. The worst part being how short my hair is now I can't even wear it in a pony tail. When I got back to work at least 5 colleges asked what on earth happened to my hair, they thought I had done it myself. Mary then claimed I photoshopped the before and after photos and called me a scammer. This was the most unprofessional woman I have ever met and the comments she made to me were hurtful. I have since had to go have my hair colour corrected and it will take 3 visits before I can get rid of the orange blobs scattered through my hair. The hairdresser I seen after Anna was amazing she also had a number of clients come to her after seeing Mary. I hope no one ever has to go through the experience I did with Mary. I still have all the before and after photos as well as all the crazy text messages she sent me.

If you're partial to beautiful things that are just a little different to what you'll find…read moreeverywhere else then you should visit Market Import on King William Road. Everything in the shop is big on colour! In fact the entire shop is just big, bright and bold when it comes to colour. They have a variety of rich and vivid platters, containers, glassware and wicker items to brighten your house and their selection of ceramic plates, cups and bowls is not only vivid but style wise its a very sturdy ceramic. Forget fine bone china, that's not what this place is about. The shop and all its product has a decidedly Mexican feel about it which kind of makes sense because they describe themselves as 'importers of beautiful things from around the globe.' I must be a lover of things from around the globe because I can't resist making yet another purchase or two when I'm in there. If you're looking for something to decorate a bare wall in your house, check out their range of canvases. These appear to me to be large canvases covered with exotic fabrics that result in simply the best pieces of inexpensive artwork for your walls. And if you're not into brightly coloured walls they also have a range of beautiful mirrors that are sure to work in most spaces. If your next party, your home or even your day are in need of an injection of colour then I recommend you visit Market Import and indulge in a purchase or two.

There is much treasure to seek here and help redefine a new look for your home, with bright colourful pieces hailing from Italy, Spain and Mexico. I found a jute placemat, popular in Asia, in bright shades of pink, orange, blue and more. What a brilliant piece to add colour and character to a simple afternoon lunch spread. The shop is relatively new in Adelaide, having had two stores in Melbourne and Sydney. There are stunning wooden puppets and wall pieces to decorate your kids room and if you enjoy ceramic pottery, you should check out the products from Mexico. There is plenty to feast your eyes on and satiate your inner decorator insticts.

Second Interiors has a lot higher quality of furniture and products than other second hand stores I…read morehave been in to, but with the higher quality comes the higher prices. The store is centrally located just off South Rd and being off the main rd has plenty of on street parking. Like any second hand furniture store it is not the most organised of establishments and there doesn't seem to be any particular order. However, unlike others I found the quality of the furniture to be a lot better. There was complete lounge suites with matching couches and/or armchairs which at around $300-$400 is still better value than anything you could find brand new. The dining section was particularly impressive with some beautiful looking ample sized table sets, some which almost looked brand new. The staff were not rays of sunshine but did ask us if we needed any help or assistance with looking for a particular item.

And this is exactly what Abbott's have and been doing for many years and what the majority of their repeat business is based upon. Located on the prominant corner of Port and South Rds, it stands without having a car or truck plough into it daily, which is a good thing too. Off the shelf they sell all the necessary items for any home / office such as staplers, sticky tape, copy paper, folders, diaries, paper clips, rubber bands and heaps more. They have a photocopier available for anyone off the street to use and offer a copy service for higher volumes of work. The services they offer are varied from someone popping in to get a rough quote for business cards to printing a complete range of streamlined stationary for a home business or major company. Also, there is a inhouse design team to assist with composing your business details to fit the stationary. On the other hand there is an online self help printing service, whereby you don't need to set foot inside the premises, as it's all ready for you to fill in the gaps. The service is quick with a short turn around time from printing to delivery.

As part of being on my particular payment, I had to attend an employment solutions office where I can get help and support on how and where to go about looking for a job. Having been referred to Mission Australia by Centrelink, I was very underwhelmed. The office itself looks a little dodgy and there was a few interesting people waiting out the front for the doors to open. However, the man who conducted my interview was very nice and seemed to have gone through the process numerous times before. He explained everything that we needed to fill out and hand in and then organised a follow up appointment in the instance that I still found myself unemployed. He also said that everyone who is member with them has access to South Australian and national job guides, internet and printing facilities which is really great and can go a long way to help improve one's chance of getting a job.
