So for office floaters, freelancers and entrepreneurs who want to get out of the house and put their office-frame of mind in gear, enter River City Labs. Part office space, part start up / innovation hub, part event space - this unassuming office just metres from the Fortitude Valley train station on Wickham Street is a cool surprise on Brisbanes technology and start-up map. They offer tenancies on various leases from month to month or longer term arrangements. Just imagine the collaborations that would take place with the mix of businesses already calling River City their working home!?! I had my first River City Labs experience recently attending a Content Strategy Meet Up and it won't be my last!

You find all sorts of odds and ends at the rickety and charming St Veronica's. I know I've bought a couple of clothing gem's here over the years (a prize powder blue party dress) as well as quirky gifts for friends. (Naked Garden gnomes anybody?) Employ those eagle eyes when hunting down that perfect dress as finding treasure here can get challenging (as the photos can attest.)

I always walk out with armloads of clothes when I visit St Veronica's. If you can spend some time rifling through the racks, both men and women will be pleasantly surprised with the findings. They also have an enviable collection of manchester, vintage crockery, books and an abundance of cheap frames (of particular mention for any artists out there). If you're on the lookout for some random domestic need, go there for a gander. Last week I was in desperate need of a tagine, and I struck gold. It's just that kind of place- full of handy wears you never knew you needed until you laid your eyes upon it. It isn't the cheapest op-shop around, but for a West End op shop, it is the most reasonably priced. You'll probably also have a higher success rate for finding gems because of it's out of the way location.

Primarily this store is stocked with old and used clothing and house hold goods. I'm told that on a Monday afternoon that's when the cool retro stuff is in and all the second hand retailers are digging through to find the best hand me downs to sell in their own stores. There is a plethora of ladies wear throughout the store and some suits for the gentlemen. My suggestion is to go check it out cause everything that's bought there goes to a good cause.

I opened the door to reveal a wooden room, with seats and a display table with watchbands and books. I went in and had my watch battery replaced. It was worked on while I waited. I would recommend anybody who would like their watch done by a professional with excellent service. *UPDATE* I've just recently came back to get my watch battery replaced and pressure tested and he remembered the last time he serviced my watch to the date of when he serviced it. That's quality service!

The quality of the work was exceptional and as a result I have been back a number of times since. If you need a watch worked on then do go to see Timecraft. I've seen someone having been told by a jeweller that their quartz watch needed a service for hundreds of dollars, they took it to Ian who was able to tell them all it needed was a new battery and did that on the spot. Ian is one of that disappearing breed of craftsmen who are proud of what they do, and seeing the right thing done by customers. I highly recommend his services.

Dion is really friendly, reliable and good price. He answered his phone, told me the time range to arrive, came exactly on time. I filled up the bin during the day and called him to let him know and he came to pickup the same day! We had a quick chat and I realised he is not just a skip bin operator but a very good man with a big heart as well. Thank you Dion! You are very good and special person! I will use your service again and call you next week! Cheers.
