I've been really bummed by the lack of quality op shops/charity stores around the Northern suburbs…read more There's nothing I love better than trawling through glorious vintage clothing, antique furnishings and quirky homewares at an awesome op shop. Which is why I'm ecstatic about this Vinnies in Glenroy! Great fashion for cheap cheap CHEAP! I've bagged some designer bargains recently including a pair of Guess Jeans for myself and black Calvin Klein pants for my husband. I probably love it here most for the home furnishings and eccentric homewares and antiques. They have a massive range of really cheap, furniture in good condition including desks, tables and chairs, cupboards and shelving. Take the time to check out the beautiful assortment of heritage glassware. A real gem of a find!

Most people think it's more of a woman's thing rummaging through clothes to find something that might be "vintage" but I find it great fun trying to find cool men's clothes.

St Vincent de Paul in Sumner Park offer a lot of second hand goods to fill a wardrobe as well as a home. Not only do they have a wide selection of womens, mens and childrens clothings, which are all in reasonable condition they also have homewares. The homewares here include an array of kitchen utensils, pots and pans, cupboards, tables and chairs, sofa's and even some beds and bedding. I have bought a few trinkets from here to decorate the house with. I love collecting old books and unique figurines. The staff who work unpaid for charity are clearly passionate about what they are doing. You can see in their kindness and service. I recommend coming every two weeks to check on anything new that's been donated. Also, feel free to get in contact with them to donate any pre-loved items.

The best bit about this op shop has to be the $1 rack. In an age of vintage anything, op shops have…read moredefinitely caught on to the idea that they are stocking a goldmine of opportunity* and jacked up the prices accordingly. Finding a $1 rack of things that are wearable is fantastic. Ok, so not everything is wearable (unless you're having a Rubik's Cube party!), but it's still very cheap. Shopping at the MS shop is definitely a pot-luck experience. It's small so everything is shoved in, and whilst there is definitely a semblance of order, there is certainly no guarantee that there'll be anything useful in the pile. Keep checking, I say. Sooner or later it'll pay off. The Christmas decorations are often particularly nice. *pun unintended but kept in because it makes me feel clever.

They also have one of the best gift shops in town for that hard to buy for person. You can enjoy a coffee in their nice cafe too. Kinfolk are a social enterprise cafe where they put back a lot of the profits into great causes. Then there is HUB, a coworking space and home to creative mornings (a worldwide gathering once a month of creatives). They also have a gallery space in the basement for emerging artists. All in all Donkey Wheel is a fantastic old building and showcases some of the best of creative Melbourne. Check out their website for current goings on because it changes quite a lot.
