Love at first sight

I know I talk about Salvo’s a lot, but I found a Salvo’s online that (gasp) I hadn’t been to before (surely not!). Salvo’s Carrum Downs is on a corner just off Dandenong Frankston Road, in an industrial area; it probably doesn’t get a lot of passing foot traffic, but seems to have a regular stream of shoppers that know about its location.
Nice easy layout with furniture, clothing, accessories and a homeware section. First surprise; an authentic Burberry bag for $30! I’m not a Burberry fan, but I’m kicking myself for not buying that bag at such a bargain price, its not there anymore because I went back to check. A lesson learnt – never think twice about merchandise in op shops, just buy it and worry about it later
Secondly, a gorgeous red wool/viscose duffle coat by Bauhaus for $30 had my name on it, you could say love at first site. I just couldn’t resist this beauty:
I’ll be returning to Carrum Salvos for sure; although I bet I don’t find a $30 Burberry bag there next time.
