Did you spot Waffles in the paper a couple of weeks ago? He was such a good dog and (fairly) patiently posed for the photo, unlike my hair(!)....

The Re-usery is open for biz and we have a few things on offer. Including, a four-week Kids Fashion Club for 10 to 14yo starting next week until the end of term on Thursday afternoons. Why not get your kids cosy, crafty and creative at The Re-usery? The lovely

On our counter is a new feature: Book of the week! Huzzah! Selected by our volunteers, the book of the week will vary wildly. This week's is a winner - The Happy Ho**er: stitch and bitch crochet. Perfect for the cold days coming up.

Keep your eye out when you're in store for the next book of the week, until it's sold for the huge-mungous price of $1.

All adult books are $1 or 3 for $2 and kids books are 10 for $1. Come in and snaffle some bargains. We're open Thursday, Friday and Saturday from 10am to 4pm at 4 Lewis Drive Castlemaine. Yay.

Thank you so much!! We're so excited to have raised $500 already. We will match this, so that's now $1000. If you are able to give money at this time, we'd be so grateful. We're aiming for $1500 to then double and make $3000. 100% of the money raised will go to postage of good quality secondhand clothes to remote communities via the Remote OpShop Project

Thank you again 🙏

Thank you for your donations so far!

And thank you 🙏

Every now and then, the universe breaks through with a huge beam of joy. This letter was delivered to me, via another op shop in town, and it came from Sue, an 80yo who saw an article in the local paper about the and wanted to donate her mother's still-working beautiful Singer sewing machine! This thing is incredible! Her mother's second husband's first wife (get your head around that!) used it to make hats! Gah! I can't even deal. So I picked it up yesterday and will take it upstairs to The Re-usery. Thank you so much Sue and if you're reading this, it will be very loved.
