Day 4 - Adelaide Road Trip
Another delicious breakfast followed by last minute shopping in Hahndorf before we set off towards The Rundall Mall for a little more retail therapy.
As you may be aware, I’m a huge advocate in supporting local & small business owners, I t’s super important to support small businesses & small business owners - so when you get two shopaholic’s like Dot & Me together we love nothing better than to support the local economy!! 😃😍🛍️🛍️🛍️🛍️🛍️

Then it was time to head for McLaren Vale where our next adventure starts on Saturday morning by attending Winter Stitchmas hosted by Terry & Jennerfer from Patchwork By Sea.
We’ll have two fun filled days ahead of us, stitching, friendship, shopping, laughing & all important eating.

My store is most definitely trading as normal with Janen, Angela & Christine taking care of business in Beautiful Ballan. ❤️

Day 2 - Adelaide Road Trip
Well I hit the Mother load of Op Shops & Op Shopping!
🐝The Hive in Bordertown
40A Woolshed St
South Australia 5268🐝
Not only was this shop clean & tidy, it was full!! Full of all the amazing finds you could find in one spot. Friendly service and several chuckles from the volunteers as they watched me walk up & down the isles filling two baskets of treasures. The bubble wrap and a box appeared as they efficiently wrapped & packed my purchases. 😍

Now don’t forget, just because I’m away doesn’t mean my store is closed.

Be sure to drop off your donations responsibly, soft items in donation bins & delicate items in donation shed. Go team Steptoes Op Shop - Ballan Neighbourhood House. 💖

We have had a few questions about how to drop off more fragile donations that can’t be placed into the donation bins as we’ve noticed some donations being left out in the rain the past few days that have been damaged - you can safely place them inside the shed beside the donation bins. Any question please reach out to our team in-store during operating hours or send us a DM.

Many Thanks
Steptoes Op Shop Volunteers
